Honey Cumin Chicken And Aubergine Skewers With Pistachio Dukkah Recipes

HONEY & CUMIN CHICKEN AND AUBERGINE SKEWERS WITH PISTACHIO DUKKAH

Steps:

• Pre-soak wooden skewers in warm water for 20 mins. (You will need about 32 skewers and they must be able to fit inside a griddle pan or frying pan.) Meanwhile, mix the marinade ingredients and some seasoning in a large bowl, then tip half into another bowl. Add the chicken to 1 bowl and the aubergine to the other. (If you're not catering for vegetarians, you can mix them together in one bowl.) Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 20 mins, or up to 24 hrs.
• To make the dukkah, toast the sesame, cumin and coriander seeds in a dry pan until aromatic. Meanwhile, tip the pistachios into a small food processor and blitz until finely chopped, but still with some texture, then transfer to a bowl. Tip the toasted seeds and spices into the processor and blitz again until finely chopped, then add these to the pistachios, along with the paprika, black pepper and a good pinch of salt. Mix, then set aside until ready to serve.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Thread the aubergine onto skewers, about 4-5 chunks per skewer, and place on 2 parchment-lined trays. Bake for 20-25 mins until tender and golden, turning the skewers and swapping the trays halfway through cooking.
• Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan or a frying pan (or use both to speed up the cooking) over a medium-high heat. Thread the chicken pieces onto the remaining skewers. Cook the chicken skewers in batches in the hot pan, turning regularly to prevent the honey burning. When nicely charred, but not cooked through, transfer to a baking tray. When all the chicken skewers are browned, drizzle them and the aubergine skewers with the remaining honey. Pop the chicken into the oven with the aubergine for the final 5-10 mins cooking, or until they are cooked through and sticky. Serve the skewers with a bowl of dukkah for dipping.

GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH LEMON AND HONEY

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, zaatar and salt. Set aside.
• For the chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, olive oil, salt and coriander seeds. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into 1/3-inch strips; add to the bowl and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to marinate.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Thread the chicken strips onto 8-inch skewers. Grill for about 4 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove to a platter. Serve warm with the dipping sauce.

HONEY-BARBECUE CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breasts in half or into thirds or whatever size you you desire to thread on the skewers.
• In a large glass bowl (use a large enough bowl to hold the marinade and the chicken strips) whisk together oil, honey, soy sauce, barbecue sauce and black pepper until well combined; add in garlic pieces and green onion.
• Add in the chicken strips and toss with the marinade to combine well.
• Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 8-24 hours (tossing the strips once or twice during chilling won't hurt!).
• Remove the chicken strips and discard the marinade.
• Thread chicken strips on the wooden skewers piercing at least 3 times through the skewers (make certain to soak the skewers for a minimum of 30 minutes before threading).
• Grill over medium heat.
