Mmmm Lamb...

Ok, so for those of you that know me, you know my all time favorite food is Lamb.  As much as I love Lamb though, I rarely cook it.  It's my special meal that I like to order anytime I'm out, but I discovered a recipe that does Lamb in a completely different way than your traditional rack of lamb with rosemary and garlic.  I caught the last 5 minutes of a Rachel Ray episode - I believe it was her 30 minute meals show on the Food Network.  She was at the point of plating, and my mouth instantly started to water.  Lamb Kabobs, Couscous, Yogurt Dipping Sauce, & Grilled Veggies.  It all looked so amazing and colorful, and to think it was done in 30 mins! 

Since I am in the process of moving cross country, and couldn't mess up my own kitchen, I had to wait before I could make it.  But the first chance I have access to a kitchen, and it's on.  I flew in to San Francisco Saturday afternoon, and my Dad sent me a text asking if I wanted BBQ for dinner.  He knows I love his Ribs, and that I haven't had them since the holidays.  I decided I would cook instead, and have my Dad be my Sous Chef.  He instantly promoted himself to Executive Sous Chef, and we hit the stores. 

First stop Costco - that's where we picked up the leg of lamb.  4 lbs of lamb for only $20 - you can't beat that.  Next stop was Trader Joe's.  I knew I could get all the rest of the ingredients there.

Dad did all the chopping and I did all the plating and mixing.  30 minutes later, we had this amazing platter of couscous, veggies, and lamb.  Served with toasted flat bread on the side, it was delish!
