How to make: Grilled Thai Garlic Chicken Recipe

Note: I added one red chilli to the marinade and I used whole peppercorns (I should have crushed the peppercorns before adding to food processor)

Ingredients:

6 cloves garlic crushed

1/12 tbs cracked black peppercorns

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves and stems

1/3 cup lime juice

1 tsp brown sugar

1 tsp turmeric

2 tsp soy sauce

3 – 4 skinless boneless chicken breast

Blend Garlic, peppercorns, cilantro, lime juice, sugar, turmeric and soy sauce until smooth in a food processor or mortar and pestle. Separate the tenderloins from the fillets. Put the chicken in a shallow, non-metalic dish, add the marinade; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

Cook the chicken on a hot, lightly oiled BBQ grill or flatplate for 4 minutes each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165° F

How to make Cucumber and Tomato salad

Ingredients:

1 small green cucumber

1 large Roma tomato

1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 red or green chilli, diced

2 tbs fresh cilantro leaves

2 tbs lime juice

1 tbs fish sauce

To make the salad, halve the cucumber and scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon. Cut into slices. Halve the tomato lengthways and slice. Combine the cucumber, tomato, onion, chilli, and cilantro. Drizzle with the combined lime juice, sugar and fish sauce. Recipe courtesy of “The Complete Barbecue Cookbook”
