Chicken Skewers with Spicy Peanut Sauce and Fragrant Rice

This is a recipe from Madhur Jadfrey which is usually used for whole chicken pieces, but here I used the same marinade for chunks of breast for threading on to skewers. If you are using wooden ones soak them first to stop them scorching, although didn't work for me and I also had to cover with foil. The peanut sauce that goes with this is really tangy and delicious, and the fragrant rice is almost a meal in itself.

I enjoy cooking mostly because I like eating, but also because it's a great way to relax at the end of the day. I work in book publishing and especially enjoy creating cookbooks written by cooks who love cooking and sharing food rather than creating show stopping dishes that take days to put together. As Nigel Slater would say; 'we are, after all, simply making ourselves something to eat'. I live with my lovely daughter Isobel who rarely pays any kind of compliment but will occasionally admit something I've cooked was quite nice, and our dog Piper, who will eat anything.
