  • ½ sweet potato 
  • 6 baby courgettes 
  • ¼ cup Olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 inch stalk of lemongrass
  • 1 fresh kaffir lime leaf

  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha, or more, to taste
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger

METHOD

  • Boil the sweet potato in a pot of salted water for exactly 5 minutes. Remove and immediately run under cold water for 1 minute to prevent further cooking. 
  • Cut the onions, capsicum, sweet potato, and baby courgettes into 1 inch cubes. 
  • In a blender, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, lemongrass stalk, kaffir lime leaf, garlic, ginger, coriander powder, and turmeric powder and blitz until combined and forms a paste. Add the marinade to the vegetables and mix until well combined. 
  • In a blender, combine the peanut butter, light soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, Sriracha, grated ginger, and a splash of water to make the satay dipping sauce. Blend until well combined and smooth.
  • Skewer the vegetables leaving about 2 inches of space towards the rounded end of the skewer. 
  • Grill the skewers on a barbeque or griddle for approximately 10 minutes or until cooked and lightly charred. After removing the skewers off the heat, immediately brush with the satay sauce. 
  • Serve the skewers with lemon wedges and the satay sauce on the side.
