What’s Satay Without the Mutton?

The Ingredients

Before we dive in, let’s gather the essentials. Don’t worry; this list won’t send you hunting through exotic stores or foraging in a mystical spice forest:

• 500g mutton  from FreshToHome (cut into bite-sized chunks)
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter (yes, peanut butter—you’ll thank me later)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey (or brown sugar for a caramelized zing)
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes (or more if you’re feeling spicy!)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons coconut milk
• Juice of half a lime
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes to avoid BBQ disasters)

The Process to Make Mutton Satay

Step 1: The Marinade Magic

Let’s face it, the real star here is the marinade. Toss the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, curry powder, turmeric, chili flakes, garlic, ginger, coconut milk, lime juice, salt, and pepper into a bowl. Mix it like you mean it—smooth, creamy, and fragrant is the goal.

Pro Tip: Taste your marinade! Adjust the salt or sweetness—it’s your party, and your satay should reflect your personality.

Step 2: Marry the Mutton

Dump the mutton chunks into this glorious marinade. Massage it in (yes, show that mutton some love). Let it soak in the flavors for at least 2 hours in the fridge, though overnight works best.

Trust me, patience is a virtue here. The longer the soak, the better the mutton satay.

Step 3: The Skewering Spectacle

Take your marinated mutton and thread them onto the soaked skewers. Make sure the pieces aren’t squished too tight—they need their space to cook evenly (and let’s be real, nobody likes clingy food).

Step 4: Grill

Fire up the grill or preheat your oven’s broiler. Brush the skewers with a little oil and lay them on the grill. Turn occasionally, letting each side get that beautiful charred, smoky finish. It should take about 10–15 minutes, but don’t wander off to Instagram—keep an eye on them!

Step 5: Serve and Savor

Once done, serve these beauties with a side of peanut dipping sauce, cucumber slices, and maybe some fragrant jasmine rice if you’re feeling fancy.
