Method

  • step 1

    Soak 12 bamboo skewers in water while marinating the meat. Mix the meat with the soy sauce and sesame oil, and place in the fridge for at least 30 mins or up to 24 hrs.

  • step 2

    In a saucepan, combine coconut cream and red curry paste, then cook for 5 mins on a low heat. Add the fish sauce, palm sugar, tamarind paste and chopped peanuts, cook for a further 5 mins, then add the coconut milk.

  • step 3

    Heat the grill to high, thread marinated meat onto the soaked skewers and place on a baking tray. Grill for 5 mins on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately with the satay dipping sauce.

RECIPE TIPS
JOHN'S TIPS

John Torode says: "It’s best to soak the skewers in warm water for an hour before you start. This will stop them from splintering and also prevent them from burning when you cook them. Try to leave the meat to marinate for 24 hours. It helps to tenderise it, makes it easier to thread and improves the taste."

Would this work with chicken breast instead of pork?

Hello, Thank you for your question, yes you could use chicken breast instead of pork. We haven't tested the recipe using chicken so keep an eye on the cooking time. You also don't need to marinate the meat for as long as chicken is already more tender than pork. I hope this helps.

Not sure the measurement for tamarind paste is correct - should it be 4 teaspoons instead of 4 tablespoons maybe? It was way too much

We have now re-tested this recipe and changed the quantity to 2 - 3 tbsp tamarind paste according to taste.

This is delicious. The satay I made just as the recipe stated. I whizzed the peanuts in a little grinder. It was superb. I marinated the pork overnight in the simple marinade but it worked brilliantly. Perfection!
