Lamb Kabobs with peppers and tomatoes

Serves 4

1 lb (500g) lean lamb leg steaks
1 large sweet red pepper
1 large sweet yellow pepper
8 crimini mushrooms
8 cherry tomatoes, peeled if preferred
olive oil, to drizzle

Herb paste:
finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried mint
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. dried ground rosemary
1/2 tsp. dried tarragon
1 Tbsp. olive oil
sea salt and black pepper

Cut the lamb steaks into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes and place in a bowl. Stir together all ingredients for the herb paste and pour over the lamb. Toss well to coat the pieces evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let marinate for several hours, or overnight. Soak 6-8 bamboo skewers in cold water for at least 20 minutes.

Halve the peppers, remove the core and seed, then cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Thread the peppers, lamb, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the soaked bamboo skewers.

Heat the barbeque or place a stovetop grill pan over high heat, Drizzle a little olive oil over the skewers and sprinkle with some sea salt and pepper. Barbeque or grill the skewers for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on each side. Let rest for a minute or two, then serve with side salads of your choice.
