Aussie Asian Chicken
Australia is part of Asia both by location and, increasingly, by the company we keep and the food we eat. Here the two cultures come together in a splendid recipe using natural local ingredients.
Items such as Mountain pepper and lemon aspen juice can be obtained online from the Dining Downunder Store
To serve 4-6 people you will need 1kg chicken fillets, which could be breast or thigh
Marinade
15ml lemon aspen juice
40ml light soy sauce
30ml sweet sherry
1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
½ tablespoon grated ginger
½ tablespoon Mountain pepper
6 native pepperberries
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 teaspoon Bush tomato oil (see marinated bush tomaotes) (or sesame oil)
40ml honey
½ teaspoon five spice powder
garnish of coloured capsicum, leek, carrot
Combine all the marinade ingredients, lightly crushing the native pepperberries and brush over the meat. Leave in a dish to marinate for at least 1 hour before baking at 200ºC for 50 minutes or until done, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Slice thinly and arrange on a platter around a mound of lemon myrtle rice.
