Thai-Style Peanut Sauce - {Nam Jim Satay} |
4 ounces roasted unsalted peanuts 3 garlic cloves - (to 4) -- chopped 1 ounce chopped onion 1 tablespoon red or massaman curry paste -- (to 2 tbspns) 1 teaspoon fish sauce 8 tablespoons coconut milk 4 teaspoons lime juice - (to 6 tspns) -- to taste 2 teaspoons palm sugar - (to 3 tspns) |
First grind or crush the peanuts to a fairly fine powder. Then combine them with the remaining ingredients (except the lime juice), to form a smooth sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a little chicken stock. Now add the lime juice, tasting as you progress to check the balance of flavors is correct. |
