That Chicken Recipe..

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 1 chilli
  • teaspoon each of cumin,ginger, mustard and paprika
  • teaspoon of corriander leaf (we use the Barts Spices stuff in oil)
  • chicken breasts, skinless. We go for organic free range here
  • 150-200ml Low fat natural yogurt
  • Spicey beans:
    • green beans
    • wholenut peanut butter
    • peanuts (1/4 pack)
    • Tabasco sauce (good splash)
    • Honey if you are not watching the GI
    • Tiny drop of cooking oil
  • Brown basmatic rice
    • tea spoon of tumeric
How To:
Chop and crush garlic,chilli (no seeds for us) and onion, mix with ginger, coriander, cumin, paprika, mustard and yogurt. Add chicken and allow to marinade (overnight if possible)
Before any of the other cooking starts put the brown basmatic rice on to boil as this takes longest to cook.
Pre-heat the grill, and while thats on the go blanch the green beans real quick. Now but the chicken under to grill and chargrill both sides (about 4 mins a side). While chicken is grilling drain beans and oil, peanuts and peanut butter to the pot and fry them off hard, a little char here is a good thing. Remove from heat and add in tabasco (and honey if you are having it).
With the rice, when most of the water has boiled off add the remainder of marinade and allow to finish cooking. At the end add some yogurt and tumeric to rice. Stir and serve up with chicken on top and beans on the side. Nice.
Big props to AWT for chicken marinade, from his low GI cookbook.
