Confession: Sometimes I just don’t have fresh coriander in the house.
I know, its such a foodie fail. But, like most people, I just don’t. Therefore, sometimes I have to come up with things that taste delicious from stuff I find in the house and no fancy ingredients. This here satay is one of them. Sure it’s not like the legitimate stuff from your local Thai takeout, but it’ll do in a pinch, and as a bonus, it’s vegan.
Lazy Satay Curry
Serves 4
Ingredients:
oil
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
A few handfuls of whatever vegetables you have (I used capsicum,carrot, mushrooms and beans)
1 tablespoon whatever curry paste you have on hand
1 400g can coconut milk
1/2 cup veggie stock
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon sambal oelek or any other chili you might have
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
juice of 1 lime
Directions:
1. Saute the onion in the oil for a few minutes, then add the curry paste. Cook 1 minute.
2. Add everything else and simmer 15-20 minutes.
And there you have it. A pantry dish for lazy nights.

July 29, 2012 at 8:08 pmThis was so easy and sooooooo yummy! I only had massaman curry in the cupboard, which went beautifully with the peanut butter. I had no limes, so left that out, and threw in sweet potato, cauliflower, carrot, beans and little desiree potatoes, and served it up with jasmine rice 🙂 Thanks for a fabulous, easy, tasty and vegan recipe – we will definitely be making this often!

September 25, 2012 at 3:21 amThanks for the recipe, very yummy! I also made a non-spicey version for the kids (2 and 5 yrs). For them I just added a tiny bit of conventional curry powder instead of Thai curry paste & chilli, chopped the veggies much smaller and they absolutely wolfed it down! 🙂

July 14, 2016 at 6:06 amJust popping by to say I’ve been googling & making this recipe for YEARS now, it’s a firm favourite with family and friends and I’ve changed up the additions ie different veg, sometimes quorn, sometimes chicken (if it’s for the meat eaters) and it always turns out a little bit differently but always perfect. Thank you, and please keep it on the blog forever!

July 29, 2016 at 1:57 pmI cannot tell you how much this has made my day! I always cringe when I think of people finding this recipe – it’s a great recipe but the photo is so bad! I wrote it so long ago haha. So it’s awesome to hear that you’ve been making it and loving it all this time. Bless you for coming all this way to tell me! I’ve got the biggest grin!
