Preparation:

In a large nonmetallic bowl, stir together oil, lemon juice, chopped onion, bay leaves, oregano, and pepper. Add lamb; stir to coat. cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight; stirring several times.

Lift meat from marinade and drain briefly. Add red onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms to marinade; turn to coat, then lift out, reserving marinade.
