Alexander Dumas's Georgian-Style Lamb Kebabs
Alexander Dumas is best known for writing such novels as The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, but he also traveled and wrote about food. This recipe was adapted by Steven Raichlen to add a traditional Georgian spice mix. If you can't find sumac, leave it out. The software does not accept dried marigold, so I have substituted turmeric. From the Barbecue Bible. Prep time includes 1 hour marinating time.
