Bavarian-style Satay

Ingredients

While the original Indonesian satay is typically marinated in a blend of spices and served with peanut sauce, our Bavarian-style satay focuses on the grilling technique and incorporates a creamy mustard sauce for a unique twist. The flavors are adapted to suit the Bavarian palate, combining the smokiness of grilled meat with the tanginess of mustard. We alse have the original recipe for Satay, so you can check it out.
