For The Marinade:

• 4 TSP paprika
• 4 TSP cumin
• 2 TSP garlic powder
• 2 TSP onion powder
• 2 TSP allspice
• 2 TSP ground tumeric
• 2 TSP kosher salt
• ½ TSP ground cinnamon
• ½ TSP freshly ground black pepper
• ⅛ TSP cayenne
• 4 TBS extra virgin olive oil

For The Sausage:

• 4½ LBS boneless skinless chicken thighs (sliced into long strips)
• 1 LB pork fat (sliced into long strips)
• 31 OZ canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• 43 GR (~2 C) fresh parsley
• 10 cloves garlic
• 2 TSP salt
• 1 TSP black pepper

1. Combine the spices and oil of the marinade and mix into a paste. Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add the marinade to the chicken and mix with gloved hands to coat evenly. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate overnight (at least 4 hous).
2. Re-mix the marinaded chicken to ensure seasonings and juices are evenly distributed, then arrange the the chicken and pork fat strips in a single layer on a half-sheet pan covered in cling wrap and par-freeze. While waiting for the chicken and pork fat to firm up, set up your grinder. Once the chicken and pork fat have firmed up (but not frozen all the way), grind on a coarse setting.
3. Coarsely mince the garlic and sautee. Put the chickpeas, sauteed garlic, fresh parsley, salt and pepper in a food processor and pulse to break the chickpeas into breadcrumb sized bits. Add to the ground chicken and mix well.
4. If desired fry off a small patty of the sausage meat to check seasoning, then adjust seasoning accordingly.
5. Cover the mixture and place in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight to allow the texture and flavors to improve.
6. Stuff sausage into casings using your preferred method taking care to pop air bubbles and not to over-stuff the casings. Twist into links. If using collagen casings, place on a sheet pan and allow to rest in the fridge overnight to allow the casings to hydrate properly. Divide into individual links. If freezing for storage, first freeze individually on a sheet pan, then wrap tightly in foil (or vacuum-seal).

• 60 OZ canned black beans (rinsed)
• 4 LG eggs
• 4 TBS all-purpose flour
• 8 scallions (minced)
• 6 TBS minced fresh cilantro
• 6 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2½ TSP ground cumin
• 1 TSP hot sauce (optional)
• 2½ TSP ground coriander
• ¾ TSP salt
• ½ TSP pepper
• 2 OZ (1 C) tortilla chips (crushed coarse)
• 8 TSP vegetable oil
• 8 hamburger buns

NOTE: The black bean mixture needs to be refrigerated for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours prior to cooking. When forming the patties, it is important to pack them firmly together.

1. Line rimmed baking sheet with triple layer of paper towels and spread beans over towels. Let stand for 15 minutes.
2. Whisk eggs and flour together in large bowl until uniform paste forms. Stir in scallions; cilantro; garlic; cumin; hot sauce, if using; coriander; salt; and pepper until well combined.
3. Process tortilla chips in food processor until finely ground, about 30 seconds. Add black beans and pulse until beans are roughly broken down, about 5 pulses. Transfer black bean mixture to bowl with egg mixture and mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
4. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. Divide bean mixture into 8 equal portions. Firmly pack each portion into tight ball, then flatten to 3½” diameter patty (use a burger press instead if available). (Patties can be wrapped individually in plastic wrap, placed in a zipper-lock bag, and frozen for up to 2 weeks. Thaw patties before cooking.)
5. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place 4 patties in skillet and cook until bottoms are well browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip patties, add 2 teaspoons oil, and cook second side until well browned and crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer burgers to wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet and place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 4 patties and 4 teaspoons oil. Transfer burgers to buns and serve.

Ingredients:

• 2 LB chicken breasts or thighs (sliced into 1½″ wide strips by 3″ – 5″ long
• 3 TBS olive oil
• ¼ C coconut milk plus more as needed (may sub water)
• ⅓ – ½ C smooth peanut butter
• 12 – 15 skewers

Marinade/Sauce:

• ¼ C (60 GR) low sodium soy sauce
• ¼ C (50 GR) brown sugar (packed)
• 1 tablespoon chili paste (like Sambal Oelek) (optional)
• 1½ TBS lime juice
• 1½ TBS fish sauce
• 1 TSP dried basil
• 1 TSP ground coriander
• ½ TSP ground ginger
• ½ TSP garlic powder
• ½ TSP ground turmeric

1. Whisk together the Marinade/Sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. Remove ⅓ cup to a freezer size bag and whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil (for the marinade). Add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Marinate in the refrigerator 6 hours up to overnight. Refrigerate remaining marinade/sauce separately – this will become the base of your Peanut Sauce.
2. When ready to cook, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, remove chicken from refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Thread chicken onto skewers and lightly dab excess marinade off with paper towels.
3. OVEN: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Evenly divide chicken between baking sheets. Bake 15-20 minutes OR until chicken is cooked through being careful not to overcook or chicken will not be as tender (internal temp of 165 degrees F).
4. GRILL: Grease an indoor or outdoor grill and heat to high heat. Once hot, add chicken, reduce heat to medium, cover and grill chicken 3-4 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temp of 165 degrees F).
5. SKILLET: Heat 1½ tablespoons olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, add skewers and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temp of 165 degrees F).
6. Add reserved Sauce to a small saucepan along with ¼ cup coconut milk OR 3 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil then simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat then stir in ⅓ cup peanut butter until completely combined then add additional peanut butter if desired for a thicker/more nutty sauce OR water or coconut milk 1 tablespoon at a time for a thinner sauce. Taste and add additional chili sauce if desired for a spicier sauce.
7. Serve chicken warm with Peanut Sauce for an appetizer or also serve with rice/veggies for a main course.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

