Lemongrass And Lime Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Place the oil in a large, deep skillet and turn the heat to medium. Add the shallot, garlic, ginger and chilies and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and the mixture pasty. Add the turmeric, cilantro and sugar and cook, stirring, for another minute. Trim the lemongrass stalks of their toughest outer layers, then bruise them with the back of a knife; cut them into sections and add them to the mixture along with 1 cup water.
• Add the chicken and turn it once or twice in the sauce, then nestle it in the sauce; season with a little salt and pepper. Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet. Cook, turning once or twice, until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Uncover the skillet and raise the heat to medium-high; turn the chicken skin-side down. Let most (but not all) of the liquid evaporate and brown the chicken just a little on the bottom. Stir in the lime leaves and nam pla; taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, then garnish and serve with white rice.

Steps:

• Blend the chopped lime leaves with the rest of the curry paste ingredients in a food processor.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the curry paste and cook on a medium heat for 2-3 mins. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken, lime zest and juice, then season and cover. Gently simmer for 30 mins until the chicken is tender.
• Remove the lid and cook for a further 10 mins. Add the green beans, mangoes and whole lime leaves and cook for 5 mins. Add the coriander leaves just before serving with hot jasmine rice.

Steps:

• Heat pan with oil over high heat and add both the onions and garlic.
• Saute until browned slightly and add chicken and lemongrass.
• Once the chicken has cooked almost all the way, add the coconut milk, sugar, white pepper, and fish sauce.
• Let the liquid reduce for a couple of minutes and stir in the Thai basil, kaffir lime, and lime juice.
• Serve over a bed of jasmine rice.

Steps:

• Tip all the ingredients except the chicken, lime juice and herbs into a pan, bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered at a relaxed bubble for 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, until the chicken is tender. Stir in the lime juice, then scatter over the herbs before serving with rice.
