What to do:
1. For the marinade, slice the kiwifruit into halves and scoop the fruit out into a food processor or blender. Add sour cream and garlic, and pureé until just blended. Take care not to crush the kiwifruit seeds, as this can make your marinade bitter.
2. Place the lamb chops into a large bowl, and top with the marinade. Stir until the meat is coated. Refrigerate 2 hours.
3. For the salsa, slice the kiwifruit into halves and spoon chunks out onto a cutting board; dice. Place all salsa ingredients into a medium bowl and stir until blended. Set aside.
4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Brush excess marinade from the lamb chops. Grill lamb 2 to 3 minutes per side until just cooked.
