Spicy Plantain and Chicken Satay
- 6 tablespoons ginger wine
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon mild red paprika
- 1 pinch celery salt
- 4 boneless chicken breast fillets (cleaned, fat cut off, and cubed)
- 3 firm plantains, semi-ripe
- 1 lime, halved
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 8 small fresh red chilies (chillies)
- Place all the marinade ingredients in a small saucepan and gently warm over a low heat, stirring, until the peanut butter has melted and blended in with the other ingredients.
- Pour the marinade into a bowl and add the cubed chicken.
- Stir well so each piece of chicken is well coated with marinade.
- Allow to stand for about 1 hour.
- Peel the plantains, rubbing a little oil onto your hands before starting so that the dark, sticky residue from the plantains' skin does not stain your hands.
- Rub the lime halves over the peeled plantains so they do not discolor.
- Trim off the ends and cut each plantain on the diagonal into six thick chunks.
- Squeeze the remaining lime juice over the plantain pieces, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and toss.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade liquid.
- Thread alternate pieces of marinated chicken and plantain onto each of 8 wood or metal skewers, and top each skewer with a chile.
- Brush with the marinade and grill (barbecue) until cooked, about 10 minutes.
- Take care to keep turning the satays regularly so they are browned and cooked evenly.
- Serve hot with alfalfa or green shoots and a tomato salsa .
- Note:.
- If you are using bamboo skewers, soak them in warm water for about 1 hour while your chicken is marinating.
- Wipe the skewers with a paper towel dipped in a little oil before you skewer the meat and vegetables onto them; this helps the cooked food to slide off easily.
