Method:

  1. For the spice paste, process everything but the oil in a food processor or blender until a fine paste forms, adding a little water if necessary.  Heat up the oil in a frying pan and add the paste, stir-frying until fragrant and golden (6-7 minutes). Allow to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven using Fan Grill 225°.
  3. Process the fish and prawns in a food processor until just blended, then transfer into a bowl and combine with the spice paste, coconut, shredded leaves and fish sauce. To test the flavour, fry a little mixture in oil until cooked through and adjust the seasoning if required.
  4. Mould heaped tablespoons of the mixture and place on the anti-splash guard over the universal tray.
  5. Place the tray with the satay on the shelf position 5 in the oven and cook for 5 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool slightly and serve on a platter with the lettuce leaves and lime wedges.
