Galinha à Zambeziana (Chicken Zambezia)

From Mozambique’s Zambezia province comes this spicy-hot chicken with coconut milk.

Ingredients
1 cup strained fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon finely crumbled dried hot red chillies
2 teaspoons salt
two 2- to 2½-pound chickens, each split into halves and the small protruding breastbones flattened with the side of a cleaver
2 tablespoons olive oil
1½ cup fresh coconut milk made from 1½ cups coarsely chopped coconut and 1½ cups hot water

Directions
Combine the lemon juice, garlic, chilies and salt in a large, shallow glass or enameled baking dish. Add the chickens and spoon the lemon mixture evenly over them. Marinate at room temperature for about 2 hours or in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, basting and turning the chickens over from time to time.

Preheat the broiler to its highest setting. Pat the pieces of Chicken dry with paper towels and arrange them skin side down on the rack of the broiling pan. Combine the oil with ½ cup of the coconut milk and brush about 2 tablespoons of the mixture evenly over the chickens.

Broil 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes, baste with another 2 tablespoons of the oil mixture, and broil 8 to 10 minutes longer. With tongs, turn the chickens over, then baste them again and broil for about 10 minutes, basting them once or twice. To test for doneness, pierce the thigh with the point of a sharp knife. The juice that trickles out should be clear yellow; if it is still slightly pink, broil the chickens for another 2 or 3 minutes.

Transfer the chickens to a heated serving platter and drape loosely with foil to keep them warm. Pour the juices from the bottom of the broiling pan into a small skillet. Add any remaining basting liquid and the reserved cup of coconut milk. Stirring constantly, cook over low heat for 4 or 5 minutes, until the sauce is thoroughly heated. Do not let the coconut milk come to a boil or it may curdle. Taste for seasoning. Pour the sauce into a sauceboat and serve it separately with the Chicken.

Iftar: Homemade chicken nuggets!

2012a7c-1.jpg

331eots-1.jpg


Ingredients:
1 Chicken Breast (about 300 grams)
Breadcrumbs (60 grams)------------------ I didn't have any so I took about 60 grams of my "Post's Lightly Frosted Shredded Wheat" cereal and crushed them till they were a powder-like state.
Powdered seasonings of choice
1 Egg White
Olive oil (or other oils up to you)

Step one: Measure about 60 grams of bread crumbs and then mix put them into a bowl. If you are like me and don't have any breadcrumbs you can crush up some wheat-like cereals you have till they are in powder forms and use it just the same. If you want to make your own breadcrumbs, you can put some slices of bread in the oven for a few minutes till they are stiff then blend them until they are powdery form as well.

Step two: Once you have the breadcrumbs ready, it's time to add the seasonings of your choice into the mix. Whether it is pepper, salt, etc it is up to you. For me personally I used Chilli Powder, Lemon Black Pepper, Parmesan Cheese, Mrs Dash Original Seasoning Blend. I mix them all well and good with the breadcrumbs.

Step three: Crack the egg, separate the yolk from the whites. We are only going to use the whites. Whip the egg a bit and set it aside.

Step four: Cut up the chicken breasts into smaller bite sized pieces. Note that the smaller they are the faster they will cook. Before cutting them up I would poke holes in them so that the heat can enter easier but if you don't want to do that it's ok..

Step five: After cutting up the breasts into smaller pieces, take one and coat it in the egg white and then bathe it in the powder you made just now. Make sure to get as much surface area you can get. Do this on all the piece one at a time.

Step six: Depending on how you want to cook them, if you wish to fry then put a little bit (or a lot if you want) of oil into the pan and start cooking it just as you would any other nuggets! If you wish to bake, then make sure you put a bit of oil on the baking tray before you place your nuggets there. Bake for about 10 minutes then take it out to flip them over then bake it again for another 10!

The End

Note: It's up to you what kind of sauce you want, personally I used Fine Wholegrain Mustard. Note that I am NOT a regular cooking guy, if you are a regular cook at home and you think something should be done in a different way then feel free to adjust it!

I baked banana cake recently. It's one of my own recipes and a variation of the previous recipe i posted. it's really simple to make. The thing is, since it contains banana (I used two which I mashed and mixed in the batter), you don't need to put so much sugar and you might try increasing bananas and not use any sugar at all.

The recipe:
1 tbsp baking powder
50 grams butter, softened
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup milk
1 & 1/4 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten

in a pot, mix baking powder with 1 - 2 tbsp water. add beaten egg, butter, and mashed bananas. mix well. stir in sugar. Then fold in flour. Finally add milk. mix well. Then set aside about 12 hours to rise.

preheat oven for 1/2 hour. grease pan and pour in batter. Bake about 45 minutes, until top is golden brown and knife entered in center comes out clean.

Enjoy! eid mubarak IB kitchen club members.
