As someone has enquired about Padang Recipes [I forget who- apologies to
the rest of the list], I recommend the following recipe [though extra Thai
hats are an idea]
from: Family Circle: Step by Step Indonesia Coookery
Pa(n)dang Chicken
=================
1 kg chicken thigh fillets, cut into 3 cm cubes
1/2 cup lime juice (~16 fl oz)
250g RIPE tomatoes
1 cup water
3 chopped and seeded Thai hot chiles [this is a debatable measure]
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tsp ground turmeric
10 cm stem of lemon grass
1 cup coconut cream
1 Combine chicken with lime juice and marinade for an hour.
2 Chop tomatoes and blend/liquidisre with the water. Strain this mix into
a pan.
3. Add the fresh spices and lemon grass and the marinated chicken + excess
juice.
4. Bring to the boil then simmer, covered, for ~30 minutes.
5. Add coconut cream and simmer uncovered ( to thicken the sauce ).
6. Remove lemon grass blade, serve, lapse into plaintive moans of ecstacy.
