Delicious Pineapple Chicken Satay Appetizer Recipe
Creamy Pineapple Chicken Satay Skewers
For the chicken satay
- 2 pounds ground chicken
- 1 small onion, roughly chopped
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemongrass, roughly chopped
- 1 carrot, roughly chopped
- 3 mushrooms (we used button mushrooms)
- 1 medium red pepper, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, roughly chopped
- 1/8 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
- Juice of one lime (medium sized)
- 4 tablespoons water
- 2 cups bread crumbs
Directions
- Place everything but the meat, cilantro, black pepper, and breadcrumbs in a blender. Blend until all of the vegetables are finely chopped.
- Mix together all of the ingredients in a large bowl with your hand (wash them first; they really are the best tool for this).
- Refrigerate for about an hour.
- Mold about 2 ounces of the mixture onto a skewer (see picture). This is easier if you keep your hands wet. You can also use lemongrass stalks in place of the skewers.
- Cook the satay on a grill or griddle until done. Top with the sauce and serve.
For the sauce
- 3 six-ounce cans pineapple juice
- 2 slices ginger
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3 stalks lemongrass, smashed
- Small handful of cilantro root
- 1 teaspoon crushed chipotle pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Directions
- Place all ingredients except the cornstarch and water in a saucepot and bring to a simmer. Allow the mixture to cook for 5 minutes
- Mix together the cornstarch and cold water.
- Wisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Allow the sauce to cook for a few additional minutes.
- It is ready when the sauce thickens and no longer tastes of starch. Strain the sauce.
To finish the sauce
- 2 small, sweet peppers, sliced thin
- 1/3 cup Pineapple Chunks
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Directions
- Sauté the peppers and pineapple together.
- The mixture is ready when the peppers soften. Add in the sesame seed and cilantro, then sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
- Add the mixture to the prepared sauce base.
