So, I figure if I'm going to go to the trouble of taking Lipitor at such a young age, it makes sense to eat as well as I can. I end up grilling a lot of chicken, and I get tired of it. I came across this fantastic cookbook by Su-Mei Yu (see the resources section) and it is full of great sauces and marinades for grilling pretty much everything. I tried a whole bunch of them a week ago, and everything turned out well. Here's my favorite for chicken, with my small variations.
Nonya-Style Chicken
1 t. coriander seeds
1/2 t. sea salt
1 jalapeno chili, seeded and diced
1 stalk of lemongrass, tough outer layers and green parts removed, chopped
1 t. tumeric powder
3 shallots
1 T. blanched almonds (I used sliced)
1 t. red miso paste
1/2 c. coconut cream mixed with milk, to make the consistency of whole milk
Put the coriander and cumin seeds in a small skillet and dry-roast over medium-high heat for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let it cool. Grind the spices up in a coffee grinder.
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
You can use this as a marinade, but I simply brushed it onto chicken kebabs. It worked really well.
In my next post, I'll put up two dipping sauce recipes to go with the satay.
