1
clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/2
teaspoon dried oregano

Preparation:
1.
To make marinade, combine orange juice concentrate, oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, black and red peppers in large heavy-duty resealable food storage bag. Add lamb; seal bag tightly. Turn bag to coat pieces thoroughly. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours, turning occasionally.
