 Substitute chicken, shrimps or beef for the pork, if desired

 Make the sauce up to 3 days ahead of time, but grill the satays at the
 last minute.

 Soak about 18 bamboo shewers in water for 1 hour. Combine all ingredients
 except meat in food processor or blender and purée.

 Place marinade in bowl. Cut pork into 6-inch lengths. Slice each length
 into 1/2-inch long strips and thread onto bamboo skewers. Pour over
 marinade, cover and marinate for 2 hours.

 Grill or broil pork for 2 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

 Peanut Lime Dipping Sauce:
 Add peanut butter to a small bowl and slowly whisk in remaining
 ingredients.

 Dessert: Cool, sweet and simple, a colourful selection of fresh fruit and
 berries, or of fruit-flavoured sorbets or sherbets, is the perfect finish
 to a midsummer Thai dinner.
