Chicken Skewers

Cultural Context

Chicken skewers, often referred to as chicken satay, are a popular street food in Mauritius, reflecting the island's diverse culinary influences. Traditionally enjoyed at gatherings and celebrations, these skewers are marinated in a rich blend of spices and sauces, then grilled to perfection. Today, variations abound globally, with many regions adapting the marinade and accompaniments to suit local tastes.

1

Start by introducing the recipe for grilled green chili chicken skewers and a grilled vegetable, kale, and quinoa salad.

2

Measure out 1.12 lbs of ground chicken breast and mention that ground turkey can also be used.

3

Dice 1/3 cup of red onions and add to the chicken.

4

Add 1.5 teaspoons of cumin to the mixture.

5

Add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to the mixture.

6

Add 2 teaspoons of freshly chopped parsley and 2 teaspoons of freshly chopped mint.

7

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of green chili sauce into the mixture.

8

Add 3/4 teaspoon of salt and mix everything together using hands.

9

Form skewers by taking a portion of the chicken mixture, placing a wooden skewer in the middle, and shaping the chicken around it. Use cold water on hands to prevent sticking.

10

Place the formed skewers in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up.

11

Prepare the grilled vegetable salad by cutting a red pepper, an orange pepper, and a yellow squash into manageable pieces for grilling.

12

Drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the vegetables, add a pinch of salt and a few cracks of pepper, and mix with hands.

13

Preheat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat for about 2.5 minutes until it's hot enough to sizzle.

14

Strip the leaves from the black kale using a kale stripper and chop finely.

15

Check the vegetables on the grill after 5-6 minutes and flip them for even cooking.

16

Grill the vegetables for an additional 4-5 minutes on each side until charred and cooked through.

17

Add 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa to the salad.

18

Incorporate 2 tablespoons of raisins and 2 tablespoons of almonds into the salad.

19

Grate 2 carrots and add them to the salad for sweetness and color.

20

Check the grilled peppers and remove them from the grill when nicely charred and soft.

21

Cut the grilled peppers into strips and add to the salad.

22

Cut the yellow squash into strips and add to the salad as well.

23

Prepare the dressing by cutting a grapefruit and adding the meaty segments to the salad.
