Copper kettle tea room & coffee bar

In shame I must admit it. Dinner was 7-11 Taquitos, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and a "Big Gulp"...

I'd absolve you if I could

Yes, it is rather pretty.

I had some cookies and milk for supper last night and then slept my a baby

Today the plan is to cook some chicken pieces with rice in a satay sauce. I've always been rather partial to chicken satay.

 

[psalms 91]

Never had satay, how do you make the sauce

 

[Ruth]

That penne pasta and sauce looks divine!

Never had satay, how do you make the sauce

Peanuts all crushed up, and spices, and a bit of coconut milk. Those are the basics. You can use peanut butter (crunchy is best).

Here's a recipe

1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 small brown onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 small fresh red chilli, finely chopped
70g (1/4 cup) natural crunchy peanut butter
125ml (1/2 cup) water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (doesn't need to be balsamic, but if you use other then use less)
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar (white sugar will work too but use a little less)

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft and golden. Add garlic and chilli and cook for 1 minute or until aromatic. Remove from heat. Add peanut butter and stir to combine. Place over low heat. Add water, lemon juice, vinegar and sugar. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until sauce thickens.​

That sounds good but where is the coconut milk

It isn't there, but you can add some if you like A tablespoon full or two. Not much.

What we all need is more unhealthy home cooked foods!

There is a chain of Australian Outback restaurants around here... sounds good.
