It's Been Too Long

I just realized that it's been over a year since I put a recipe out here :-(  Sad, but true. Some of you had no idea that I ever put recipes on my blog!  Well...I do....very, very rarely.

Today's the day for one more great recipe!  This one courtesy of Cooking Light magazine.

Chicken Sate with Peanut Sauce


Sate:
1/2 cup chopped shallots (about 4)
2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger
1 Tbsp. sambal-oelek (chile past with garlic)
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. coriander seeds
2 tsp. canola oil
1 tsp. fish sauce
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. black peppercorns
Dash of nutmeg
4 garlic cloves
2 whole cloves
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast tenders

Peanut sauce:
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup water
3 Tbsp. lime juice
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. dark brown sugar
1 tsp. hot paprika
1 tsp. Sriracha (hot file sauce, such as Huy Fong)

1. Preheat broiler
2. To prepare sate, place first 13 ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.  Place shallot mixture and chicken in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal and marinate in refrigerator 10 minutes.
3 To prepare peanut sauce, combine peanut butter and next 6 ingredients (through Sriracha) in a medium bowl, stir well with a whisk.
4. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade.  Thread chicken on 8 wooden skewers.  Place skewers on the rack of a broiler or roasting pan coated with cooking spray.  Broil 12 minutes or until done.  Serve with peanut sauce and rice.
