Ingredients

  • 4 pounds top round lamb
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 to 5 cloves)
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
  • 4 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup mild olive oil
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 small red onions
  • 4 pints cherry tomatoes
  • Wooden skewers

For the sauce:

  • 1 cup good chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup good olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Cut the lamb in 1 1/2-inch cubes. You should have about 40 cubes. Combine the garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, red wine, vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl. Add the lamb cubes, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight or for up to 2 days. Toss occasionally.

Heat a charcoal grill with coals. Spread the coals in 1 tight layer on the grill.

Cut the red onions in quarters and separate each quarter into 3 or 4 sections. Loosely thread 3 or 4 pieces of lamb alternately with sections of onion on skewers. Sprinkle both sides of the lamb with salt and pepper. Next place 4 or 5 cherry tomatoes on skewers, threading them through the stem of the tomato. Rub the tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. First, place the lamb skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning 2 or 3 times, until the lamb is medium rare. Approximately 5 minutes before the lamb is done, place the tomato skewers on the grill, turning once, until seared on the outside but still firm inside.

For the sauce, bring the chicken stock, olive oil, and lemon juice to a boil in a medium pot. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until reduced in half. Add the rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Serve the sauce on the side.

    Meh. Not one of Ina's best. (No biggie with all the five star recipes she cranks out! Made it again leaving the rosemary, wine & vinegar out and adding a savory middle eastern spice I use (cumin will also work. Took it over the top! Hubbie scarfed it so fast thought I'd need the heimlich! Think I will add just a little red pepper flake next time though. Ina's still the best! Love that Jeffrey too.

    Very tasty. I forgot to salt and pepper the kabobs and there was still plenty of flavor - rave reviews from our dinner guests. I made up separate skewers for the lamb only in order to control the doneness of the meat without over cooking veggies. I used zucchini, cremini mushrooms and cherry medallion tomatoes (multi- color

    I've never prepared lamb before. This recipe was easy and with pleasant taste. My husband congratulated me and thanked because his mother used to prepare lamb and she passed away.
