I once went for a two-hour cooking lesson in a remote village in Bali. It was great fun, and as I was the only student I had one-to-one teaching and managed to follow all the recipes. This was my favourite.

 Serves 2 Ingredients: 1 tsp vegetable oil 2 garlic cloves crushed, peeled 2 chicken breasts, skinned and cut into bite-size pieces 8 - 10 macadamia nuts, crushed ¼tsp white pepper 1 green chilli, seeded and finely chopped 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce pinch salt  Preparation: Have ready 8 10- skewers. Heat the oil in a frying pan, and sauté the garlic. Take a bowl and put into it the chicken, nuts, fried garlic, pepper, chilli, lemon juice, soy sauce and salt. Cover and place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight. When you are ready to eat, skewer the meat and grill or barbecue it for 10 minutes. Tips:No soy sauce? Use 2 tbsp of Worcester sauce and 1 tsp of honey. If you have no macadamia nuts, use 7 - 8 shelled and skinned peanuts. |
