Beef Sosaties (kebabs), lightly curried
A lightly curried marinade can be made as follows:
Ingredients
3 onions
a little oil for frying
2T curry powder
½t salt
250ml apricot jam
3 lemon leaves
1000ml brown vinegar
1 dessertspoon (12.5ml) turmeric
3T sugar
Method
1. Fry the onions in the oil until soft.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and boil together for about ½ hour.
3. Cool marginally, and then pour over the meat. The sauce must still be hot for it to be absorbed by the meat.
4. Let it stand in the refrigerator for a day or two. The marinated meat can be frozen successfully.
5. The remainder of the sauce can be kept in the refrigerator for a while and re-used, or frozen until needed again. The fresh lemon leaves can also be frozen successfully.
To make beef kebabs, cut beef into cubes of about 4cm in diameter. After the meat has marinated in the curry marinade, take kebab skewers and alternate with soft apricots and raw onion quarters. If you’d like, you can add red peppers as well. Season lightly just before removing from the coals.
