Function: Circo Roasting®
750 g chicken thigh, fillet
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2cm ginger, grated
1 tsp salt
2 tsp peanut oil
20 bamboo skewers
For the sauce
10 cm stalk lemongrass, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 cm ginger
1 chilli
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp peanut oil
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp fish sauce
100 g crushed peanuts
270 ml coconut milk
Soak bamboo skewers in water before threading chicken to prevent burning. Shielding the skewer ends with a strip of aluminium foil can be effective if time poor. Ensure foil is secured to the tray.
Cut the chicken into 2 cm pieces and place into a medium mixing bowl with the turmeric, cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger, salt and oil. Mix until combined. Thread about 5 pieces of chicken on to each skewer. Refrigerate until needed.
To make the sauce: combine all of the ingredients in a blender except the peanuts and coconut. Blend until a course paste forms. Place paste in a medium saucepan. Cook paste for 3-5 minutes or until aromatic on Induction cooktop level 6 or Step Flame cooktop level 7. Add the peanuts and coconut milk and bring to the boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, level 5 on Induction or level 6 step Flame. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until it has thickened. Keep warm.
Preheat the oven on CircoRoast® to 180⁰C. Place the chicken skewers on the wire rack with the enamel tray underneath. Place the tray on level 4, cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve the chicken skewer with the warm spicy coconut sauce.
