PORK SATAY WITH THAI SPICES AND PEANUT SAUCE



Pork Satay With Thai Spices and Peanut Sauce image

Throughout Southeast Asia, little skewers of marinated meat, grilled over coals, are sold as street snacks. Sweetly fragrant with coconut milk and spices, they are perfect for barbecue parties served with steamed rice, or on their own with drinks, whether grilled indoors or out. You may use pork loin or tenderloin, but marbled sirloin or shoulder is more succulent.

Categories     finger foods, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 12 small skewers

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 1/2 pounds pork loin, tenderloin or shoulder, sliced into thin rectangles (1/4 inch x 1 inch x 2 inches; you should have about 24 pieces)
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
3 tablespoons chopped lemongrass
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and ground
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut milk
Cilantro and basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
1 pound Persian or Japanese cucumbers, peeled, halved and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 small shallots thinly sliced, about 1/4 cup
2 fresh Thai or serrano chiles, sliced into rounds
1 cup dry roasted peanuts, unsalted
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice, more to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup coconut milk

Steps:

  • Prepare the skewers: Put pork in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together shallot, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, fish sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and coconut milk, and pour over meat. Toss with your hands to coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Meanwhile, soak 12 bamboo skewers in water.
  • Prepare the cucumbers: Put cucumbers in a mixing bowl and season with salt. Add lime juice, sugar, shallots and chiles and toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Check seasoning, then transfer to a serving dish.
  • Prepare the peanut sauce: Pulse the peanuts briefly in a food processor just until finely ground. Add the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, cayenne and coconut milk, and process until well puréed. Transfer to a bowl, then taste and adjust seasoning. Thin a bit with lime juice or water as desired.
  • Thread 2 slices of pork onto each bamboo skewer, keeping the meat as flat as possible. Grill over hot coals, under the broiler or on a stovetop grill pan for 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer to a platter and garnish with cilantro and basil leaves. Serve with cucumber relish and peanut sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter: The quality of the peanut butter you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the curry. Look for a natural peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added ingredients.
  • Toast the spices: Toasting the spices before adding them to the curry will help to release their flavor and aroma. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use a good quality pork: Pork shoulder is a great option for this curry, as it is a tough cut of meat that will become tender when cooked slowly. You can also use pork loin or tenderloin, but these cuts will cook more quickly.
  • Cook the pork until it is tender: The pork should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This will take about 1-1/2 to 2 hours in a slow cooker or Dutch oven.
  • Serve the curry with rice or noodles: Peanut butter pork curry is traditionally served with rice, but it can also be served with noodles or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter pork curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of peanut butter, spices, and pork create a flavorful and satisfying curry that is sure to please everyone at the table.
