*Note: Lamb meat(s) should be cut into cubes the size of walnuts.
Place the lamb, sweetbreads, and kidney cubes in a large non-aluminum
bowl. Make a marinade of the oil, lemon juice, wine, herbs, garlic, and
pepper and pour over the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator, preferably
overnight, or for at least 3 hours. Thread the meat on long skewers
alternating the bay leaves with the tomatoes and peppers, if desired.
Grill over hot coals or broil 6 inches from the heat, brushing with the
remaining marinade and turning frequently. Season with salt and pepper,
then remove the meat from the skewers to a warm platter and crush oregano
over the top. Garnish with lemon quarters and serve hot.
