RECIPE: Ginger Chicken Satay Skewers

This quick and easy midweek meal takes succulent chicken coated in a crunchy peanut marinade with sticky Opies Stem Ginger. Oven bake or just as good grilled on a barbecue.

Makes: 4
Prep time: 15 minutes   Cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp Crunchy Peanut Butter
• 2 balls of Opies Stem Ginger, chopped and reserved syrup
• 1 tsp minced garlic in oil
• ½ tsp minced chilli in oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 lime
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 400g chicken breast, cut into chunks
• Handful of fresh coriander leaves

Method:

1. In a large bowl mix together peanut butter, Opies Stem Ginger, garlic, chilli, soy sauce, the juice of ½ lime and olive oil.
2. Add the chicken pieces and coat each piece well. Place in the fridge for ½ hour to marinade.
3. Thread pieces of chicken evenly onto either wooden or metal skewers.
4. Grill or barbecue on a medium heat, turning frequently to ensure they don’t burn until the meat is thoroughly cooked.
5. Drizzle over some reserved syrup and serve with wedges of lime and scattered coriander leaves.

Hints and Tips: This marinade would work well for pork, tofu or vegetables too. Don’t forget to soak the wooden skewers to stop them charring.
