Best Chicken Pork And Potatoes In Peanut Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN, PORK AND POTATOES IN PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• If using salted peanuts, rinse and pat dry. Grind peanuts in food processor till finely ground. (You can use unsalted, unroasted peanuts and toast them over low heat in a frying pan for about 2-3 minutes before grinding.).
• Heat half the olive oil in a heavy skillet or dutch oven. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for about 10 minutes, or till golden brown all over.
• Transfer chicken to a plate using a slotted spoon.
• Add the pork to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper, and saute for 3-4 minutes, till golden brown.
• Transfer to plate with cooked chicken.
• Add remaining oil to pan and lower heat. Stir in onion and cook for 5 minutes, adding water if it begins to stick.
• Stir in garlic, paprika and cumin and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the sliced potatoes, stir and cover the pan; cook for 3 minutes. (potatoes that break down during boiling work best here - I used russets).
• Add the stock and ground peanuts; bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 20-30 minutes.
• Return chicken and pork to the pan and bring to a boil.
• Lower the heat, replace the lid and simmer for 6-8 minutes, till meat is cooked through.
• Avoid overcooking so that the meat does not become tough and stringy.
• Garnish the stew with egg slices, black olives and parsley if desired (I didn't use any of these and it was still very nice).
• Serve over cooked rice (unless you really don't like the idea of potatoes and rice together - I loved it!).

PORK SATAY WITH THAI SPICES AND PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the skewers: Put pork in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together shallot, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, fish sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and coconut milk, and pour over meat. Toss with your hands to coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Meanwhile, soak 12 bamboo skewers in water.
• Prepare the cucumbers: Put cucumbers in a mixing bowl and season with salt. Add lime juice, sugar, shallots and chiles and toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Check seasoning, then transfer to a serving dish.
• Prepare the peanut sauce: Pulse the peanuts briefly in a food processor just until finely ground. Add the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, cayenne and coconut milk, and process until well puréed. Transfer to a bowl, then taste and adjust seasoning. Thin a bit with lime juice or water as desired.
• Thread 2 slices of pork onto each bamboo skewer, keeping the meat as flat as possible. Grill over hot coals, under the broiler or on a stovetop grill pan for 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer to a platter and garnish with cilantro and basil leaves. Serve with cucumber relish and peanut sauce.
