How to Make Armenian Shish Kebab

1. In a large container, combine 1.5 lbs of cubed lamb with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup red wine, 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1 tsp dried rosemary.
2. Stir thoroughly to coat the lamb, cover, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, stirring occasionally.
3. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat about 1 hour before serving.
4. While the grill preheats, prepare your vegetables: 1 large onion, cut into 1-inch pieces; 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces; 8 oz cremini mushrooms; and 2 large tomatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces.
5. Remove the lamb from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
6. Thread lamb, onion, green pepper, and mushroom pieces onto skewers, alternating ingredients.
7. Lightly brush the vegetables with some of the reserved marinade.
8. Grill the skewers for approximately 10-12 minutes, turning frequently, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended) and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Adjust grilling time based on your grill's heat and desired level of doneness. Add tomato pieces to the skewers during the last 5 minutes of grilling.
9. Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve immediately with rice pilaf and pita bread. Enjoy!
