Directions
Step 1
Cut the lamb or chicken into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Step 2
Chop the red onions into wedges and the red bell pepper into large chunks. Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 4
Add the meat cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, for the best flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated meat, dried apricots, onion wedges, and red bell pepper chunks alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Step 7
Grill the sosaties for 10-15 minutes, turning frequently, until the meat is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Step 8
Serve hot with a side of rice, salad, or flatbread for a delicious South African meal.
