[ RECIPE ] Lamb Satay

Apologies for not publishing much over the past week but I’ve not been all that well (and no, it wasn’t something I ate!). I guess no matter how healthy and fit you try to be, sometimes we all come down with something.

Anyway I’m feeling much better this week and have already been to the gym 4 out of the last 5 days as I try to make up for lost ground!

When I wasn’t training I decided to cook these delicious Lamb Chops with Satay Sauce, or for short, Lamb Satay. The sauce is so flavoursome and goes just as well with chicken or beef, and the dish as a whole is simple to prepare and ready in no time. 

Serves 2  |  Prep 5 Mins  |  Cooking Time 20 Minutes

1 teaspoon Dark Brown Soft Sugar
1/2 Lime (juice squeezed)
1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
4 Lamb Chops

Satay Sauce
1 Garlic Clove (crushed)
2cm Fresh Root Ginger (finely sliced)
1 Green Chilli (deseeded & finely sliced)
2 teaspoons Dark Brown Soft Sugar
150ml Coconut Milk
3 tablespoons Crunchy Peanut Butter
1/2 Lime (juice squeezed)
2 tablespoons Light Soy Sauce

 

In a large enough bowl, add the sugar, lime juice and soy sauce, along with the lamb chops. Coat the lamb chops well with the ingredients and set aside.

Place a heavy-based small saucepan onto a medium-low heat. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli and sugar and cook for 4-5 minutes until the sugar begins to dissolve.

Add the coconut milk and peanut butter. Gently simmer for 3-4 minutes, then add the soy sauce and lime juice.

Leave in the pan but remove from the heat, stir occasionally.

Pre-heat the grill to 180C and then add the lamb chops. Cook for 8 minutes in total, turning at the halfway point. When the time is up, remove the lamb cutlets and leave to rest for a few minutes.

Serve the lamb chops with a few spoonfuls of the satay sauce, along with some new potatoes or rice.
