Sosatie (pl sosaties) is a traditional South African dish of meat (usually lamb or mutton) cooked on skewers. The term derives from sate ("skewered meat") and saus (spicy sauce). It is of Cape Malay origin, used in Afrikaans, the primary language of the Cape Malays, and the word has gained greater circulation in South Africa. Marinated, cubed meat (usually lamb) is skewered and barbecued shish-kebab style
Ingredients
Sosatie recipes vary, but commonly the ingredients can include cubes of lamb, dried apricots, red onions and mixed peppers.
Preparation
To prepare, mutton chunks are marinated overnight in fried onions, chillies, garlic, curry leaves and tamarind juice, then threaded on skewers and either pan-fried or grilled.[1] However, the most common way to cook the sosaties is outside, on a braai (or barbecue). The meat chunks are often interspersed with mushrooms, small onions, sliced peppers, dried apricots or prunes.
