  • skewers

Directions

  1. Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl to blend.
  2. Place fish and lamb in separate medium glass or stainless steel bowls.
  3. Add 2/3 cup marinade to each; toss to coat. Chill at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Reserve remaining marinade for basting and making sauce.
  4. Drain fish. Alternate 2 fish cubes, 2 tomato halves, 2 peach wedges, and 2 onion bottoms on each of 8 skewers.
  5. Drain lamb. Alternate 2 lamb cubes, 2 bell pepper squares, 2 eggplant cubes, and 2 zucchini rounds on each of 8 skewers. (Kebabs can be assembled 2 hours ahead. Arrange on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Cover; chill.)
  6. Spray grill rack with nonstick spray, then prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).

  8. Transfer kebabs to platter.
  9. Bring marinade in saucepan to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  10. Whisk in butter, 1 slice at a time, allowing each to melt before adding next (do not boil). Season butter sauce to taste with pepper.
