Chicken Satay
Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken cut into strips
1 T. sesame oil
1 T. olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 T. lemon juice
2 tsp. grated or minced ginger
2 T. rice vinegar
1 T. ketchup
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 T. brown sugar
1 T. balsamic vinegar
Instructions: Thread the strips of chicken onto bamboo skewers. Mix the remaining ingredients together. Place the chicken in a baking pan and pour the sauce over. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for about 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
These went very well with:
Mojitos
In a pitcher, combine juice and pulp of 10 limes, 30 mint leaves, and 3/4 cup of ultrafine sugar. Traditionally, you use a muddle stick to to mash this together until mint is “bruised” so as to release the mint oil and the sugar has dissolved. I don’t own an actual muddle stick but a pestle from a mortar and pestle set, a wooden meat tenderizing mallet, or even a large wooden spoon work in a pinch. Add 1 cup of rum, lots of ice, and some club soda. You can garnish with extra mint and lime slices if desired. So refreshing on a hot sunny day!
