Lamb Satay

Satay are skewers of meat marinated in spices and grilled over charcoal but I would be grilling mine in the oven, the only difference is, its not going to have that char taste. You can make satay with chicken, pork, beef or lamb.

Ingredients

450g lamb
Bell peppers, cored and roughly chopped

1 tsp grated ginger

1 stalk lemon grass, finely chopped (optional)

3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

1 tbsp medium curry paste

1 tsp ground turmeric

1 cup coconut milk powder or 4 tbsp coconut cream

2tbsp sesame oil

2 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp granulated sugar

1 tbsp water

oil for cooking

Procedures

Turn on the grill to the highest 

Cut the lamb thinly, put in a medium bowl and set aside. In a small bowl, add all the ingredients and then mix all together.

Pour over the lamb, massage in and leave to marinate over night or maximun of 2 hours if you wish to cook same day.

Thread the meat and peppers on to the skewers. Brush with oil, put on a baking pan, in the oven and grill for 45mins - an hour on a reduced heat (medium grill heat). Turn them occasionally.

Serve with any vegetable of your choice or even with sauce.

Berry and Citrus Blend

OK, I know this is not on the list of lined up recipes to come, but the thing is, I decided to blog the easy ones before I start with the long long ones...hahahahaha! Not easy at all to do this things but am happy doing it anyways. This is what I love to do ~ sharing my recipes with lovely friends like you, yes you!!

Ingredients

Raspberries (I used frozen)

Strawberries (Fresh ~ washed, sliced and remember to set some aside for decor)

Blueberries (Fresh ~ set some aside)

Kiwi (peeled and cut as in picture ans set some aside)

2 Limes (juiced)

1/3 cup of natural yogurt

Procedures

****I didn't really measure the amount of fruits used but you can never go wrong with this. If you want to taste more strawberries, add more...same goes if you want any particular taste to be strong.****

Add all the ingredients into a blender or food processor, blend together and there's your have your smoothie.

Pour into your individual glasses and top with the fruits you left out!

Enjoy
