Thai Almond Satay Tofu Skewers
Thai Almond Satay Tofu Skewers
Tofu will provide you with a good dose of non-haem iron. This important mineral is needed for strengthening the immune system. We need good levels of iron to produce white blood cells and antibodies to protect us from viruses and bacteria and other illness-causing microbes. People with low iron levels often have weakened immune function and are more vulnerable to catching colds and flu and other infections.

- 1 tsp tamari or coconut aminos
- Juice ½ lime
- Handful almonds, roughly chopped

Method
- Cut tofu through the middle and press it between paper towels to remove any excess liquid. Cut tofu into 6 long strips and then thread them onto the skewers
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add all sauce ingredients and stir until well combined and creamy. If you want your sauce thinner, add more coconut milk.
- Brush each tofu skewer with satay sauce. Cook your skewers a few mins each side on a griller or barbecue until golden brown.
