Barbecue Kiwi Lamb Kabobs are a flavorful and easy-to-make main dish that combines savory and sweet flavors in a delicious and healthy way. Cubes of tender lamb are marinated in a blend of soy sauce, sherry, garlic, olive oil, and mashed kiwi fruit, which helps to tenderize the meat while adding a pleasantly tart and tangy taste. The kabobs are then threaded onto bamboo skewers and grilled to perfection, creating a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. These kabobs are a healthy and flavorful way to enjoy lamb, and they can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as rice, quinoa, or grilled vegetables.

Instructions

1.	Peel and rinse the kiwi fruit, then mash it up in a bowl with a fork.
2.	Add in the crushed garlic, dark soy sauce, dry sherry, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper, and mix everything together until it forms a smooth marinade.
3.	Place the cubed lamb in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it.
4.	Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
5.	Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes, then thread the marinated lamb onto the skewers, being careful not to overcrowd them.
6.	Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with oil. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and slightly charred.
7.	Serve the kabobs hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley.
