Introduce the ingredients: chorizo bison, sweet Italian sausage, and boneless lamb chops.

Cut the lamb chops into smaller pieces, about half the size.

Brush the lamb chops with a tiny bit of oil on both sides.

Season the lamb chops with salt, black pepper, turmeric, and minced garlic on both sides.

Prepare the skewers by threading the meat and vegetables: start with lamb, add bell pepper, then sausage, followed by another piece of pepper, then chorizo, and finish with another pepper and a cherry tomato.

Heat a cast iron skillet and brush it with a little extra virgin olive oil.

Preheat the oven to broil on low heat and place the skewers in the skillet.

Prepare a glaze using balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and a tablespoon of plant-based sweetener, mixing for about 1-2 minutes on medium heat.

After 10 minutes, apply some glaze to the lamb and sausage on the skewers.

Flip the skewers over and apply more glaze, then return them to the oven for another 10 minutes.

After the second 10 minutes, remove the skewers from the oven and apply more glaze, then flip them again.

Turn off the oven and return the skewers for an additional 2 minutes.
