My parents made this all time favorite every time we had a barbecue. My mom would line a baking sheet with pita bread for the kabobs to rest on after they cooked. I remember sneaking to the grill with my sister to grab some samples before dinner was ready because we just couldn't wait. Serve with soaked pita, cilantro jalepeño hummus, and Israeli salad.
