Sosaties (Cape Malay Kebabs)
Cape Malay marinated lamb skewers with dried apricots and onions in a curry-tamarind sauce.
Why It Works
The sweet-sour tamarind marinade tenderizes the lamb while the dried apricots caramelize on the grill, adding fruity sweetness; overnight marination deeply permeates the meat.
