Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Tahini
  • ⅓ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbs kecap manis
  • 2 tsp soy sauce, gluten-free variety if needed
  • Juice of ½ a lime
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • ¼ cup Coriander (cilantro) finely chopped
  • 2 tsp finely chopped shallot
  • 1 large eggplant

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all of the ingredients except the eggplant in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  2. Cut the eggplant into 2 ½ cm (1 inch) cubes) and add the the marinade. Toss to combine and leave for 30 minutes to marinate. Meanwhile soak 8 skewers in water.
  3. Preheat your barbecue to a medium low heat otherwise place a grill pan over a medium low heat on the stove. Thread the eggplant onto the skewers and tap to remove excess marinade.
  4. Brush the barbecue with a little oil and grill for 5 to 7 minutes each side. If you are using a barbecue with a lid (such as the Barbeques Galore Ziegler & Brown brand of BBQs) close the lid to help the grilled eggplant cook all the way through. If you’re going the stovetop route, cover your pan with a large lid.
  5. Remove the kebabs from the grill and brush with a little marinade and serve with remaining marinade and a crunchy salad.

Notes

  • Kecap manis is a sweet Indonesian soy sauce. If you don't have kecap manis replace with 1 tbs regular soy sauce and 1 tsp maple syrup or brown rice syrup.
