Garlic Mushroom Kebobs

When it kebobs, it difficult to pin exactly where they originated as virtually all countries and cultures skewer meat and vegetables over a fire, however, the word itself originates in Arabia, and is quite popular in Mediterranean cultures. In general, making kebobs is a two step process, first you marinate the items, usually meat, then you skew and grill them. This recipe does not use meat, so vegetarians rejoice. While this recipe can be cook over a grill or campfire, I present an oven alternative.
