1

Mix olive oil, lemon juice, wine, and garlic; season with salt, pepper, oregano, rosemary, and bay leaf. Toss the lamb with the marinade until coated, transfer to a resealable plastic bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
2

Move the oven rack to the top position and set the oven to broil.
3

Take the lamb out of the marinade and thread it onto metal skewers; save the marinade. Thread the onion wedges, green peppers, and mushrooms onto separate metal skewers. Brush the vegetables with the reserved marinade.
4

Broil the skewers on a broiler pan, turning often. Cook the onions for 12 minutes, the lamb for 10 minutes, the green pepper for 7 minutes, and the mushrooms for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool until cool enough to handle.
5

Remove the skewers from the ingredients and set them aside. Reassemble the skewers, alternating lamb, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes. Place on a broiler pan and brush again with the marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.
6

Broil the skewers again to finish, turning often until the lamb is medium-rare and the vegetables start to blacken in spots, 5 to 7 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
