How to Make Barbecue Kiwi Lamb Kabobs

  1. Halve 1 kiwi fruit and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
  2. Mash the kiwi well with a fork until completely smooth.
  3. In a large zip-top bag, combine the mashed kiwi with 1 lb boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Seal the bag, removing excess air, and marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  5. Preheat your grill to high heat. While the grill preheats, soak 8-10 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. Remove the lamb from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Thread the lamb cubes onto the skewers.
  7. Grill the kabobs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the lamb reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.
  8. Remove from grill, let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
