Sweet Chilli Coconut Skewers are a delightful fusion of flavors, combining the creamy richness of coconut milk with the subtle heat of chili and the aromatic hints of cinnamon and cardamom. This recipe is perfect for a quick yet exotic meal that will impress your family and friends.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, brown sugar, salsa sauce, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, minced garlic, and fish sauce. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Place the beef cubes into the bowl with the marinade. Ensure each piece is well-coated with the mixture.
- Cover the bowl with cling film or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For the best results, marinate overnight to allow the flavors to infuse deeply into the beef.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
- Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, ensuring an even distribution and leaving a bit of space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the beef skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure all sides are evenly browned and the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- While the skewers are grilling, roughly chop the peanuts and set them aside.
- Shred the coconut meat if not already shredded.
- Once the skewers are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter.
- Sprinkle the chopped peanuts, shredded coconut meat, and chopped coriander leaves over the top of the skewers for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve your Sweet Chilli Coconut Skewers hot, ideally with a side of steamed rice, fresh salad, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy the rich and exotic flavors that make this dish a standout!
Tips:
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Marinate the beef for at least an hour to ensure the flavors are well absorbed.
- Cut the beef into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Toast the peanuts slightly for enhanced flavor before chopping.
- Serve with a side of jasmine rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
With the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory notes, these Sweet Chilli Coconut Skewers are sure to become a favorite. Serve them hot off the grill and enjoy a taste of tropical paradise in every bite!
