This is an awesome treat for the grill. We raise grass-fed lambs that are weaned naturally. Experimenting with lamb recipes over the past 15 years has become a hobby. Lamb and garlic go so well together. In this recipe, the combination of herbs and spices complement this meat and make a great family-and-friend favorite.

I love this recipe! The first time I made it my husband said he could eat it every day but I'm limiting him to once/week! We don't add the cherries - too sweet for our tastes. Tastes great without them! Read More

The marinade was great - just totally overpowered the lamb. When I eat lamb I want to taste the lamb especially considering the cost of lamb. Perhaps if I just brushed it over the lamb on the grill instead of marinating it that would have been better. But I don't think I would waste more lamb on this recipe sorry. Read More

Excellent mariade. Easy and flavorful. I didn't even watch the proportions-- just threw together in a plastic bag, dropped in meat and let sit overnight. Read More

My wife is not normally a lamb eater but this marinade has changed that! We buy boned leg of lamb cut into kabob sizes and mix the marinade and lamb in a large container, let it sit overnight then transfer to ziplock bags with 2-3 servings per bag. Freeze and pull out for an easy barbeque. Wonderful! Read More

Delicious marinade. We used new potatoes instead of cherries and mushrooms and that was very good too. Read More

Cut recipe in third....mostly 2 tablespoons of the Dijon mustard. marinaded for about 2 hours. This was really tasty. Did not add any of the fruit just peppers onions and mushrooms. Dredged them in the sauce when I put on the skewer. Served with spinach salad and pilaf great! Read More
