Grilled skewers with a rich peanut sauce — Indonesia.
plus marinating
Equipment: Grill or griddle pan; skewers; small saucepan
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 700 g chicken thighs, cut into strips
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tbsp oil
- 4 tbsp natural peanut butter (no sugar)
- 150 ml coconut milk
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- a squeeze of lime
- Skewers
Method
- Toss the chicken strips with the curry powder, turmeric, garlic, oil and a pinch of salt. Marinate for 20 minutes if you can.
- Thread onto skewers in ribbons.
- Grill or griddle on high for 10–12 minutes, turning, until charred and cooked through with no pink inside.
- Meanwhile, gently warm the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce and lime, whisking until smooth and pourable.
- Serve the skewers with the warm peanut sauce and a crunchy cucumber salad. Taste before adding salt — the soy sauce already seasons the dish.
Swaps and tips
Use a natural peanut butter with no added sugar. Serve with cucumber salad rather than rice. Use tamari instead of soy sauce to keep it gluten-free.
