Instructions

  1. Cube the lamb into roughly 2 inch cubes and set aside.

Make the Marinade

  1. Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine. Add the cubed lamb, cover with plastic wrap and marinade in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Prepare the skewers

  1. If using, cut the red onion into 2 inch pieces.
  2. Place the lamb, onion, and dehydrated apricot on the skewers, alternating between the 3. Be careful not to poke yourself with the sharp skewers.

Grill the sosaties

  1. Heat your grill, smoker, or fire pit to a medium high heat (about 400 degrees).
  2. Grill the sosaties over direct heat. Rotate and flip them about every 5 minutes to prevent them from burning. Check the meat with a meat thermometer and remove when they reach your desired temp.
