Overview of Sosatie:
```
Sosatie[edit | edit source]
Sosatie (also spelled sosaties) is a traditional South African dish of meat (usually lamb or mutton) marinated in a curry-based sauce, then skewered and grilled or braaied. The term comes from sate ("skewered meat") and saus (spicy sauce).
Origin and History[edit | edit source]
The dish has its roots in the Cape Malay community, who were brought to the Cape of Good Hope in the 17th and 18th centuries from various parts of Southeast Asia by the Dutch East India Company. The word "sosatie" is of Malay origin.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The meat for sosaties is usually marinated overnight in a mixture of onions, garlic, curry powder, tamarind juice, brown sugar, and bay leaves. The marinated meat is then threaded onto skewers, alternating with dried apricots, onions, and bell peppers. The sosaties are then grilled or braaied until the meat is cooked to the desired level.
Serving[edit | edit source]
Sosaties are traditionally served with yellow rice and a side of chutney. They are a popular dish at braais (South African barbecues), and are also often served at parties and other social gatherings.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While lamb or mutton is the traditional meat used in sosaties, other meats such as beef or chicken can also be used. Some variations also include different types of fruit or vegetables on the skewers, such as pineapple or cherry tomatoes.
