INSTRUCTIONS

  • Combine snapper fillet or other firm white fish with prawns and mince very finely in a food processor or with a chopper. Add all other ingredients and mix well. Mould a heaped tablespoonful of this mixture around a wooden skewer or over trimmed stalks of lemon grass and grill over charcoal until golden brown.
  • Helpful hints : It is important to use fresh prawns and fish for this dish, as thawed frozen seafood exudes too much moisture. The brown sugar not only adds a touch of sweetness but helps give the slightly charred exterior typical of Balinese satay.
