Good morning,
I made this Thai recipe last night as I needed something really quick and easy as I had some friends coming over! I had to shop and cook in 1 hour...
Stir-fried chicken with Lime and Coconut
Serves 2 (I doubled it as we were 4 and it was only JUST enough)
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
grated zest and juice 1 large lime
150 ml tinned coconut milk
1 dessertspoon olive oil
1 green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 dessertspoon Thai fish sauce
4 heaped tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
4 spring onions, cut into (2.5 cm) shreds, including the green parts
Method
1. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl with the lime juice and zest. Stir well and leave them to marinate for an hour.
2. When you're ready to cook the chicken, heat the oil in the pan or wok over a high heat, add the chicken pieces and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until they're golden.
3. Add the chilli, stir-fry for 1 more minute, and add the coconut milk, fish sauce and half the coriander and spring onions.
4. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then serve with Thai fragrant rice and the remaining coriander and spring onions sprinkled over. (I used noodles which were delicious. They were 'ready for the wok' noodles so I just added them when the meal was almost ready!)
For dessert I prepared chocolate pots, also a VERY quick and easy!
Petits Pots de Chocolat
Serves 4-5
Ingredients
200g chocolate (I used milk chocolate)
300ml single cream
1 egg
Method
1. Heat the cream over water and add the chocolate until it melts.
2. Take off the heat and blend.
3. Add the egg and blend.
4. Pour into 4-5 pots or wine glasses and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
5. Serve with cream. (I served with a sprig of mint as it is very rich therefore no more cream required.)
Note: I would like to try this by adding some finely chopped mint for a different flavour.
