Sometimes you need some colour in life. The winter can be so gloomy and colourless and that is  why I decided it’s time for a colourful sosatie. 

This is a great recipe and it serves 4 comfortably. 

Recommended wine: The Arniston Bay Shiraz will definitely complement this meal 

Grilled Lamb Sosatie Recipe 

Ingredients  

2 medium green bell peppers, cut into 2cm pieces
Salt and pepper
700g boneless lamb leg, trimmed and cut into 2.5 cm cubes
1 medium onion, cut into 2cm pieces
4 slices bacon, each cut into 4 pieces
1/2 cup olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 tablespoons lemon juice (juice of 1 large lemon)
2 tablespoons brandy
1 teaspoon tomato sauce
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
Vegetable oil for brushing the kebabs 

Method
In a medium saucepan place peppers in boiling water. Return water to a boil. Remove peppers from water; drain. 

Sprinkle salt and pepper on lamb cubes. On eight 25cm skewers alternately thread meat, pepper, and onion pieces. Thread bacon pieces on both ends of each skewer. Set aside. 

In a blender or food processor purée oil, onion, lemon juice, brandy, tomato sauce, garlic, mustard, oregano, thyme, and cayenne pepper until smooth. 

Lightly oil sosaties and place in center of cooking grate. Grill 7 to 9 minutes for rare (140°F/60°C), 10 to 13 minutes for medium (160°F/71°C), or 14 to 17 minutes for medium-well (170°F/77°C), turning once halfway through grilling time. Brush sosaties with purée occasionally during last half of grilling time. 

Note: If using wooden skewers, soak in water thirty minutes before using so ends won’t burn during grilling time.
