These lamb kabobs are marinated in very little oil or salt, but the flavor is lively when wine, lemon juice, rosemary, and garlic are added.

This was excellent!! We used lamb and added green, red & yellow peppers. My husband and daughter had theirs on top of rice. Since I'm cutting calories low, I had mine on top of salad. It was a delicious idea!!!!

this recipe was great! I increased the wine and stock, and a bit more garlic, and used top sirloin instead of lamb. Will make it again for dinner!

These kabobs were great! I would serve these to guests in a heart beat. They were easy for the kids to prepare as well. They went good with a bed of rice.

Sounds great-all of my favorite things, except the lamb. How much would it change the calories etc., to use chicken or lean beef instead I wonder?

I'd add a variety of vegetables -green, red or yellow peppers, yellow squash or zucchini to increase the fiber content and get those daily servings. Pork or chicken might be good if lamb is not a meat you enjoy; just adjust the calorie count.

I think I'll make this soon, subbing lean pork for the lamb. One note...the recipe should state that the items are marinated separately; at the least, the meat should be segregated from the veggies. If you cut the meat into smaller chunks, and the veggies bigger, then there'd be less discrepancy.

Sounds Yummie, but my hubby and I are not lamb eaters. Perhaps I will try it with beef or a lean pork loin for a sub. Thanks for sharing! I will let you know how it turns out!!
