TEMPEH SATAY SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

For the satay skewers:
• 200 g plain tempeh
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
• 1 tsp curry powder
• ½ tsp turmeric
• 1 tbsp neutral oil

For the peanut sauce:
• 3 tbsp peanut butter
• 150 ml coconut milk
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
• 1 tsp lime juice
• 1 small clove of garlic, finely chopped
• Optional: a little chili to taste

To serve:

1. Prepare the tempeh: Cut the tempeh into long strips and thread them onto wooden skewers.
2. Make the marinade: Mix together the soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, maple syrup, curry powder, turmeric, and oil. Brush the marinade onto the skewers and let them marinate for at least 20 minutes.
3. Prepare the peanut sauce: Combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and garlic in a small saucepan and heat over low heat. Add a little water if needed until the sauce is creamy.
4. Grilling: Grill the tempeh skewers on the grill or in a grill pan on all sides for about 8–10 minutes, until they develop nice roasted flavors. Brush with the remaining marinade occasionally.
5. Serving: Serve the satay skewers with peanut sauce and garnish with cilantro, lime wedges, and chopped peanuts.
