Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup Coconut milk, light
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
Instructions
Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth and trim the stems.
In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until it forms a smooth consistency.
Slowly whisk in the light coconut milk to the peanut mixture until fully incorporated. Add the ground cumin and turmeric powder, and stir to combine.
Place the mushrooms in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the olive oil on the grill surface to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers, leaving a little space between each mushroom to ensure even cooking.
Grill the mushroom skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and red chili flakes to taste before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or an appetizer. The satay mushrooms pair well with a bowl of brown rice or a fresh salad.
