MIDDLE-EASTERN FUSION CHICKEN TACOS WITH GREEN ONION RELISH



Middle-Eastern Fusion Chicken Tacos With Green Onion Relish image

I cook middle-eastern dishes, and middle-eastern inspired dishes. Today, I had the hankering for some tacos. Taco-Bell used to have a carne-asada lime and onion soft-shell taco; now defunct, I satisfied my taco-craving with a recipe drawn from multiple influences, but combining a lot my favorite flavors. It's a mix of hard shell chicken tacos and tabbouleh.

  • in the same hot skillet, add in your marinade (liquid and all) - allow liquid to fully cook out; onions will become dark/blackened. *cook well as this was in contact with raw chicken* - set aside; this is your relish.

Time 4h32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts
Salt
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon red curry paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
Salt and pepper
8 blue corn tortillas, (6-inches each)
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup grated white cheddar cheese
1/2 red onion, finely sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
Cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • For Chicken Marinade: Whisk together soy sauce, oil, ginger, garlic and black pepper in a medium shallow baking dish. Add the chicken breast and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Heat a large grill pan over high heat until smoking. Remove chicken from marinade and season with salt to taste. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until just cooked through. Let rest 5 minutes, slice each breast on the bias into 6 slices.
  • For the Red Curry Peanut Sauce: Heat peanut oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the curry paste and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the soy sauce, coconut milk and lime juice and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the peanut butter and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • For the Peanut Relish: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • To Assemble: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lay tortillas out on a flat surface. Divide both of the cheeses among the tortillas. Top the cheese with 3 slices of the chicken, some of the red onion and cilantro. Fold the tortillas over to form a half moon and brush the tops with peanut oil. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese melts. Serve 2 on a plate, drizzle with the red curry-peanut sauce and sprinkle with peanut relish and cilantro.

TURKISH MEATBALLS



Turkish Meatballs image

I learned to make this at a Turkish cooking class. Serve it with a variety of Middle Eastern dishes and feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste. What I've given is an absolute minimum, but when I make the meatballs I normally throw in extra cumin and sometimes chilli flakes. You can also make this with minced beef.
