Sosatie is a traditionalSouth African dish of meat (usually lamb or mutton) cooked on skewers.[1] The term derives fromsate ("skewered meat") andsaus ("spicy sauce"). It is ofCape Malay origin, used inAfrikaans—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 cooked by braaing (barbecued)shish kebab style. Sosatie recipes vary, but commonly the ingredients can include cubes of lamb, beef, chicken, dried apricots, red onions and mixed peppers.
To prepare,mutton chunks aremarinated overnight in friedonions,chillies,garlic,curry leaves andtamarind juice, then threaded onskewers and either pan-fried or grilled.[2] However, the most common way to cook the sosaties is outside, on abraai (or barbecue). The meat chunks are often interspersed with small onions, sliced peppers, dried apricots or prunes.
