… in the savour of  lemongrass  & black peppercorns.

The Recipe:

Quantity of chicken wings/chicken lollipop pieces: 1kg

• Marinate the chicken meat pieces in a marinade of these ingredients for at least ½ an hour –

Whisk all these ingredients together for the marinade:

3 eggs

½ tsp. of turmeric powder

2 tbsp. of finely sliced pieces of  fresh lemon grass (the thin, long leaves of lemongrass)

1 tsp. full of  freshly ground black pepper

Salt – according to preference of taste

• Coat the marinated chicken pieces in a mixture of wheat flour and semolina and fry these pieces, in a shallow pan, in adequate quantity of warm, any mild-flavour, vegetable oil; in medium to low heat for less than 5 minutes.

Serving size – Approximately 5

The leftover marinade was used to marinate round, thin slices of sweet potato; I used the slender and long sweet potatoes – (about 250g) marinate the slices for at least 10 minutes before deep-frying the slices in warm, any mild-flavour, vegetable oil; fry these slices until pale golden brown in colour, sprinkle a smidgen of salt over the fried sweet potato slices.

Wishing You a Very Wonderful Day
