Cashew Satay Sauce

Page Contents: Recipe

Jump to Recipe

The other half made a request for a satay sauce, so I’ve come up with the below recipe.  A quick search of satay sauces revealed lots of different techniques and lots of different ingredients.  This recipe uses a spice paste as a base and cashews instead of peanuts.  I also wanted to come up with something that didn’t require too many special ingredients so this isn’t totally authentic, but I think it comes pretty close.

Cashew Satay Sauce

A variation on a classic South East Asian sauce. This one is made in the Thermomix and uses cashews.
