Method
Cut the lamb into 5cm cubes. Put the marinade ingredients in a food processor, season with black pepper and blend until smooth. Put the marinade and lamb in a ziplock bag or lidded plastic container. Massage or stir the marinade around the lamb, making sure the meat is well covered. Leave in the fridge for 3-5 hrs, or overnight for a stronger flavour.
To make the kebabs, remove the lamb from the fridge. Pour the marinade into a pan and bring to the boil over a medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer for 10 mins or until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the sugar and butter and stir through until dissolved.
Now take 6 bamboo or metal skewers. (If using bamboo, pre-soak them in water for a few hours or overnight – this will stop them burning). Thread the lamb and pineapple on to the skewers, alternating meat and fruit.
Preheat your grill to hot, making sure the coals are white if using charcoal. Brush the kebabs with a little oil. For medium-rare lamb, grill for 3 mins on each side, brushing with marinade as you turn them. If you like your lamb more well done, add another minute per side.
Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Arrange the kebabs on a plate and garnish with the tomatoes, lime and coriander. Drizzle the sauce on top or serve on the side for dipping.
