Sosatie is a traditional South African dish of meat (usually lamb or mutton) cooked on skewers.{{cite book | last=Raichlen | first=S. | title=Planet Barbecue!: 309 Recipes, 60 Countries | publisher=Workman Publishing Company | year=2015 | isbn=978-0-7611-6447-0 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yQEsCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA251 | language=de | access-date=May 26, 2017 | page=251}} 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 cooked by braaing (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.
