Esther's Thai Satay Chicken

I happened to ask my son what are some meals he would like for dinner. He had a few suggestions that he really wanted, the first being Satay Chicken. Having not made it before, I felt the pressure on as he is a "real critic" - haha!
So I began to think of some of the ingredients and flavours that I would need and hence came up with this recipe...

 

Ingredients:

To Cook Rice:
2 Cups Basmati Rice
4 Cups water
1 tblsp Olive Oil
1 tblsp SAVEUR Kerala Fried Rice Spice

Optional to add into the rice - Mixed Fresh or Frozen vegetables (I used frozen)


To Cook chicken:
500g Chicken Breast - cut into strips
1 Tblsp SAVEUR THAI MIX
1 tblsp Olive Oil (or other oil of choice)

To Make Satay Sauce:
1 Cup Crunchy Peanut Butter
1 Can Coconut Cream
1 tblsp Sweet Chili Sauce
2 tblsp lemon juice
2 tblsp SAVEUR Satay Spice
2 tsp SAVEUR Chili Spice

  

Method:

Cook Rice:
Place a pot on stove. Add olive oil and rice.
Heat, stirring until white tips form on the rice.
Add water and SAVEUR Kerala Fried Rice Spice.
Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until cooked.
*If adding frozen vegetables, add when there is still some liquid in the pot, cover and continue to cook over low heat for few minutes.
Remove from stove, and fluff with fork.

Cook Chicken:
Mix chicken strips, oil, and SAVEUR THAI MIX.
Add to heated pan, and cook, turning regularly, until golden.
Set aside.

Cook Satay Sauce.
In a pot add Peanut butter and Coconut cream, stir well over low heat until combined. Add all of the rest of the ingredients, continuing to simmer for a few more minutes.
Place all the chicken into the Satay Sauce and stir through.

Serve Chicken over the rice.
Enjoy!

Verdict: 
My biggest critic, my one and only child absolutely loved it! Bonus - Hubby was super impressed too! I will definitely be making this again.

Low Carb Tomato Tacos

A few days ago I shared our Preservative-free Tacos for all the family experience. Click here to View that Blog.


On that day I also made Low Carb Tomato Tacos for myself to fit in with my healthy eating lifestyle.
All I can say is that they looked amazing, were very Moorish, and Ultra delicious, plus I felt great eating them. They were so good and so quick and easy to make, that I will definitely be making them again on a regular basis, and with different taste variations.

Recipe Serves 4 -
(You can Double the quantity of the Mince and Taco Spice if you would like to also make regular Tacos for the family.)                


Ingredients:
300g Beef Mince (I used half beef, half pork)
1 small finely chopped onion
Can crushed/diced tomatoes or 1 cup passata
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon All Natural SAVEUR TACO SPICE
pinch salt (optional)
Can red kidney beans (optional)

4 medium to large tomatoes

Lettuce leaves shredded (approx. half cup)
Grated Tasty Cheese (approx. 1 cup)
4 heaped tablespoons Sour Cream (I made a Quick and Easy SAVEUR Guacamole Dip - see instructions and picture below)                                                

Method:
Add onion to pan, lightly sautee, add mince, continually stirring until browned and cooked.
Add salt, SAVEUR Taco Spice, and tomatoes
Reduce heat, simmer 10 mins - add beans and heat through.

Place tomatoes upside down on a chopping board. Cut into wedges not cutting all the way through to the bottom. (see picture)
Slightly pull apart tomato and add Cooked Beef mince mixture into each tomato.

Add lettuce on top of mince
Sprinkle Grated cheese on top of each

Top with a tablespoon of Sour Cream, or *SAVEUR Guacamole Dip.

                                  *Add one Tablespoon SAVEUR Guacamole mix to 1 cup Sour Cream

You will have fun making these, and they are so beautiful to look at. Most of all, you will enjoy eating them and they are a Wonderful Entertaining idea too!

Thanks for stopping by,
until next time when I post about more deliciousness!
