Sweet Soy Chicken and South African Peach Skewers

 

Serves: 4

 

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp sweet soy sauce (ketjap manis)

  • 1 tsp garlic paste

  • 1 tsp ginger paste

  • 1 tsp cumin seeds or ground cumin

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • Juice ½ lemon

  • 1 kg skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into pieces

  • 3 ripe South African peaches, cut into pieces

  • 1 large red onion, cut into chunks

  • Cooked basmati rice and salad, to serve

Method

  • Combine the sweet soy sauce, garlic paste, ginger paste, cumin, chilli powder, sesame oil and lemon juice in a bowl (not metal). Add the chicken pieces and toss together, then cover and refrigerate. Leave to marinate for several hours (overnight if possible).

  • When ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium-high.

  • Thread the chicken, peaches and onions onto skewers.

  • Grill for approximately 12-15 min, turning halfway through, and brushing with more marinade as they cook. Check that the chicken is thoroughly cooked (the juices should run clear).

  • Serve with basmati rice and salad.
