INGREDIENTS
Thai Chicken Patties
- 500g chicken mince
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1/4 cup coriander, chopped (loosely packed)
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 1/4 tsp iodised sea salt & cracked black pepper
Healthy Peanut Satay Sauce
- 2 tbls crunchy natural peanut butter
- 1 tsp tamari (gluten free soy sauce alternative)
- 1 tsp coconut blossom sugar (I use this as it is slightly lower GI than raw sugar & has a unique subtle caramel/butterscotch flavour that adds depth. Alternative option – use stevia for sugar free alternative)
- 1/4 red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 small red chilli (optional)
- 1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 1/2 lime, juice squeezed
- 1/4 cup water (option – use coconut milk for a thicker/creamier alternative)
- 1 tsp light EVOO or coconut oil for sautéing
METHOD
- Prepare all ingredients for chicken patties and combine well in a bowl.
- Divide into 10 even sized balls (approx 60g each / a little larger than golf ball size), and shape into patties. If preparing ahead of cooking, place in a glass or stainless steel container and into the fridge until ready to cook.
- Once ready to cook – heat a grill pan on medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon EVOO.
- Place patties on the grill and lightly press down. Cover and cook for 3-5 mins until cooked half way and browned. Flip and continuing cooking the other side until cooked through.
- In a small saucepan saute red onion, chilli and ginger in the oil over low heat until well softened and onion is lightly browned.
- Turn off the heat. Add in coconut blossom sugar and a tablespoon water stir until sugar dissolves.
- Remove from the saucepan into a small bowl. Combine with remaining peanut satay ingredients and whisk until combined. If sauce begins to split, add a little more water or coconut milk and continuing whisking until smooth and the right sauce consistency.
