CAPE MALAY SOSATIES
A true classic and a source of many great childhood memories. The recipe is inspired by Louis Leipold, Hildagonda Duckett and a dear great-grandmother. The longer they are left in the marinade, the better they become. The marinade also works well with lamb chops.

Steps:
- Method Heat a large saucepan to medium heat. Melt the butter and fry the onions until soft. Add the curry powder, coriander seeds and all spice. Fry until fragrant. Add the soft brown sugar and fry for another 3 minutes, whilst the sugar caramelises. Add the lemon juice and the vinegar or tamarind water. Simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. In the mean time, prepare the meat, removing any sinew and bone. Leave as much fat as you prefer. Skewer the meat, alternating with peaches or apricots and fresh lemon leaves. Season to taste and arrange in one layer preferably, in a glass, plastic or ceramic container. Once the marinade has cooled, pour over the meat. Marinate in the fridge overnight, turning two or three times. Leave in the marinade up to 3 days for the best flavour. The sosaties also freeze well, uncooked and in the marinade. Allow to thaw if frozen, and bring to room temperature before braaiing. Braai over moderate coals for about 20 minutes - the meat should be browned on the outside and slightly pink in the middle. *to make tamarind water, soak 100 g compressed tamarind in 2 C (500 ml) warm water. Once soft, strain through a sieve to remove all of the fibres and seeds. Tamarind is available from Asian grocers and adds a fruity acidity to the marinade.
SOSATIES (SOUTH AFRICAN KABOBS)
This is a Cape Malay recipe, and traditionally it is made with lamb. Since lamb isn't readily available here, I've only used beef. According to this recipe, usually only meat is threaded onto the skewers. However, I do like to add some cubed onions to intersperse with the meat. They are served with a slightly sweet sauce made from the marinade and flavored long grain rice. Prep and cooking time do not include the marinating time!! From Classic International Recipes.

Steps:
- For the marinade, cook the onion and garlic in hot oil till the onion is tender but not brown. Stir in the curry powder, sugar, and 1/2 tsp turmeric. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, chili peppers, bay leaf, and 1/2 cup water. Let cool.
- Place the lamb or beef in a plastic bag set in a bowl. Add the marinade. Chill 8-12 hours, turning bag often. Drain the lamb (or beef), reserving the marinade.
- Strain the marinade, discarding the vegetables. Divide the marinade, use 1/3 for basting the sosaties while cooking; set aside 2/3 for the serving sauce.
- Thread the lamb or beef on 8 short skewers. (If using bamboo or wood skewers, soak in water before using). These are typically grilled in South Africa, and if so, you need to start your grill. You can also broil them. If so heat your broiler.
- Combine the rice, 1/2 tsp turmeric, saffron, 2 cups cold water, and 1/2 tsp salt; Cover. Bring to a boil, and immediately reduce heat. Cook 14 minutes more (do not lift cover!). Remove from heat; let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Grill or broil the lamb for 10 to 12 minutes or until desired doneness, brushing with 1/3 of the reserved marinade and giving a quarter turn every 3 minutes. (If broiling, broil 4 inches from heat.)
- While the sosaties are cooking, bring 2/3 of the marinade to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered for 5 to 6 minutes to reduce.
- Serve the sosaties over rice, and pass the sauce.
CAPE MALAY SOSATIES (KABOBS)
Serve these tasty sosaties over rice and chopped fruit such as banana or mango. The marinating time is at least overnight and up to 3 days, plan accordingly. You can also use beef or pork (pork is totally non-traditional) for this recipe. You can use the lemon water as a substitute, however Tamarind is traditionally used in this recipe to add a sour note to balance the sweet flavour. The easiest way to buy tamarind is in cans (Goya) in the Mexican Food section. But it is also sold in packets as a pulp, it looks like pulped dates. You will not be using the pulp, but water made from the pulp. Soak about 100 grams of pulp in water for 10-20 minutes. Squeeze the tamarind pulp with your hand to squeeze out the sour juices. Use the water and keep the pulp in the fridge to reuse. You can reuse the pulp several times until it loses it sourness.
