- Method
Â
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
