Beef or chicken kebabs (sosaties)

Serves: 2
Cooking Time: 1 hour 15 minutes + overnight, to marinate

Ingredients

  • 400g rump steak/chicken fillets, cut in bite-sized chunks to make 4 sosaties
  • 40g red bell peppers, cut into 2,5cm squares
  • 40g green bell peppers, cut into 2,5cm squares
  • 40g yellow bell peppers, cut into 2,5cm squares
  • 40g onions, peeled and cut into 2,5cm squares
  • 1L (4 cups) Imbizo Shisanyama African Chilli Sauce/your choice of marinade

Instructions

1

To assemble your kebabs, alternate chunks of fillet or chicken with each vegetable onto four 20cm wooden skewers until all of the ingredients have been used up.

2

Place the sosaties in a deep square bowl and pour 750ml (3 cups) of the marinade over the top. Ensure the ingredients are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate to marinate overnight.

3

Remove from fridge and place over a coal fire to braai. Use the remaining 250ml (1 cup) sauce to baste the beef over the fire. Rotate the sosaties every 5 minutes, 35 – 45 minutes. Watch they don’t burn – this will depend on the intensity of the fire.

4

Remove the sosaties from the fire and serve immediately with the tasty braai sides (page 95, F&HE September 2015)
