vinegar, and half of the chopped rosemary, together. Season the marinade
with salt and pepper. Place the lamb skewers in glass square dish, (8
inches by 8 inches), and pour the marinade over the lamb skewers. Place the
dish in the refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours. Remove the skewers from
the marinade and grill for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for mediumrare. In
a saute pan, heat the remaining olive oil. When the oil is hot saute the
onions for 4 to 5 minutes, or until wilted. Add the shallots, beans and
tomatoes and saute for 2 minutes. Add the remaining garlic. Season the
vegetables with salt and pepper. Add the red wine and veal reduction. Bring
the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer the ragu' for about
