Lemon Garlic Lamb Kabobs     

Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds well-trimmed boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1-1/4 inch pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
thin lemon wedges
1 red or yellow bell pepper, cut into wedges
1 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow squash, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
8 ounces large fresh button mushrooms, stems trimmed
fresh oregano sprigs for garnish

Preparation:
Place lamb in large resealable plastic food storage bag. To prepare marinade, combine oil, juice, garlic, oregano, salt and black pepper in small bowl; pour marinade over lamb in bag. Seal bag tightly; turn to coat. Marinate lamb in refrigerator 1 to 4 hours, turning once. To prevent sticking, spray grid with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare coals for grilling. Drain lamb; reserve marinade. Alternately thread lamb, lemon wedges, bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, onion and mushrooms onto 12 (10-inch) metal skewers; brush both sides with reserved marinade. Grill kabobs, on covered grill, over medium-hot coals 6 minutes. Turn continue to grill, cover, 5 to 7 minutes for medium or until desired doneness is reached. Garnish, if desired. The lemon wedges caramelize on the grill, making them slightly sweet. When serving the skewers, squeeze the lemon juice over the lamb for added flavor.
