Dinner with Jean & Roy! #3 - Harborwitch - 07-20-2007 Bob got home just in time for the dumplings - so we adjourned to the patio for a before dinner treat and some wine. Then back to the kitchen to get the chicken ready for the Banana Flowerless salad. From "Hot Sour Salty Sweet" by Jeffrey Alford & Naomi Duguid (If you like Thai food you MUST own this book" Peppercorn Coriander Root Flavor Paste 2 tsp. black peppercorns 5 to 6 large cloves of garlic coarsely chopped 3 tbs coarsely chopped coriander (cilantro) roots (stems if you don't have the roots). Pinch of salt 1 tsp Thai fish sauce Place the garlic, peppercorns, coriander roots, and salt in a grinder and grind to a coarse paste. Add fishsauce. Smear this all over the chicken and allow to rest for a few minutes. Then grill the chicken breast. While Bob was grilling the chicken we worked on the lemongrass patties and the soup. 1 lb ground turkey (or lean ground pork) 1/2 c. chopped shallots 1 or 2 stalks lemongrass trimmed and minced 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper Combine the ingredients well and form into patties. Grill until they test done. Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #3 - cjs - 07-20-2007 these patties are really tasty - glad I have the recipe now! "Banana Flowerless salad" - the operative word here is FlowerLESS - I'm sure more about this later..... Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #3 - Harborwitch - 07-20-2007 I will never ever do that again - maybe if . . . no NEVER! Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #3 - Mare749 - 07-21-2007 Those patties look really good! Not the kind of recipe I would normally try, but I probably will now. Did you eat them plain or dipped in some kind of sauce? Maryann Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #3 - cjs - 07-21-2007 I should probably wait for Sharon to respond...but. I think there was a dipping sauce that went with the dish, but we used a Sweet Chili Sauce instead. Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #3 - Mare749 - 07-21-2007 Thanks, we probably will too. Ron pours the stuff on anything asian. Maryann Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #3 - bjcotton - 07-21-2007 It doesn't have to be Asian Maryann Bob, that grill looks WELL used. Perhaps we'll get a chance to use it again, I hope. Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #3 - Harborwitch - 07-21-2007 Billy Bob will happily share grilling duties with you! Just get Fredia feeling herself and come visit. Bring her along, we've got lots of room! Oh, there's a turkey fryer burner, a propane smoker, and another smaller BBQ in the background.
