Bourbon Chicken
« on: March 05, 2010, 10:25:33 am »
The origin of this recipe is 'recipezaar' from the internet.   I have changed both the ingredients and the method to suit our tastes. It is basically a chinese inspired sauce which is poured over pan fried chicken, fish or pork.

1 clove garlic
1 1/2 cm. of fresh ginger
 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon of chilli flakes ( depending on how hot you like your food)
1/4 cup of apple or orange juice
1/4 cup of light brown sugar
1 Tablespoon of tomato sauce
1 dessertspoon of cider vinegar
1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup of soy sauce
1/2 a red and a green capsicum
1/4 red onion
corn flour to thicken

Drop garlic and ginger on to moving blades, speed 5 .
Add all ingredients EXCEPT onion and peppers
Cook 5 mins., 100 ,  speed 1
Cut by hand capsicum into 2cm. dice, and onion into thin wedges,  and add to mixture in bowl.
Cook on reverse, 3 mins., speed 1, 100.
Mix cornflour( about 1 Tablespoon) with a little water and add to mixture. cook 1 min,


Serve chicken, fish or pork with rice or mashed potato,  green veg,  and sauce.

Makes 4 serves.
Other vegetables can be added.
Can be made ahead and reheated.

I really expected there to be some bourbon in the recipe Chookie and as I don't have any, I was happy to know I could make this sauce anyway.  Sounds good.  Would it freeze well too?

JD it would freeze well.  I'd add more vegies when you reheat it.   Could add pineapple and turn it into sweet and sour.  I made double,  so I could try various options.
