Nouvelle Satay

Ingredients

While the original Indonesian Satay is typically served on skewers with a peanut sauce, our Nouvelle Satay takes a departure from tradition. Instead, we deconstruct the dish, presenting each element separately on the plate. This allows for a more visually appealing and sophisticated presentation, while still capturing the essence of Satay. We alse have the original recipe for Satay, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Chicken breast — Ensure the chicken breast is thinly sliced to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
• Peanuts — Use roasted peanuts for a richer flavor in the peanut sauce.

Tips & Tricks

• For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh.
• Add a touch of chili flakes to the peanut sauce for a spicy kick.
• Serve the Nouvelle Satay with a side of fresh cucumber and tomato salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Experiment with different meats such as beef or pork for a variation in flavors.
• If grilling is not an option, you can also cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat.

Serving advice

Serve the Nouvelle Satay as an appetizer or as part of a main course. Plate the chicken slices elegantly and drizzle the peanut sauce artistically over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color.

Presentation advice

Create a visually stunning plate by arranging the chicken slices in a circular pattern. Drizzle the peanut sauce in a zigzag pattern across the plate. Garnish with a sprig of fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for an added touch of elegance.
