CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE



Chicken Skewers With Peanut Sauce image

That peanut butter is relegated to the sandwich while sesame butter (tahini) is seen as an exotic food item is one of the wonderfully preposterous anomalies of American cooking. In the rest of the world, especially Asia, peanuts are special, used not only as a garnish but as a main ingredient in sauces. One such sauce incorporates coconut milk and classic Thai seasonings: curry paste or powder, nam pla, lime and cilantro. The coconut milk and peanuts make the mixture too powerful-tasting for most fish and too heavy for most meat. It is perfect, however, when teamed with chicken on the grill, especially boneless thighs.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup natural peanut butter, preferably chunky
1 tablespoon curry paste or curry powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh or canned coconut milk, approximately
1 tablespoon nam pla or soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Start charcoal or gas grill or heat broiler; fire should be moderately hot, and rack should be at least 4 inches from heat. If using wood skewers, soak them in water.
  • Put peanut butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; add curry paste or powder, salt and enough coconut milk to achieve a creamy but quite thick consistency. Cook over low heat, whisking, until smooth; do not boil. Cool a bit, then stir in nam pla and lime juice.
  • Marinate chicken in this mixture for 5 minutes to an hour. Skewer chicken chunks, then grill or broil slowly, until nicely browned and cooked through, 10 minutes or longer. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro and accompanied by lime.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

¼ cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut butter

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: To save time, marinate the beef and prepare the peanut sauce in advance. You can store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook.
  • Tender Beef: Use flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak for tender and flavorful skewers. Cut the meat against the grain to further enhance tenderness.
  • Balanced Marinade: The marinade combines soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to create a flavorful base for the beef.
  • Perfect Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Don't Overcook: Beef skewers cook quickly, so keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking. Medium-rare is the recommended doneness for tender and juicy skewers.
  • Homemade Peanut Sauce: The creamy and savory peanut sauce is a key component of the dish. Use smooth peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey to create a well-balanced sauce.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the peanutty beef skewers with jasmine rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

These peanutty beef skewers are a delightful combination of flavors and textures, perfect for a summer cookout or a quick weeknight dinner.
