Ingredients

4 bamboo skewers

250 g crunchy peanut butter

½ tbsp ground turmeric

1 tbsp ground coriander

1 tsp garlic powder

1 cm cube ginger

½ stick lemongrass

1 red finger chilli

2 tbsp soft light brown sugar

150 ml coconut milk

2 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 lime

8 chicken thighs

4 sprigs coriander

1 red finger chilli

1 lime

Method

Soak bamboo skewers in a tray of water.
Add the peanut butter, dry spices, garlic powder, ginger, lemongrass, chilli, sugar, coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce and lime juice to the Chopper attachment of a TriBlade System Hand Blender and blitz to a rough paste. Add water until it becomes a saucy consistency.
Transfer 2 tbsp of the peanut sauce to another bowl. Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs, cut them into quarters and toss in the 2 tbsp of peanut sauce.
Thread the chicken onto the bamboo skewers. Preheat the grill to high. Place the chicken skewers onto a rack over an oven tray lined with foil. Grill the skewers for 3-5 minutes, until they begin to blacken, before turning and repeating until cooked through.
Serve the chicken on a board with a ramekin of the peanut sauce. Finely chop the coriander, slice the chilli and scatter everything over the board. Cut the lime into quarters and place them around the board. Serves 4 as a starter
