This recipe is compliments of Tyler Florence from the Cooking Network. It is one of the best peanut satay sauces I have ever tasted. Ingredients:
marinade |
1-1/2 cups plain yogurt |
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger |
1 - 2 garlic cloves, minced |
1-1/2 tablespoon curry powder |
1-1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips |
20 wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes |
vegetable oil, for grilling |
boston lettuce leaves |
fresh cilantro leaves |
makes 20 skewers |
Directions:
1. Combine the yogurt, ginger, garlic, and curry powder in a shallow mixing bowl, stir to combine.
2. Place the chicken strips in the yogurt marinade and gently toss until well coated.
3. Cover and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at up to 2 hours.
4. Thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers working the skewer in and out of the meat, down the middle of the piece, so that it stays in place during grilling.
5. Place a grill pan over medium heat and brush it with oil to prevent the meat from sticking.
6. Grill the chicken satays for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until nicely seared and cooked through.
7. Serve the satays on a platter lined with lettuce leaves and cilantro; accompanied by a small bowl of peanut sauce on the side.
8. Peanut Sauce:
9. 1 cup smooth peanut butter
10. 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
11. 1 - 2 teaspoons red chili paste, such as sambal
12. 2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
13. 2 limes, juiced
14. 1/2 cup hot water
15. 1/4 cup chopped peanuts, for garnish(optional)
16. (I personally use finely sliced spring onion for the garnish)
17. Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, red chili paste, brown sugar, and lime juice in a food processor or blender.
18. Puree to combine. While the motor is running, drizzle in the hot water to thin out the sauce, you may not need all of it.
19. Pour the sauce into a nice serving bowl and garnish with the chopped peanuts.
20. Serve with chicken satay.
21. Makes: 3 cups
