SOSATIES (SOUTH AFRICAN KEBABS)
Traditionally cubes of fat are skewered in between the pieces of meat to keep everything succulent but I have never done this. I usually thread pieces of onion cut more or less the size of the cube of meat and apricots on for a flavor dimension. If you choose to do only meat that's wonderful, too! These "kebabs" are usually served on rice with the marinade thickened to become gravy but can be enjoyed with any of your regular barbecue side dishes. The days that we were living in an apartment and did not have a barbecue facility I used to grill these in the oven with just as much success. Prep time does not include overnight marinating time.

SOSATIES (SOUTH AFRICAN KEBABS IN SPICY SAUCE)
Sosaties have their roots in Malay cuising; in Malay; sate means "spicy sauce" and sesate means "skewered meat", Lamb sosaties are the South African national favorite, but beef, pork and chicken are common also, feel free to substitute if desired. The meat is marinated for 1-2days in a spicy, curry mixture accented with apricot jam and ginger. Sosaties are prepared and served at braai, the Afrikaans word for picnic or barbecue held in the bush. Marinate time is NOT included in prep or cook times. Posted for ZWT 7. I found this at PBS.org.
