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.