• Chicken thighs will be juicier.
• Soak the wooden skewers before grilling them or else they will catch on fire. I start soaking before doing anything else, then they can be soaking while the chicken is marinating – and you don’t have to worry about it last minute. When ready to use, just thread the chicken on, no need to dry them first.
• I find it easiest to cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create chicken fillets, then slice into strips.
• The difference between great and FABULOUS results with this Chicken Satay recipe is the marinating time. I would not marinate the chicken less than 6 hours. Try and plan for the full 24 hours if possible because the longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful and juicy it will become.
• Remove the chicken from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. This helps the chicken to cook more evenly.
• The Peanut Satay Satay has a peanut butter range of ⅓ – ½ cup. I find this is necessary due to readers’ personal preference and which peanut butter is used. I personally like the full ½ cup peanut butter and thin with additional coconut milk, but it is up to you!
• You can use water or coconut milk in the Peanut Satay Sauce. It is only 2 tablespoons, plus more as needed, so it won’t have a huge impact on flavor.
• As mentioned, you need to adjust the consistency of the Peanut Sauce with either additional peanut butter or coconut milk/water. It should be thick but pourable.
• If you have extra peanut sauce, you can thin it out and toss it with noodles, or serve it over rice or with vegetables. You can also use it as a salad dressing!
• Looking for a fun presentation? Dress up the platter with chopped cilantro, basil leaves, crushed peanuts and a swirl of Sriracha in the dipping bowl.

HOW TO PREP IN ADVANCE:

• Marinade: whisk the marinade ingredients and store in an airtight container up to 5 days in advance. This chicken loves to marinate so you can have satay bathing in the refrigerator for a 24 hours before you cook it.
• Peanut Satay Sauce: The peanut sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week stored in an airtight container. It can be reheated in the microwave or over low heat on the stove top. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in water or coconut milk until the desired consistency is achieved.

Yields 6 servings.

• 250 GR creamy peanut butter
• 20 GR soy sauce
• 25 GR Thai chili paste
• 75 GR milk
• 75 GR water

1. Combine all ingredients well.
2. Optionally you can use 150 GR coconut milk in place of the milk/water.

Ingredients:

• 2 LB pork shoulder or loin or thin pork chops
• 3 TBS oil

Pork Marinade:

• 1 stalk fresh lemongrass (finely chopped)
• ¼ onion or 2 shallots (finely chopped)
• 2 green onions (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 TBS fish sauce
• 1 TBS dark soy sauce
• 2 TBS brown sugar or white/palm sugar
• ¼ TSP sea salt
• Black pepper
• 1 TBS oil

To Serve:

• Freshly cooked rice
• Sliced cucumbers and tomatoes
• Nuoc mam (Vietnamese Fish Sauce Dipping Sauce) or peanut sauce

1. Wash and pat dry pork shoulder or loin with paper towels. With a sharp knife, trim off fat and cut into ½” thick slices*.
2. Finely chop lemongrass, onions, spring onions and garlic. For best results, grind to a rough paste with a pestle and mortar. Or, roughly chop and blend in a small food processor**.
3. In a large bowl or ziplock bag, combine all marinade ingredients and mix well. Add pork slices and coat well (if using a ziplock bag, seal then rub pork all over). Cover the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.
4. When ready to cook, add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large non-stick pan or griddle pan on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, with a pair of tongs, place pork slices onto the pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until cooked through and pork is lightly charred on both sides. Do not overcrowd the pan. Make sure there is wiggle room in between each slice. You most likely will have to cook in 3 batches.
5. Once the first batch is cooked, wipe clean the pan with a scrunched up paper towel using a pair of tongs. This will get rid of charred bits of aromatics from the first batch.
6. Repeat for 2 more times or until all pork have been cooked.
7. Serve with some rice, fresh tomato and cucumber slices and a side of nuoc mam or peanut sauce as a dipping sauce.

NOTES

• * Cooking with thin pork chops or shoulder slices. This will speed up the marinating process (takes less time for pork to absorb the marinade) and is quicker to cook. Thin slices are much easier to eat with rice, rice noodles or vegetables.
• ** Optional grind or blend the aromatics help release the flavours and make it easier for the pork to absorb during the marinating process. If you don’t have a pestle and mortar or a food processor, simply chop the lemongrass, onions and garlic to as fine as possible.
• Wipe the pan or griddle pan clean with scrunched up paper towel after cooking each batch. Soy sauces burn easily when sizzled on high heat. So do sugar, garlic, onions and lemongrass. All of which are in the marinade. By wiping the pan clean is the trick to avoid burning.
