Lamb Kebab Recipe

It’s July, and I’ve probably already been to a dozen barbecues. No offense to my friends and family, but NO MORE hamburgers and hot dogs please! I need variety. Especially in the summer. So for my July 4th barbecue, I was determined to celebrate the American liberty by freely changing up the all American diet. So I made lamb kebabs. I’d have to say that lamb kebabs are such a nice alternative to hamburgers and hot dogs. You disagree?

My lamb kebab recipe will make you want to make lamb kebabs every time you barbecue. They are easy and fun to make. And you’ll still get to enjoy the sun and the grill. Still American, still 4th of July.
