Nandos Chicken Strips and Spicy Rice Recipe
Thursday, March 15, 2018
It's so freaky how Friday rolls around so quickly!
I made this recipe for one Friday Lunch
and it was so different than our usual traditional rice dishes.
I love how spicy it was,
I did go a bit heavy handed on the chilis
so you can adjust the quantities for your palette.
This recipe is perfect if you want to serve it with a full chicken cut in pieces,
salad and chips
or even grill it in the oven.
Now this spicy rice is a bit different from the one I shared before,
- CHICKEN STRIPS INGREDIENTS -
1 Kg (5 - 6 chicken fillet pieces)
1 Tb Freshly Crushed Garlic
1 Tb Red Masala (Red Chili Paste)
1/4 tsp Fine Black Pepper
1 tsp Ground Cumin
2 tsp Green Chili Paste
Juice from 1/2 a Lemon
1/2 tsp Turmeric
Salt To Taste
- SAUCE -
4 Tb Nandos Garlic Sauce
3 Tb Nandos Peri Peri Sauce (medium heat)
4 Tb Nandos Lemon and Herb Sauce
2 Tb Nandos Garlic and Herb Sauce
2 Tb Mayo
2 Tb Tomato Paste
1 tsp Freshly Crushed Garlic
1 Tb Butter
Salt To Taste
250ml Fresh Cream
* I used 125ml of the fresh cream.
- METHOD -
- Cut your chicken fillet into strips and marinate with all the spices for 1 hour minimum.
- Cook on a low heat with some water till there is very little sauce left.
- Now mix all your sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken strips and leave to cook for a few minutes.
- Garnish with a lot of fresh coriander.
- RICE INGREDIENTS -
2 Cups Rice
3 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Turmeric
2 Cups Mixed Vegtables (peas, corn and cubed carrots)
1 tsp Crushed Garlic
1 tsp Lemon Pepper
2 Tb Robertson's Spice Rice
1 1/2 tsp Green Chili Paste
- RICE METHOD -
- First boil your rice with the salt and turmeric, once down strain and leave aside.
- In a pot, drizzle some olive oil (or clarified butter/ghee), when it starts to heat up add your mixed veggies and cook for a few seconds.
- Next, add your garlic, lemon pepper, spice rice and green chili paste.
- Mix with the veggies and leave to cook for a few more seconds.
- Now add in your rice, mix well and steam before serving.
- PLEASE NOTE -
Nandos Sauces are slowly becoming available internationally in store and online.If you do not have access to these specific sauces, you can still use this recipe and substitute to a different brand.
