No one will be able to hurry past these kebabs — inspired by Mediterranean street food — without stopping for a snack. On busy streets in practically any Mediterranean city, you’re bound to see people snacking on grilled skewers. Vendors in tiny stalls crank out countless kebabs made with just about anything that can be speared on a stick and seared over coals.
Satisfy your appetite and maybe even a little bit of your wanderlust with these kebabs of lamb, red bell pepper, and onion — all enhanced with a very-Mediterranean marinade of red wine, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. After assembling and grilling the kebabs, enjoy them straight off the skewers with Tzatziki Sauce for dipping. You may want to have pitas or flatbread available, too, for your friends and family’s snacking pleasure.
