INDONESIAN EGGPLANT WITH PEANUT SAUCE



Indonesian Eggplant With Peanut Sauce image

In the classic Indonesian dish, called Petjel Terong, the eggplant is usually deep-fried. In this healthier version, the eggplant is baked in the oven with a small amount of olive oil. The creaminess of the coconut milk and the peanut butter are heavenly. As a side dish, this serves 4, but will serve 3 as a main dish. From Nut Butter Universe by Robin Robertson.

TOFU-VEGETABLE SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE



Tofu-Vegetable Satay With Peanut Sauce image

Caramelized pineapple, tofu and vegetables take center stage in these vegan satay, which are inspired by Indonesian charcoal-grilled skewers. Here, the smoky satay are glazed with sweet and sticky kecap manis, a fermented sweet soy sauce (see Tip), which also flavors the peanut sauce along with garlic, shallots and chile. The sauce is meant to be generously poured over the satay to serve, but any leftovers will last for one week in the refrigerator. The sauce thickens over time, so loosen it with extra water as needed. Serve the satay and peanut sauce with steamed rice or noodles, and a side of stir-fried greens or roast potatoes.

Time 45m

Yield 24 skewers (4 to 6 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (14-ounce) package firm tofu, drained
5 large scallions
1 large eggplant (about 1 pound), cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 large (4-pound) pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
24 (8-inch) bamboo skewers, soaked overnight (or at least 30 minutes)
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as canola
3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola
2 medium shallots, peeled and sliced
4 long, red, medium-spicy chiles (such as serrano, cayenne or finger chiles), sliced and seeds removed, if you prefer less heat
6 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
2/3 cup/150 grams crunchy peanut butter, natural or conventional
10 tablespoons kecap manis (see Tip)

Steps:

  • Prepare the satay: Place the tofu in a folded dish towel and gently press to remove excess liquid. Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes.
  • Cut the thicker white and light green stalks of the scallions into 1-inch pieces. Thinly slice the thinner, dark green scallion stalks on the diagonal and reserve for the garnish.
  • Make the peanut sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add shallots, chiles and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor or blender. Add the peanut butter, 5 tablespoons kecap manis and ⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon water, and blend until almost smooth. (It makes about 1 ½ cups.) Transfer sauce to a small bowl. (If the sauce thickens, add more water by the tablespoon until it is pourable.)
  • Assemble the satay: Place a cube of eggplant onto a bamboo skewer, followed by a piece of pineapple, bell pepper, scallion, tofu and another piece of eggplant. Repeat with the remaining skewers.
  • Heat the grill or a griddle pan over high. Use a pastry brush to dab the 1/4 cup oil all over the skewers. Once hot, line the skewers on the grill or griddle pan, working in batches as needed. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 2 to 3 minutes with a metal spatula or tongs, until the eggplant is cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  • Prepare the glaze: Mix 4 tablespoons kecap manis with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Brush the glaze all over the skewers.
  • Pool about 1 cup peanut sauce onto a large serving plate, spreading it close to the edges of the plate. Lay the cooked skewers on top, then spoon the remaining peanut sauce on top. Drizzle lightly with 1 tablespoon of kecap manis, and garnish with the sliced scallions.

INDONESIAN-STYLE GRILLED EGGPLANT WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE WHITE

Categories     Vegetarian     Backyard BBQ     Peanut     Eggplant     Hot Pepper     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Vegan     Boil     Gourmet     Atlanta     Georgia

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 eggplant (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 garlic clove, minced
1 shallot, minced
a 2-inch-long fresh hot red chili, chopped fine (wear rubber gloves), or 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons Oriental sesame oil
1/4 cup ground roasted peanuts
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
vegetable oil for brushing the eggplant

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the eggplant lightly with salt, let it drain in a colander for 1 hour, and pat it dry. In a small saucepan cook the garlic, the shallot, and the chili in the sesame oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, add the peanuts, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce, the sugar, the lemon juice, and 1 cup water, boil the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is thickened slightly, and add salt and pepper to taste. Brush the eggplant, patted dry, with the vegetable oil and grill it on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning it, for 7 to 8 minutes, or until it is just cooked. Transfer the eggplant to a serving plate and spoon the peanut sauce over it.

Tips:

  • To choose the best eggplant for grilling, look for ones that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants that are soft or have bruises or cuts.
  • Before grilling, slice the eggplant into thick slabs to ensure even cooking. You can also score the eggplant flesh to help the marinade penetrate deeper.
  • To make the marinade, use a combination of olive oil, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and salt. You can adjust the amount of each spice to suit your taste preferences.
  • Marinate the eggplant for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the eggplant and make it more flavorful.
  • When grilling the eggplant, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the eggplant for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is tender and slightly charred.
  • For the spicy peanut sauce, use a combination of roasted peanuts, garlic, ginger, red chili peppers, lime juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar. You can adjust the amount of chili peppers to suit your spice tolerance.
  • Serve the grilled eggplant with the spicy peanut sauce, steamed rice, and a side of vegetables.

Conclusion:

Indonesian-style grilled eggplant with spicy peanut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. The eggplant is marinated in a flavorful mixture of spices and then grilled until tender and slightly charred. The spicy peanut sauce is the perfect complement to the grilled eggplant, with its creamy texture and spicy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
