How to make Lamb Kebabs with Mint Pesto

Blend first 7 ingredients in processor to coarse puree. With machine running, gradually pour in 120ml oil; puree until almost smooth. Transfer pesto to bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Mix 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, coarse salt, and coriander in medium bowl. Add lamb; toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Thread lamb on skewers alternately with peppers and onions. Place on baking sheet. Brush with oil; sprinkle with pepper. Grill to desired doneness, turning occasionally, 7 to 9 minutes for medium-rare.

Arrange kebabs on serving platter. Drizzle each kebab very lightly with pesto and serve remaining pesto alongside.
