sound lovely Pawpurrs - need to try that one next weekend I think

If you want a really quick way of making peanut sauce then just put in about 1/2 jar of crunchy peanut butter and heat, then add cream until you get the consistency you want (need to do this fairly quickly or it becomes gluey again) and add a couple of tbsp of sweet chilli sauce, then add juice of half a lemon and chilli powder if you want it a bit spicier,

One tip for wooden skewers is to wet them before putting the meat on, this stops them burning!!!!

I've been experimenting a bit with pasta sauces and stir-fry sauces so I can my make my own and cut out nasty additives. My housemate and I have been trying to make a satay sauce but we haven't been very successful thus far! Our next attempt is going to be a bit of peanut butter and some coconut milk

But before we try that, I thought I'd post here and see if anyone had a good recipe....
