Why It Works
The lamb is marinated in a flavorful combination of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. This helps to tenderize the lamb and give it a delicious flavor.
The vegetables are cooked on skewers, which allows them to get evenly cooked all over. This also helps to prevent the vegetables from becoming mushy.
The kebabs are grilled over medium heat, which helps to cook the lamb through without overcooking it. This results in a juicy and tender lamb that's full of flavor.
