Ingredients

  • Ingredients MARINADE 2 lemongrass stalks, trimmed and finely chopped 15g (7 1/2 teaspoons) fresh root ginger, finely chopped 2 plump garlic cloves, peeled and crushed 1 red chilli, deseeded if you like it less hot, finely chopped 1.5 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp ground coriander 1/2 tsp ground tumeric 1/2 tsp agave 3 tsbp tamari or soy sauce 1 tbsp rapeseed oil or olive oil PEANUT SATAY SAUCE 100g (6 Tbsp) smooth peanut butter 140ml (about 1/2 cup) coconut milk 3/4 tbsp tamari or soya sauce 2 tsp lime juice 1/2 tsp chilli flakes 1 1/2 tbsp protein powder (optional) 2 lime wedges

Preparation

  • Method   If you are using wooden skewers, soak them for about 20-30 mins in cold water so that they do not burn when you cook the satay Make the marinade – Finely chop the lemon grass, root ginger, chillies and mix with crushed garlic in a bowl. Add the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, agave syrup, lime juice, tamari/soya sauce and rapeseed or olive oil. Alternatively, you can blitz this all in a food processor to form a paste Prepare the protein – Slice the tofu into thick slices about 1.5cm thick (or cubes if you are skewering them) Make the satay – Put the peanut butter, coconut milk, chilli flakes, tamari or soya sauce, lime juice and protein powder of choice into a small saucepan and on a low heat melt the peanut butter and mix all the ingredients together to form a thick sauce. Pour into a bowl and decorate with 2 slices of fresh red chilli Coat the tofu with the satay marinade for at least 30 mins in the fridge Grill marinated tofu slices for about 4-5 mins each side. (Note: these are also great on the barbecue) Season with a twist of ground black pepper. Serve with warm protein peanut satay sauce, wedges of lime (the sharpness contrasts beautifully with the creaminess and spicy marinade) and salad   SO MAN www.sobody.co.uk Hello!
