1 inch stalk of lemongrass
1 fresh kaffir lime leaf

3 tbsp crunchy or creamy nut butter – peanut or almond
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp brown sugar

Directions
- Boil the sweet potato in a pot of salted water for exactly 5 minutes. Remove and immediately run under cold water for 1 minute to prevent further cooking.
- Cut the onions, capsicum, sweet potato, and baby courgettes into 1 inch cubes.
- In a blender, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, lemongrass stalk, kaffir lime leaf, garlic, ginger, coriander powder, and turmeric powder and blitz until combined and forms a paste. Add the marinade to the vegetables and mix until well combined.
- In a blender, combine the peanut butter, light soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, Sriracha, grated ginger, and a splash of water to make the satay dipping sauce. Blend until well combined and smooth.
- Skewer the vegetables leaving about 2 inches of space towards the rounded end of the skewer.
- Grill the skewers on a barbeque or griddle for approximately 10 minutes or until cooked and lightly charred. After removing the skewers off the heat, immediately brush with the satay sauce.
- Serve the skewers with lemon wedges and the satay sauce on the side.
