Satay sauce

Peanutty, aromatic, warm and delicious. Usually a closely guarded family secret, so my dad is going to be unimpressed I’m posting it here – but I made a judgment call that the world needs it. The perfect accompaniment to grilled chicken but, trust me, you’ll want to pour it straight from the jug into your mouth. (Note: this is frowned upon in a public setting)

• 1 small onion, grated
• 1 tbsp veg oil
• 1 stalk lemongrass, grated
• 1 tin coconut milk
• 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
• 2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
• 1 tbsp soft light brown sugar
• Pinch of chilli flakes
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• Squeeze of lime

1. Cook the onion in veg oil over a low heat until completely soft but not brown
2. Add the lemongrass and stir in for a minute
3. Then add all the rest of the ingredients
4. Stir together thoroughly until completely combined and cook over a low heat for about 10 mins (adding a little bit of water if it gets too thick)
