Herbed Lamb, Tomato, and Zucchini KebabsRomulo Yanes

Kebabs are not only fun to eat, they also save time: It takes less than 10 minutes for these lamb cubes to cook up medium-rare. The marinade, made with fresh thyme and rosemary, infuses both the meat and the vegetables with south-of-France flavor.

Cooks' note:

If you can't grill outdoors, kebabs can be cooked in batches on a lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat. Grill vegetables first, cooking until tomatoes are softened but not falling apart, 6 to 8 minutes, and zucchini is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a shallow baking pan as grilled and keep warm in a 200°F oven while grilling lamb until medium-rare, 6 to 8 minutes.
