Peanut Dressing

Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 red chili pepper
• 2 tbsp peanut oil
• 30 g chopped unsalted peanuts
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 50 g peanut butter
• 1 Lime (juice)
• Salt
• 30 g fresh pineapple
• 1 Spring onion
• 1 tsp Sambal oelek

Instructions

1. 1.

   Peel the garlic, wash the chili pepper, halve it, remove seeds and finely chop both. Heat oil in a pot and sauté garlic until translucent. Add chili and peanuts, cook briefly, then pour in coconut milk. Stir in peanut butter and let sauce simmer for about 7 minutes over medium heat. Season with salt and 1-2 tbsp lime juice.

2. 2.

   For the peanut‑pineapple version, peel fresh pineapple, cut off core, slice into rings, then dice into ~1 cm cubes. Wash spring onion, trim, and slice into thin diagonal ribbons. Add both to the base sauce.

3. 3.

   For the peanut‑sambal variation, add 1 tsp sambal oelek (adjust to taste) to the base sauce.

4. 4.

   Serve sauces with satay skewers or as a dip for fresh vegetables.
