WITH SATAY SAUCE AND MAYO (PATATJE OORLOG)

Recipe by Gourmet Vegetarians/Nicola Easterby

INGREDIENTS:

To serve:

• Diced red onion • Best Foods mayonnaise

METHOD:

Satay sauce: Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes or until soft.

Add in garlic, ginger and chilli flakes and cook until fragrant, stirring frequently, for about a minute. Add in peanut butter, coconut milk, kecap manis and coconut sugar and stir to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Fries: In a deep-frying pan, add around 5cm of oil and heat to 165 °C. Once hot, add batches of fries, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until cooked through, around 5-6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, transfer to paper-towel lined bowl and repeat with remaining fries.

Heat oil up to 190 °C and add first batch of fries back into pan. Fry for another few minutes, until golden and crisp. Transfer back to bowl and repeat with remaining fries. Season with salt.
