Description

Marinated just the way you like it, these curry lamb sosaties will be an instant favourite. Dried fruit and bacon add a distinct, but not overwhelming, flavour to this well-loved braai essential.

Directions

For the sosaties:

1. Before assembling your sosaties, soak the skewers in freshly boiled water until the water has cooled.

2. Now, carefully thread your succulent lamb cubes, onions from the marinade, bacon, dried fruit, lemon or orange leaves and peppadews onto your skewers, one by one, until all the lamb cubes have been used.

3. Return to the marinade until ready to braai.

4. Braai over hot coals until brown on the outside, but still juicy and pink on the inside.

5. Serve with pap smothered in a delicious curry sauce and a crisp green salad.

 

For the marinade:

1. To make the marinade, combine all of the ingredients in a non-metallic bowl.

2. Toss the deboned and cubed leg of lamb meat through the marinade to coat evenly.

3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 days (or up to 5 days).

 

For the mild & creamy curry sauce:

1. Heat oil in a saucepan set over a moderate heat.

2. Fry the onions and curry powder until the onions are soft and translucent.

3. Add the flour and stir until lightly browned.

4. Add the sugar, vinegar and chutney.

5. While stirring, gradually add the chicken stock.

6. Bring to the boil for 2 min.

7. Taste and season with salt if necessary.
