1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of visible fat, cut into 30 cubes
3/4 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
Nonstick cooking spray
2 small red onions, root end left intact and cut into 6 wedges each
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 12 pieces
Combine oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in a large zip-close plastic bag; mix well. Add the lamb, seal the bag and turn several times to coat. Marinate the lamb at room temperature 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
WHEN READY TO COOK:
Cook rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
Preheat broiler. Coat a broiler pan with nonstick spray.
