Indonesian Tamarind chicken satay with peanut sauce
For a truly authentic, Asian flavour experience take the time for this very elaborate recipe. Seven ingredients in the marinade and eleven in the dipping sauce may seem intimidating, but if you read through the recipe, and break it down, it’s far from complicated. I love to shop at Asian markets, however conventional grocery stores now carry an extensive Asian selection, so shopping for these ingredients is not difficult. A rendition from the cookbook Big Bowl, this is simply the best satay and peanut sauce I have ever had.
