Ingredients
- MARINADE
- 2 lemongrass stalks, trimmed and finely chopped
- 15g (7 1/2 scoops of coffee) fresh ginger root, finely chopped
- 2 plump cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1 red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped if you prefer it less spicy
- 1.5 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp agave
- 3 tsp tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil or olive oil
- SATAY SAUCE WITH PEANUTS
- 100g (6 tablespoons) smooth peanut butter
- 140 ml (approx. 1/ 2 cup) coconut milk
- 3/4 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1 /2 tbsp protein powder (optional)
- 2 lime wedges
Method
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for about 20-30 minutes to prevent them from burning while cooking the saté
- Prepare the marinade – finely chop the lemongrass, ginger root, chillies and mix with the crushed garlic in a bowl. Add ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, agave syrup, lime juice, tamari/soy sauce, and canola or olive oil. Alternatively, you can puree this all into a paste in a food processor
- Prepare protein – Cut the tofu into thick slices (or cubes, if you like), about 1.5 cm thick skewer)
- Prepare satay – Place peanut butter, coconut milk, chili flakes, tamari or soy sauce, lime juice, and your protein powder of choice in a small bowl. Heat saucepan over low heat and melt peanut butter and mix all the ingredients to a thick sauce. Pour into a bowl and garnish with 2 slices of fresh red pepper
- Spread the tofu with the satay marinade in the fridge for at least 30 minutes
- Grill the marinated tofu slices for about 4-5 minutes on each side. (Hint: They’re also great for grilling)
- Season with a little ground black pepper. Serve with a tangy protein peanut satay sauce, lime wedges (the spiciness contrasts beautifully with the creamy and tangy marinade) and a salad
