CHICKEN SATAY



Chicken satay image

A fast, old-school street food, this dish can be found all over Malaysia and Indonesia. Its origins seem to point back to Java in Indonesia, where the concept of kebabs was brought by Muslim traders from India and Arab countries. Peanuts were introduced by Spanish and Portuguese explorers and they thrived in the tropical climate, which is why you see them used in so many garnishes and sauces there today.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 level teaspoon medium curry powder
½ level teaspoon ground cumin
1 heaped teaspoon turmeric
3-4 fresh chillies
2 cloves of garlic
5 cm piece of ginger
1 bunch of fresh coriander (30g)
6 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
2 tablespoons low-salt soy sauce
6 spring onions
4 limes
8 free-range chicken thighs, skin off, bone out
1 handful of shelled peanuts
groundnut oil
¼ of a watermelon (1.5kg), or 1 ripe pineapple

Steps:

  • Gently heat the curry powder, cumin and turmeric for 1 minute in a dry pan on a medium heat.
  • Deseed 2 chillies and peel the garlic and ginger. Place in a blender with the toasted spices and coriander (reserving a few nice leaves in a bowl of cold water for later).
  • Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, the green parts of the spring onions, the zest of 2 limes and the juice of 3. Blitz until almost smooth, loosening with a few splashes of water, if needed, then taste and season to perfection.
  • Cut each chicken thigh into 4 pieces and toss with half the satay sauce. Divide and thread onto 4 skewers and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
  • If you're using a barbecue, get it going 1 hour before you want to cook. If you're using a griddle pan, cut your wooden skewers to fit and preheat the pan.
  • Get a garnish plate together - drain the coriander leaves, finely slice the whites of the spring onions, finely slice the remaining chillies and wedge up the remaining lime. Toast the peanuts in a dry pan until golden, then crush and add to the plate.
  • When you're ready to cook, oil and lightly season the chicken on both sides, then place on your medium-hot barbecue or griddle pan. Cook for around 15 minutes, or until beautifully gnarly and golden, turning regularly.
  • Serve on a platter with the rest of the sauce on the side. Sprinkle over the garnishes and slice up some nice ripe wedges of watermelon or pineapple to serve on the side - heavenly.

CHICKEN SATAY



Chicken satay image

This recipe is part of Food Editor Barney's 'cooking with kids' series. Here, Barney and his daughter Maisie make chicken skewers with peanut sauce

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course

Time 40m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

small piece ginger
2 garlic cloves
zest and juice 1 lime
1 tsp clear honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp mild curry powder
3 tbsp smooth peanut butter
500g pack skinless chicken breast fillets
165ml can coconut milk
1 tsp vegetable oil
cooked rice and lime wedges, to serve
1 cucumber
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
sweet chilli sauce (optional)
bunch coriander leaves picked (optional)

Steps:

  • KIDS the writing in bold is for you. GROWN-UPS the rest is for you. Make a yummy marinade. Peel the ginger and help them to finely grate it and tip it into a bowl. Repeat with the garlic and lime zest. Halve the lime and get your child to juice it, then mix it in a bowl with the honey, soy, curry powder and peanut butter. Get them to give it a good mix, adding a small splash of water if it's too stiff, then help them spoon two-thirds of the mix into a small pan. Set aside for Step 4.
  • Now for some chicken bashing! Put the chicken in the sandwich bag, one breast at a time, getting your child to flatten each one with a rolling pin or a meat mallet - this isn't essential, but they like doing it.
  • Mix the chicken with the marinade you made. Cut the chicken into strips, tip it into the remaining third of the peanut-butter mix, then get your child to stir well. Cover with cling film and chill until required. This can be done up to 3 hrs ahead.
  • Cook your tasty sauce. While the chicken is marinating, pour the coconut milk into the pan and get your child to stir together with the peanut butter mix. The sauce needs to be heated gently and stirred - suitable for confident seven- or eight-year olds, under strict adult supervision.
  • 'Sew' the chicken onto the skewers. The chicken needs to be threaded into 'S' shapes onto the skewers. Get your child to thread the skewers away from themselves, being careful of the sharp points. Younger ones might find this a little fiddly, so they could just push on small chunks.
  • Paint the tray with oil and cook the chicken. Heat the grill to high and get your child to brush a baking tray with oil. They can then line up the skewers on the tray. Grill the skewers for about 10 mins, turning occasionally, until lightly charred.
  • Make cucumber ribbons with a peeler. Using a swivel-blade peeler, get your child to peel the cucumber into a bowl, then carry on peeling the cucumber flesh into ribbons until they get to the seeds. Repeat with each side of the cucumber.
  • Mix a dressing for the cucumber. Get your child to mix the vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves - explain what dissolves means. Add the sweet chilli, if using, then pour over the cucumber. Add coriander if your child likes it, or serve on the side for the grown-ups. To serve, put the skewers on a platter, the sauce and salad in bowls, and serve with rice and lime wedges on the side.

Provided by Joe Ortiz

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Indian

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
2 pounds fresh spinach, rinsed and chopped
¼ cup water
2 large onions, minced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 cardamom pods
2 whole cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water, if needed
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon garam masala
6 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and fry the chicken pieces until browned, about 8 minutes per side. Set the chicken aside.
  • Place the spinach into a large pot with 1/4 cup of water, bring to a boil, cover the pan, and remove from heat. Allow the spinach to steam for about 10 minutes, then place into a blender, and blend until very finely chopped. Set the spinach aside.
  • Place the onions, garlic, and ginger into the skillet, and fry over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, turmeric, cardamom, cloves, and salt; stir in 1 tablespoon water, and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Pour in the milk, stir to combine, and return the chicken pieces to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir the spinach and garam masala into the skillet, and cook until the spinach starts to stick to the pan, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in sour cream, and bring the mixture just to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in butter.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose the Right Chicken: For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. You can also use bone-in chicken, but it will take longer to cook.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that your chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Sauce it Up: Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauces for your chicken satay. You can use a traditional peanut sauce, or try something different like a tamarind sauce or a spicy chili sauce.
  • Serve with Sides: Chicken satay is typically served with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also serve it with a side salad or soup.
