With all this great weather we've been having, we're sure many of you have dusted off your grills. But if you haven't yet, chef Makini Howell from Plum Bistro has a great recipe idea that might provide some inspiration.

Directions

  • Soak bamboo skewers in cold water for at least 15 minutes.
  • In a Bowl combine all marinade ingredients and mix together set aside a half a cup.
  • Pour remaining marinade into a bowl covering seitan. Let chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk all sauce ingredients until smooth and well combined.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove seitan from marinade and spear 3 pieces onto each skewer.
  • Grill, flipping once, until seitan is cooked through and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes each side.
  • Sprinkle satay with chopped peanuts and cilantro and serve with peanut sauce.
