Proof that one jar is the whole recipe. Grill the chicken, char the broccoli hard, then spoon peanut rayu over the lot. Tamari, toasted sesame and roasted peanuts turn plain protein into something you would pay for.
25 minutes. Serves 2.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, or 2 barramundi fillets
- 1 head broccoli or broccolini
- 3 dessertspoons Plateit Japanese Peanut Rayu
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ lemon
- Steamed rice to serve
Method
- Season the chicken, grill or pan-fry until charred and cooked. Rest.
- Toss broccoli in oil, chargrill or roast at 220°C until the edges blacken.
- Slice the chicken. Plate with rice.
- Spoon peanut rayu generously over chicken and broccoli. Lemon.
Fish instead: barramundi, snapper or salmon. Pan-fry skin down 4 minutes, turn, 2 minutes more. It wants less time than thigh, so start the broccoli first.
Steamed instead of grilled: steam the chicken 12 minutes, or the fish 8. You lose the char on the protein, which is why the broccoli still needs the grill. Do not steam both or the plate has nothing to push against.
Tip: Char the broccoli harder than feels sensible. The blackened tips are where the rayu clings.
