Satay skewers

Picture
This delicious recipe serves 6. Vegan, Gluten free options, Nut Free! You can use tofu, eggplant, Portobello mushrooms etc, if desired. Super Simple Satay Sunbutter Sauce Makes approx. 1 cup. Great over greens or noodle salad or with grilled meats/seafood/veggies etc. Serve with a veggie stir-fry.

Ingredients
  • 2 x 250g pkgs. Noble Bean or Henry’s Tempeh, Available at Health food stores
Steam in broth or water 10 minutes, drain; cut into 2 in cubes. (Optional- you can skip this step if desired). Set aside, prepare marinade.
Metal or Wooden skewers (soak in water 30 minutes before using)

Marinade:
  • 2 tbsp tamari sauce gluten free version or Coconut aminos for a soy free option
  • ½ - 1 tsp spicy Chili Sauce or dried peppers
  • 2 tbsp. organic toasted sesame oil
  • 2 – 3 tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 2 tsp garlic, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. raw honey, organic cane sugar or Lakanto
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp ginger root, grated
Method:
  1. Combine tamari, Chili sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic, sugar cumin, coriander, turmeric and ginger in a bowl medium size bowl.  Add Tempeh and toss to coat each cube well. Let marinate for 1 hour at room temp or overnight in the fridge for best results.
  2. Thread on skewers and bake at 350F for 25 – 30 minutes. Baste with marinade.

Vegan/Gluten free option
  • 1/2 cup Natural organic sunbutter www.sunbutter.com
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger – minced
  • 2 tsp garlic – minced
  • 3 tbsp. tamari (gluten free) or Coconut Secret Raw coconut Aminos
  • 2 tsp ground cumin, or more to taste
  • Fresh or Dried Chili peppers or cayenne pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 2 – 3 tbsp raw honey, to desired sweetness, (less if using sweetened Sunbutter)
  • ½ - ¾ cup water or broth, as needed to create desired consistency

  1. Combine all ingredients but salt and pepper in a food processor, or powerful blender. (A glass jar with a tight fitting lid will work as well, as long as you are ready to work to emulsify the sauce).
  2. Blend until smooth (scraping down the sides of processor). Adjust seasonings and thickness.
  3. Serve as a dip with kebobs or cutlets, or thin with additional coconut milk or water and use as a salad dressing or pour over your favorite noodles sautéed with your favorite veggies.

To assemble your meal:
  • Prepare a veggie stir-fry of seasonal veggies such as pan-grilled bell peppers, carrots, onions, broccoli, snow peas etc. and garlic, topped with sesame seeds or chopped sunflower seeds. Season to taste w/ sea salt.
  • If desired, quinoa or black rice cooked with a little turmeric goes really well with this.  Stir fresh cilantro into the quinoa or rice just before serving along side of the veggies and kebobs.

Notes:
Ginger is a great digestive aid and helpful for overcoming nausea. This warming root has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and is know to provide aphrodisiac powers.
