Lamb and mushroom sosaties tips
Leave the kidneys to rest in milk overnight to help flush out any toxins. The button mushrooms provide a welcome textural contrast and a milder flavour profile. Layers of onion, pepper, and even apricots give colour and flavour to these skewers. If you plan on using skewers on the braai, it’s important to remember to soak them in stock or water to prevent the ends from catching fire. Prepare with care and serve with your favourite dipping sauce.
