Sosatie

Okay kiddo, have you ever had a yummy kebab with meat and veggies on a stick? Well in some places, they call those sticks sosatie!

Sosatie is a South African dish that's sort of like a kebab or a shish kebab. It's made by putting cubes of meat (usually lamb or beef) onto a skewer with some veggies (like onions and peppers), and then grilling it until it's cooked through. Sometimes people also add fruit like apricots to the skewers for a sweet and savory twist.

But what makes sosatie really special is the marinade that the meat is soaked in before it's grilled. The marinade is made with things like curry powder, chutney, and vinegar, and it gives the meat a really flavorful kick that you can't get with just regular seasoning.

So there you have it - sosatie is a tasty South African dish that's like a kebab, but with a special marinade that makes it even more delicious!
