Who says marinade recipes need to be complicated? This 3 ingredient wonder makes for an easy satay sauce that's nice as marinade for chicken kebabs or breasts, or as a dipping sauce for parties. Satay sauce can be used for marinating meat, but also works well in stir frys or other dishes.
Satay sauce - 3 ingredients
- 1/4 cup of crunchy peanut butter
- 1 tin of coconut milk / cream
- 1/2 an onion, chopped very fine
Start by sauteeing the onions on a non-stick pan. I try to avoid adding additional oil as the peanut butter has plenty of oil. Add the peanut butter and coat the onions for a minute or so.
Then, slowly add the coconut milk to the pan, stirring constantly. The sauce will thicken up, and after a few minutes you are all done.
The sauce will thicken as it cools, so you can get away with a reasonably runny mixture, especially when you are making a dipping sauce.
