Our cauliflower skewers are ideal for a light meal that can be made healthier with a side of rice or salad. The peanut sauce is so simple but delicious and gives a perfect balance of sweet and savoury.
Is peanut butter vegan?
Most of the time, peanut butter is vegan, being just a mixture of ground peanuts, oil and salt and additives.
However, some varieties may contain honey, so not every peanut butter is actually vegan.
Be careful to check the ingredients when looking for vegan peanut butter in supermarkets.
Brands that make vegan peanut butter include Whole Earth, Bettr and Pip and Nut.
What can I serve cauliflower satay skewers with?
These skewers are great on their own as a light meal or as a starter to a main meal.
However, they also go brilliantly with both salads and grain-based dishes like rice or lentils.
