1/2 pound smoky whole slab bacon, cut into 1-inch squares
2 tablespoons cilantro (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper

Mix seasonings with olive oil and make into a paste. Rub paste on lamb cubes. Thread the ingredients on skewers, alternating the lamb and bacon with the onion and peppers, starting and ending with a mushroom.
