Equipment

  • food processor
  • skewers
  • Frying pan

Ingredients
  

Brochettes

  • 500 g chicken fillets
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste preferably from an Asian grocery
  • 1 piece onion
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon fresh or frozen coriander chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 16 pieces small skewers

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the chicken fillets into coarse pieces.
  • Peel the onion and cut it into large pieces as well.
  • Put all the skewer ingredients into a food processor and blend finely. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Peel and grate the ginger. Mix it with the rest of the sauce ingredients.
  • With the chicken mixture, form 16 nice balls by rolling them in your hands (oiled hands make it less sticky).
  • Thread the balls onto the skewers two at a time.
  • Pour a stream of oil into a hot frying pan (or on a griddle) and cook the skewers for 4 minutes over medium-high heat, turning regularly.
  • Reduce the heat and continue cooking for 10 minutes over low heat, basting the skewers with the sauce and turning frequently.
  • Serve with glazed carrots (using the same sauce) or basmati rice.

Notes

These skewers are perfect for any outdoor barbecue or a cozy dinner at home.
