       Brochettes d'agneau a l'estragon -- Lamb Brochettes with Tarragon

       Ingredients

       1/2         leg of lamb -- perhaps 31/2 to 4 pounds
       1 cup       dry red wine
       1 Tbl       dried tarragon
       2 Tbl       red wine vinegar
       2 Tbl       olive oil
       2 tsp       finely minced garlic
       12-16       mushroom caps
       salt and pepper to taste
       melted butter
       fresh lemon juice

       Method

       Bone the lamb removing all fat and skin; about 21/4 pounds
       of meat should remain.  Cut into 11/2 inch cubes.  Put meat
       into a bowl with the wine, tarragon, vinegar, oil, garlic,
       and salt and pepper to taste.  Mix thoroughly, let marinate
       about 4 hours, and drain the meat.

       Arrange the lamb on 6 to 8 skewers, putting a mushroom cap
       at each end of each skewer.  Broil, turning often, until
       meat is done -- about 10 minutes.  Serve with melted butter
       and a squeeze of lemon juice dribbled over each skewer.
