Satay ‘Chicken’ Skewers

Difficulty: Easy

Makes about 14 skewers

Some vegetarians and vegans are a bit freaked out by mock meat. I’m not. Some meat-eaters are freaked out by mock meat. My friends aren’t. I had them around recently to enjoy a vegan feast and these magical sticks went down a real treat. They’re great to serve with rice and/or salad for a meal or as finger food for a party.

Ingredients

• 14 wooden skewers
• One bag soy nuggets or mock chicken, thawed
• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1/4 cup granulated nuts
• 1 tablespoon chilli flakes

Method

1. Soak the skewers in warm water for half an hour.
2. Preheat oven to 200°C and grease a baking tray.
3. Thread 4 to 5 pieces of mock chicken onto each skewer and lay on the baking tray.
4. Spray with oil and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the mock meat begins to brown.
5. While the skewers are cooking, place the peanut butter in a bowl and slowly pour in the coconut milk. You may want to add a little more or less to get the consistency you desire.
6. Stir in the chilli flakes and nuts (save a few nuts for serving).
7. Heat either in the microwave or on the stove top until hot.
8. Remove the skewers from the oven and place on a serving tray.
9. Pour the satay sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining nuts.
10. Serve and enjoy!
