"A" - Azerbaijan - Toyug kebabs (Azeri sour Chicken skewers) recipe

Toyug kebabs (Azeri sour Chicken skewers) recipe
 
Around the world for £4 - A is for Azerbaijan
 
“Azeri chicken skewer is the souring agent, such as lemon juice or vinegar in the marinade. It seasons the dish and also tenderises the meat.”
 
We've modified this traditional recipe to suit the budget and ingredients we can find locally, so here goes.
 
Ingredients:-
 
3 Chicken breasts, cut into cubes
2 tbsp oil
2 lemons juiced
1 small Onion, roughly chopped
1½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 pinch of sugar
Skewers (we don't have them so we just lined the Chicken up in a tray under the grill)
 
Dressing:-
 
1 red onion, cut into thin rings
½ cup finely shredded shredded Flat Leaf Parsley
1 tsp Sumac
Lemon wedges
Wine Wine vinegar
 
Method:-
 
(1) Combine the cubed Chicken, Oil, Lemon juice, Onion, Salt, Pepper and Sugar in a  bowl and marinate covered for at least 2 hours.
(2) Thread the Chicken onto skewers. (Or just link up in the grill tray) Grill and transfer to a large serving plate.

Chinese Curry Sauce

Obviously most folk would just go to a takeaway and buy a tub of Chinese Curry Sauce. But that’s not an option for Sue as it invariably contains Gluten. So last night we had a bit of a Special Fried Rice gig and Sue cobbled this together to go with it. I’d challenge anybody to tell it apart from the plastic tub version!

Ingredients:-

4 Tsp of Cornflour
1 Tsp of Curry Powder
½ Tsp of Chinese five Spice
¼ Tsp of Ground Ginger
¼ Tsp of Garlic Powder
2 Tsp of Gluten free Soy Sauce
2 Tsp of Chilli Sauce
240Ml of Vegetable Stock
1 Tbsp of Butter / Margarine
1 Tsp of Lemon Juice

Method:-

(1) Mix half of the Cornflour with the dry spices in a bowl.
(2) Melt the Margarine in a pan and add the Cornflour mix.
(3) Keep stirring over a low heat to create a roué.
(4) Slowly add the Stock stirring all the time.
(5) Add a little of the Stock to the remaining Cornflour in a jug and stir well.
(6) Add this to the pan along with the Lemon Juice, Soy Sauce and Chilli Sauce and cook gently until thickened.

I know I’m pretty disgusting, but I had some of the, now set, sauce with the left over Special Fried Rice for breakfast this morning!
