Satay chicken & "little trees"

For Jonno tonight, chicken satay sticks, "little trees" (like the dinosaurs do eat, mama!) and an organic Cous Cous timbale. I'm always surprised with meals like this to see what he attacks first and enjoys most. Despite whipping up a yummy organic satay sauce, the Cous Cous is the hit of the platter tonight.

For the satay sauce, I literally mixed organic crunchy peanut butter and organic low-fat coconut cream to a 50/50 ratio and cooked it with the chicken. I added a dash more coconut cream once I had removed the chicken from the pan, and let it simmer and reduce. For toddlers who can't have peanuts, cashew butter substitutes perfectly.

Little trees were quickly blanched and Cous Cous cooked according to packet instructions- you only need two tablespoons of dry Cous Cous to make a small timbale.

The little dish I served it in was given to me today by my clever mum who has impeccable taste and can always find a treasure in amongst op-shop trash.
