Piri Piri Chicken kebabs

[g8ina]

These are marinating right now and promise to burn the roof off my mouth

4 large chicken breasts, skinned, boned and chopped into 1" cubes (ish)
red/green/yellow peppers, deseeded and chopped into chunks
mushrooms, quartered
red onion, quartered and peeled into its layers

marinade :
big handfull fresh coriander (cilantro), roughly chopped
2 chopped red chillis (with or without seeds, I use with today)
2 tspns grated ginger
4 cloves fat garlic, chopped
1 tspn salt
1 tspn sugar
good olive oil
juice of one whole lime
1 tspn paprika (smoked if U got it)
1 tspn ground cinnamon

Blend or use mortar and pestle on the marinade mix to get a fine paste. Stick the lot in a big bowl and mix thoroughly. Leave in fridge for as long as you can, pref o'night.

Heat oven to max (220C, Gas 9), or use a barbeque. Stick the mixed stuff on skewers, be creative

A final drizzle of olive oil, then cook them for aboiut 15 minutes, or till getting burnt bits round the edge.

Drink milk to soothe chilli burns

2 chopped red chillis (with or without seeds, I use with today)

the heat is in the membrane not the seeds

Personally I find a small quantity of sugar the best way to take the edge of a particularly spicy dish. It can even be mixed into the marindae if you want the flavour without all the heat, as it tends to soak up the oil very well and take away the firey edge of the chilli

Best thing to get rid of the heat. Is either yogurt (natural) or cut peices of limes up, stick them in a bowl and add sugar. Then just eat the peices of lime as you need them.

But I dont wanna get rid of the heat (while I'm eating it)......

Got 5 big kebabs out of that lot, and they were superb

Sounds yummy. Might have to save that for the next time I'm entertaining anybody
