Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 4 Chicken breasts (each about 160 grams)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 small red Pepperoncini (seeded, finely chopped)
- 1 shallot (finely chopped)
- ¼ tsp ground Cumin
- ¼ tsp ground cilantro
- 2 Tbsps light soy sauce
- 4 Tbsps Coconut milk
- 2 Tbsps vegetable oil
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
- For the peanut sauce
- 150 grams unsalted, shelled Peanuts
- 200 milliliters Coconut milk
- 2 Tbsps Peanut butter
- 1 tsp Curry
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 pinch sugar
- 3 Tbsps Whipped cream
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro
Preparation steps
Cut the chicken breasts into wide, 2 cm (approximately 3/4 inch) thin strips. Mix the remaining ingredients for the marinade, add the chicken and let marinate at least 2 hours in the refrigerator, then remove, drain and thread onto 8 wooden skewers. Grill for about 10 minutes, occasionally brushing with marinade. Serve the skewers with peanut sauce.
For the peanut sauce, toast the peanuts in a dry pan, let cool, then finely crushed in a mortar. Bring the coconut milk, peanut butter and the curry to a boil in a saucepan, stir in the crushed peanuts, lemon zest and juice, season with sugar to taste and add enough until the sauce is creamy. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.
