We all love satay recipes - people LOVE our chicken and beef satay recipes so we thought we'd do a pork one too - and this recipe for sticky peanut butter pork skewers is PERFECT for the barbecue!
Looking for a side to go with this? Make a big batch of our lemon, garlic and oregano potatoes!
We know the syn value might shock you a bit but trust us - this one is definitely worth it! And, it's only 4 syns a skewer (less if you reduce it a bit) - have one of these with loads of other BBQ stuff and you'll still have plenty of syns left. They're there to be used!
Ingredients
- 750g pork fillet, cut into chunks
- 4 garlic cloves
- ½ red onion
- 1 red chilli
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- zest of 1 lime
- 60ml lime juice
- 200g crunchy reduced fat peanut butter (40 syns)
- thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely grated
Instructions
- cut the pork into skewer-size chunks
- next, chuck everything else into a food processor and blend until nearly smooth (a few small chunks is fine) - be prepared to add a little water to thin it out if it's too thick
- slop the mixture into a bowl and add the pork chunks, and give a really good mix
- cover with clingfilm and leave to marinade for at least 30 minutes
- skewer the pork chunks - we reckon you should get about 10, especially if you chuck some peppers on the skewers too
- cook over the barbecue for a few minutes each side, or under a hot grill
Notes
- look - we know that 40 syns is a lot BUT remember that this makes LOADS - and it's totally worth it! It's a PROPER satay that's sticky AND crunchy!
- you can reduce the syns if you like by adding some veg and making it go further, or use less peanut butter (it won't be as nice though)
- we cooked these on the barbecue but you can do them under a hot grill too
- if you're using wooden skewers remember to soak them first to stop them burning. We always prefer metal skewers as they help to cook the meat better - we used these ones from Amazon
- make easy work of the garlic with one of these Microplane graters!
