Marinade & Dip

Both this marinade and dip are incredibly versatile.
For instance, the marinade can be used as a stir-fry sauce or sticky roasted chicken wings.
And the dip is basically a sweet and spicy guacamole – so think tortilla chips or wraps or anything Mexican or requiring a dip.
The recipes are also quite flexible and should vary based on individual taste – some like a little more sweet, some a little more spicy, and some prefer a nice sour twang.
So it’s all about tasting and correcting as you go.
We simply love using both the marinade and dip for these incredibly moreish tempeh skewers with and irresistible umami flavour.
Marinade Ingredients
Tamari sauce (or soy sauce)
Fish sauce (or more Tamari/soy)
Lime, freshly squeezed
Fresh Coriander, optional
Marinade Method
Start by adding 1 Tbsp. of each ingredient to a small bowl, and mix well.
Taste.
Decide what it needs more of.
Then add more of that ingredient – 1 tsp. at a time, tasting as you go.
Just more sweet – add Condimento Bianco
Just more sour – add lime juice
More sweet & more spicy – add sweet chilli sauce
More salt – add Tamari
Using the marinade for the tempeh skewers
Skewer cubes of tempeh onto sosatie sticks.
Use a basting brush to baste the tempeh.
Cook over hot coals, turning to barbeque both sides.
Brush more marinade over before serving with your dip.


Dip Ingredients
Avocado – ripe and creamy flesh
Lime, freshly squeezed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh coriander, optional
Dip Method
Using a stick blender, blitz the avocado (use more depending on how many people you are serving – one avocado should make enough dip for two people)
Add 1 Tbsp. each sweet chilli sauce, Condimento Bianco and Lime juice.
Blitz again until smooth and creamy.
Taste, season to perfection, and blitz one more time.
Sprinkle over coriander leaves, and serve with your Chaloner Marinade – Tempeh Skewers.
