    Chicken with peanut flavour

    Ingredients:


    4 large shallots
    4 large garlic cloves
    2 stalks lemongrass, bottom 6 inches only, outer leaves peeled, inner stalk cut into 1-inch pieces
    2 serrano or jalapeno chiles, stemmed and seeded
    2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1 teaspoon ground coriander
    1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    3 tablespoons light brown sugar
    2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
    2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced lengthwise 1 inch thick
    3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
    1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice


    Light a grill. In a mini food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, lemongrass, chiles, ginger, soy sauce, coriander and ground pepper.
    Add 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce and process to a fine paste. Transfer half of the seasoning paste to a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
    Thread the chicken strips onto skewers. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil and let stand for 10 minutes.
    Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium saucepan.
    Add the remaining seasoning paste and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
    Add the coconut milk and bring to a boil, stirring. Whisk in the peanut butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon each of brown sugar and fish sauce and bring to a simmer.
    Transfer the sauce to a blender, add the lime juice and puree until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
    Grill the chicken skewers over a hot fire until lightly charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
    Transfer the chicken to a platter or bowl and sprinkle with the cilantro.
    Serve with the peanut sauce.

    This is a kind of Indonesian food. I had this in my husband's colleague house, she was from Infonesia. I liked the taste hope you guys too would like it
