Life has gotten so busy in the past few months that I have not been able to blog religiously. I been super duper busy with my dance company and shows. Wait what - you did not know - if you haev a minute do visit our dance page at http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Ishanya-Dance/194534043901862. Anyhow back to my other passion - which is eating for which (un)fortunately I have to cook!
Here is a very very simple menu that you my enjoy:
Jerk Chicken
1. I used chicken tenderloins for this recipe. Coat chicken tenderloins with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric powder, black pepper and any Jerk Spice (available in local grocery stores). Toss well and set aside.
2. In a flat bottom pan, heat some olive oil. Coat the chicken in store bought fish fry mix. Gently place in the pan without overcrowding. Cook for 4 minutes on medium flame. Flip and cook for another 4 minutes. Now cover and cook for a few minutes. Uncover and cook for another 2 minutes ensuring that the chicken is white on the inside. Serve over the mango rice.
Mango Rice:
1/2 cup brown rice, cook in microwave accding to package directions.
1. In a stockpot, add butter. Add 1/4 tsp chopped garlic. Add the rice to the pot. Add 1/4th cup chicken stock and cover and continue cooking till tender on low flame covered.
2. When rice is tender, add chopped mango pieces (about 1 mango).
3. Add 1 or 2 green chillies, some chopped cilantro, dash of onion powder, salt/black pepper, and lime juice. Toss and serve with chicken.
Cilantro Avocado Sauce
1. Add the following in a blender and make a fine paste - 1/8 cup cilantro, 1 green chilli, and 1/4 clove of garlic.
2. Now add 2 tbsp sour cream and blend.
3. Add half avocado and pulse the mixture twice or thrice.
4. Season with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and some lime juice.
Serve as a side sauce.
