Time 25m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces roasted unsalted peanuts
3 -4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 ounce chopped onion
1 -2 tablespoon red curry paste or 1 -2 tablespoon massaman curry paste
1 teaspoon fish sauce
8 tablespoons coconut milk
4 -6 teaspoons lime juice (to taste)
2 -3 teaspoons palm sugar
chicken stock, to thin if necessary

Steps:

  • If you wish use peanut butter rather than fresh peanuts.
  • First grind or crush the peanuts to a fairly fine powder.
  • Then combine them with the remaining ingredients (except the lime juice), to form a smooth sauce.
  • If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a little chicken stock.
  • Now add the lime juice, tasting as you progress to check the balance of flavors is correct.
  • Note use red curry paste with beef or pork satay, massaman (as above) with chicken.
  • If you are doing shrimp satay then use half the quantity of massaman paste.
