Chicken Tikka Masala Skewers

Chicken Tikka Masala Skewers

After completing 100 Asian recipes recently we’ve decided to play the Indian subcontinent a visit. We may well stay some time…..

Ingredients:-

300g of Chicken Breasts, cubed
Yogurt
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
3 Cloved of Garlic, minced
1 Tsp of fresh grated Ginger
1 Tbsp of Garam Masala
Juice of ½ Lime
2 Tsp of Chilli Powder
2 Tsp of Ground Cumin
1 Tsp of Paprika
1 Tbp of dried Coriander
1 Tsp of Salt
1 Tsp of Turmeric
½ Tsp of Fenugreek
¼ Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
¼ Tsp of Black Pepper
1 Red Pepper, chopped

Method:-

(1) Place the Chicken in a large bowl.
(2) In a separate bowl combine the marinade ingredients.
(3) Add the marinade to the Chicken and stir until fully coated.
(4) Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
(5) Thread the Chicken onto skewers, alternated with pieces of Red Pepper.
(6) Cook either on a griddle pan or under the grill for several minutes on each side, until the Chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Although historically this is an English combination of two existing Idian recipes, we don’t care. It was really good!

Bean and Pork Casserole

There was a good sized piece of Boneless Pork Shoulder in the discount fridge at the local supermarket, which was an ideal way to try out our home pickled green Walnuts.

Ingredients:-

Boneless Pork Shoulder
Potatoes
Carrots
Onion
Celery
Swede
200g Mixed Beans
2 Pickled Walnuts
Stock
Soy Sauce
Cornflour
Fresh Thyme
Fresh Basil
Mushrooms
Bay Leaves
Salt & Pepper
Oil

Method:-

(1) Soak you dried beans over night. We used a mixture of Black Eye Bean, Mung Beans and Rosecoco Beans.
(2) Cut the Pork into good sized cube and marinade in the Soy Sauce.
(3) Coat in a little Cornflour and fry to seal on all sides.
(4) Chop all the vegetables up and pop everything in the slow cooker with enough Stock to cover.
(5) Cook on High for about 6 hours into the Pork is tender.

The strange addition of Pickled Walnuts added a very slight Tannin back taste  which worked really well. As far as the Vegetables go, we just needed to clear what we had in the fridge.
