8-10
ingredients
- 6 minced garlic cloves
- 1⁄2 cup lemon juice
- 1⁄2 cup olive oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 2 lbs chicken or 2 lbs goat meat
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large orange bell pepper (or yellow)
- 2 large sweet onions
- 12 cremini mushrooms
directions
- Combine in a large sealable plastic bag garlic, lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, allspice, cinnamon and pepper. Seal bag and mix well.
- Cut meat into 1" cubes and place cubed meat in bag with marinade, reseal and place in refrigerator. Marinate 3- 24 hours.
- Cut peppers into 1" wide strips.
- Slice onions 1" thick and quarter.
- Place peppers, onions, mushrooms in a glass bowl or glass cake pan and brush with remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Cover & refrigerate.
- Using 10 skewers assemble alternating pepper, meat, onion, mushrooms.
- Grill on medium high grill (I use a gas grill with cover) 10 - 12 minutes, rotate and continue cooking 10 - 12 minutes. (If cooking goat or lamb meat needs to be cooked but still red, beef needs to be pink.).
- 14 - 16 pita halves or 3 - 5 cups cooked rice.
- (marinating time is not figured into the prep and cooking time, I prefer to prepare everything the night before then allow to set at room temperature 10 -15 minutes while assembling kebabs).
