Spiced Skewered Chicken Chicken Sosaties Food

SPICED BEEF AND CHICKEN KABOBS WITH CUCUMBER YOGURT

Steps:

• For the yogurt sauce: Stir together the yogurt, mint, lemon juice and cucumbers. Add salt to taste. Refrigerate while the meat marinates. (The sauce can be made up to 1 day ahead.)
• For the kabobs: Mix the yogurt, cilantro, coriander, cumin, turmeric, allspice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the beef and chicken (you can separate them into 2 bowls if you prefer) and toss to coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
• Prepare a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
• Toss the peppers and onions with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
• Thread the chicken and beef onto separate skewers (about 5 pieces of meat per skewer), threading a piece of onion between each piece of meat--for even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skewers. Use 2 skewers to thread the peppers, to make them easier to turn. (Make 4 double skewers with 3 peppers each.)
• Grill the kabobs, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on the outside and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes for the beef (medium-rare), 10 to 12 minutes for the chicken, and about 12 minutes for the vegetables.
• Serve the kabobs with lemon wedges and the yogurt sauce on the side.

• Place the chicken in a 1 gallon re-sealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade, refrigerate at least 2 hours (or overnight if time allows). Discard the marinade.
• Preheat the barbecue grill (or oven) for high heat at 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Thread the chicken, onions and roasted red peppers alternately on the skewers.
• Lightly oil the grill grate and place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until chicken juices run clear, turning several times.

SPICED CHICKEN AND GRAPE SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl whisk together the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, and salt. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate the chicken for 20 minutes. While the chicken is marinating, soak the skewers in water if wooden.
• Thread 4 pieces of the chicken and 4 grapes onto the skewers, alternating them. Spray a grill pan with cooking spray and preheat over a medium-high heat, or prepare an outdoor grill. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with mint and serve with lemon wedges.

SPICY CHICKEN KEBABS

Steps:

• Grind the garlic, ginger, orange zest and spring onions to a paste in a food processor. Add the honey, orange juice, soy sauce and oil, then blend again. Pour the mixture over the cubed chicken and leave to marinate for at least 1 hr, but preferably overnight. Toss in the mushrooms for the last half an hour so they take on some of the flavour, too.
• Thread the chicken, tomatoes, mushrooms and peppers onto 20 wooden skewers, then cook on a griddle pan for 7-8 mins each side or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and golden brown. Turn the kebabs frequently and baste with the marinade from time to time until evenly cooked. Arrange on a platter, scatter with chopped spring onion and eat with your fingers.

• 5. While chicken is baking, stir together sour cream and cilantro in small bowl. Serve alongside chicken.

CHICKEN SOSATIES (KEBOBS)

Steps:

• Saute the garlic and ginger in oil until soft (1 minute). Add the dry ingredients and stir for another 30 seconds; then add the remaining liquids. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Skewer the meat alternating with the apricots and onions (red peppers can be used for more color and flavor). Arrange the skewers in a deep dish and cover with the cooled marinade. Allow the dish to stand at least overnight or up to 3 days in the refrigerator. To serve: grill the skewers over high heat basting with the leftover marinade. The marinade can be used as a sauce if boiled again for 3 minutes. Serve the sosaties over rice and chopped fruit such as banana or mango.
