This traditional South African lamb and apricot kebabs recipe has been in our family for generations. My mom and I remember my grandma, used to prepare this South African lamb and apricot kebabs every time we had a braai/bbq. There are quite a few variations of the lamb and apricot kebab recipe, but we prefer the traditional method, using lamb, instead of chicken or beef. You can, however, use chicken or beef, but lamb goes especially well with apricots and soaks up the marinade in a way that other meats can not. We prefer to have this South African lamb and apricot kebabs on a Saturday evening. It is a filling meal, but of course, it goes well with other meats, like sausage (braaied wors). I really hope you enjoy this South African lamb and apricot kebabs recipe as much as I do.
This recipe is also called South African lamb and apricot sosaties. Sosaties is the South African name for kebabs.
