This is a really easy recipe to make but tastes like it took hours. I use coconut cream in this recipe which the bit that separates out when the can is left on the shelf. It’s high in fat, especially saturated fat which means that coconut should really be eaten in moderation. This is quite controversial because coconut oil has a “health halo”, which means it is lauded for its health benefits. It does contain some beneficial short-chain fatty acids, however there is very little evidence that it is good for us if it eaten often and people who have swapped olive oil for coconut oil have often seen their cholesterol rise to very high levels. By all means eat coconut and its derivatives when making an Indonesian satay, but try not to have it on your cereal every morning, especially if you have high cholesterol.
