Lamb and apricot Braai Sosaties

For more similar fantastic braai sosatie recipes click here! more recipes…

Ingredients:

  • 900g lamb neck fillet, cut into 1cm discs
  • 1 small red onion, cut into 6-8 wedges and separated into slivers
  • 200g dried apricots

For the marinade

  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tsp coriander seeds
  • 4 cardamom pods
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 bay leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 5 tbsp apricot jam
  • 5 tbsp red wine vinegar

Directions

  1. First make the marinade: set a small saucepan over a medium heat, then add the cumin and coriander seeds and cardamom pods.
  2. Toast for a couple of minutes, stirring, until they smell fragrant, then tip into a pestle and mortar and roughly grind.
  3. Pour the oil into the pan, add the chopped onion, bay leaves and salt and cook very gently for 15-20 minutes until softened. Add the garlic, crushed spices, turmeric and cinnamon and cook for another minute.
  4. Spoon in the jam and add the vinegar, along with a good grind of black pepper. Cook for a few minutes until the jam has melted and you have a sticky sauce. Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool completely.
  5. Once the marinade is cold, add the lamb and stir thoroughly to coat each piece. Cover and keep in the fridge for 24 hours if you have time – longer wouldn’t hurt at all (see Genevieve’s know-how).
  6. When you’re ready to cook, fire up your barbecue ready for direct grilling but, as always, leave a good area of the grill surface with no coals under so you can slide the skewers off the direct heat if they’re cooking too fast.
  7. Thread the lamb pieces onto skewers, alternating with the slivers of onion and apricots.
  8. Lay the skewers on the grill bars over the hot coals and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side – so around 8-12 minutes in total – until the lamb is cooked and the apricots are lightly charred. Serve hot from the grill.

Thai grilled chicken Braai

For more similar awesome chicken braai recipes click here! more recipes…

Ingredients:

  •  2–2.5kg whole free-range chicken
  • Steamed rice and lime wedges to serve

For the marinade

  • 3 tbsp chopped coriander, roots and stalks
  • 1 garlic bulb, cloves peeled
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 30g fresh turmeric, grated (see Know-how)
  • 2 tsp white peppercorns
  • 3 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce

For the nam jim jaew

  • 1 tbsp glutinous (sticky) rice
  • 2 small Thai shallots (or 1 regular shallot), thinly sliced
  • 1 spring onion, green part only, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1-2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp chilli flakes (or to taste)

Directions

  1. To make the marinade, pound the coriander roots and stalks, garlic, sugar, turmeric and peppercorns to a paste in a pestle and mortar, then mix in the fish sauce and soy sauce.
  2. Spatchcock the chicken by cutting either side of the backbone with kitchen scissors. Remove the bone, turn the bird over, then open it out and press down firmly with the heel of your hand to flatten). Rub the marinade all over the chicken, then cover and marinate in the fridge overnight.
  3. Toast the glutinous rice in a pan or wok over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring continuously to stop it burning. It should have an even golden colour. Let the rice cool, then grind to a coarse powder in a spice grinder/pestle and mortar. You want to retain some of the crunchy texture, so take care not to grind it too finely.
  4. When you’re ready to cook, prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking with the coals banked to one side. When the coals are ready, almost close the vents, leaving just a small gap at the top and the bottom. Wipe any large clumps of marinade off the chicken and cook the bird away from the coals, breast side up, with the legs facing towards the hotter side, for 1½ hours. You may need to move the chicken during cooking so it barbecues evenly.
  5. To make the nam jim jaew, combine all the ingredients with the toasted rice powder in a bowl. Let the chicken rest somewhere warm for 15 minutes before serving it with the dipping sauce, steamed rice and lime wedges.
