Main Dish for Zucchini Fritters

In my post below where I provided the recipe for the yummyliscious zucchini fritters I made for the dinner party, my friend Sarah asked for a main dish to go with these fritters.  Since I first made these fritters in my Mediterranean cooking class, I immediately thought of Lamb.  So, here is a quick and easy lamb kebob recipe to go with the zucchini fritters below.

Marinated Lamb Kebabs
Serves 6

• 2 lbs lamb shoulder, cut into 1 ¼ inch cubes
• Juice of 1 lemon
• ½ cup olive or vegetable oil
• 1 pureed onion
• 8 crushed cloves of garlic
• 2 tsp mint (1 tsp dried) dried mint
• 1 Tsp cinnamon
• Salt and pepper

Preparation:

1. Mix together all the ingredients and taste for seasonings, place cubed lamb in for 1 hour to marinate.
2. Thread lamb onto skewers and cook under a preheated broiler or grill on a well-oiled grill 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally to prevent them from burning.
3. Serve hot with pita and cucumber yogurt salad

*Marinade variations:

• Substitute thyme for the mint
• Add paprika and lemon zest
