This was a decent but not great kabob choice from FreshDirect’s ready-to-cook department. The lamb was a bit on the tough side, and the overwhelming MSG flavor nearly ruined these for me.

Curry-spiced couscous and diced cucumber (my addition) provided a good counterbalance to the grilled lamb & vegetables. A glass or two of the surprisingly flavorful and dry (for a rosé) Santa Julia Syrah Rosé (also from FD’s wine department) paired well with this meal.

This was a very quick and easy meal to put together, with nothing more complicated involved than chopping, stirring, and grilling, with most of the work involved in side dishes, not the kabobs.
