Post Views: 18

“Indulge in the vibrant flavors of summer with a Chorizo, Potato, and Anchovy Skillet. The rich, smoky notes of chorizo dance with perfectly cooked potatoes and the umami kick of anchovies. Paired with a refreshing Summer Fruit and Ricotta Salad—featuring red grapes, lychees, cherry tomatoes, and creamy ricotta—it’s a delightful contrast of textures and tastes. Elevate the experience by adding a succulent sirloin steak cooked to a perfect medium-rare. Summer dining at its finest.” – ChatGPT (being overdramatic)

Date night sosatie extravaganza

Sosatie (pl sosaties) is a traditional South African dish of meat (usually lamb or mutton) cooked on skewers. The term derives from sate (“skewered meat”) and saus (spicy sauce). It is of Cape Malay origin, used in Afrikaans, 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 braaied (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. Source: Wikipedia

I think most South Africans will agree that sosaties are an essential ingredient for any traditional South African braai. I decided to make four types of different sosaties using different marinades and different meats for date night.
