Lemongrass Ginger Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and chiles and lower the heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and well caramelized.
• 2. Stir in the ginger and lemongrass and saute for 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and stir to combine. Stir in the black cumin and turmeric. When the spices are well incorporated, stir in the coconut milk and the half-and half. Add salt and remove from the heat.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• 4. Place the chicken in a Dutch oven or another large heavy ovenproof casserole. Pour the coconut mixture over the top of the chicken. Cover and bake for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is very tender.
• 5. Serve, family style, with basmati rice, a green salad, and warm Indian breads.
• Note: In India, the chiles would be left in the finished dish, but if you are concerned about them being eaten, remove them before serving.
• Wine suggestions: Qupe Syrah Louis M. Martini Red Zinfandel

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy based frying pan or wok.
• Add the onion, garlic, ginger, lemon grass and chili and stir for 3 to 5 minutes over medium heat until the mixture is lightly golden.
• Take care not to burn the mixture or it will become bitter.
• Increase heat to high; when the pan is very hot, add the chicken and toss well.
• Sprinkle the sugar over the chicken and cook for about 5 minutes, tossing regularly until the chicken is just cooked.
• Add the fish sauce, cook for another 2 minutes and serve immediately, garnished with the mint.

Steps:

• Trim any excess fat from the thigh section and cut through the thick parts to allow the marinade to pentrate more.
• Combine ingredients down to and including the vegetable oil and add the chicken and leave to marinate for 10 minutes.
• Then over high heat, barbecue the chicken, turning once and basting with any remaining marinade during that time.
• Serve with crisp salad leaves, a sambal, the lime wedges and garnish with the coriander leaves and steamed rice is also good.
