Sissy Satay Sauce

This reminds me of living in the Middle East and the most lovely couple that we used to spend time with.  She was Indonesian and he was English.  Sissy was a non practicing Muslim, however she rarely drank.  On the rare occasion that Sissy did have a drink, she was the life of the party often seen dancing on tables.  Her husband loved a drink and together they entertained often.  Sissy would cook with her housemaid all day long and present the most amazing array of food.
One of my favourite Sissy dishes was her satay sauce served with chicken skewers.  I was never smart enough to get the recipe off her, and need to see if I can ask her for it one of these days.  In the meantime here is a Sissy inspired Satay Sauce for all occasions.

Sissy inspired Satay Sauce

1 cup (250 ml) coconut cream

1 Tablespoon Thai red Curry Paste

1 cup (150gr) unsalted peanuts rough chopped

1 Tablespoon of either brown or palm sugar

1 Tablespoon Tamarind Paste

Heat half of the coconut cream on medium heat for 7-10 minutes, until the cream has reduced by more than half and has the consistency of custard.

Reduce heat a little and add the curry paste, cook off for about 2 minutes to allow the paste flavours to infuse.

Add the rest of the ingredients, including the remaining coconut cream and continue cooking and stirring for 2-3 minutes.

Serve with lamb, chicken or whatever you like.
