Shish Kebab and Marinade

Ingredients:

5 lb. leg of lamb
3 large onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed with 3 tsp. salt
1/3 cup red wine
1/3 cup tarragon wine vinegar
1/3 cup Kikkoman soy sauce
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. Beau Monde * see note

Procedure:

Cut lamb into small cubes. Arrange meat and onions in shallow pan. Mix remaining ingredients, pour over meat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Place lamb on skewers, broil 15-20 min., turning frequently. Heat onions and sauce to boiling, reduce heat, cook for 10-15 min. to reduce sauce and cook properly.

Serve sauce to spoon over meat. Will serve a lot. Good company dish, serve with rice, Pita bread, good salad.
