jevansio Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 As part of my new diet I hve ditched the usual pizza/chinese/indian takeaways in favour of chicken kebabs with chili sauce. They're obviously a pretty easy meal to make so I thought I'd have a go myself. It's basically chicken breast pieces, pitta bread, salad & chili sauce. What I want to know is if anyone has any favourite recipes or special ingredients they put in the sauce (or salad) to make them a bit special, might even be a regional thing. I've got a basic sauce recipe from tinternet which is: 1 Tin Chopped Tomatoes 1 Large onion finely chopped 4 Cloves garlic finely sliced 3 Teaspoons Mint Sauce 50ml Distilled Vinegar Fresh Chillies (quantity to taste) Put all the ingredients in a food processor and whizz up until pureed but with small pieces of onion, garlic and chilli visible. For the salad I was going to use chopped lettuce, red cabbage, onion, & cucumber. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I would do the following Place the chicken breast in a plastic bag and bash it with a rolling pin to make the raw chicken into a thin escalope Marinate the chicken in chopped garlic, cajun spice, olive oil and chopped corriander for an hour or overnight if possible grill the chicken on a very hot griddle pan and when cooked squeeze over some lemon juice and slice make a mint sauce by mixing 2 tbsp greek yoghurt with 1 tsp colmans mint sauce and a a pinch of salt I like to use Tabasco as the chilli sauce element (I like the Habanero one but you could use normal or the mild green tabasco) Slice onions very thinly and mix with lemon juice and corriander Toast the pitta and open the pocket, add shredded iceburg lettuce, the grilled chicken, chopped fresh tomato, chopped cucumber, slice onions and drizzle with the tabasco and mint sauce very healthy version of the kebab van favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I've had that "who dares burns" sauce, flatmate of mine was into his hot sauces, he'd always bring his newest one out after we'd had a few beers... "here, try a dab of this on your finger" he'd say - sigh... damn beer, it has a lot to answer for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
