Chicken stick kebabs
2 large chicken breasts
1 onion (optional)
1 cup Soy sauce
2 tsp Sesame oil
2-3 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp ginger
Wooden skewers
In a large bowl, combine soy, sesame and garlic. Cut chicken into strips and add to the marinade.
Stir well, cover with glad wrap and marinate in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. If you are bothered by the odour of garlic, place a
¼ cup bicarb soda in a small open container in the fridge.
Soak skewers in water for 20 mins. Cut the onion into 8 pieces, so you have little squares. Thread
the chicken onto the skewers, skewing each strip of chicken several times. It goes on a bit like
a fan. Or, you could just dice the chicken. I just find the strips cook a bit better and it looks nice.
Skewer on the onion however you like. Capsicum or zucchini would be nice too. Cook on the BBQ/grill/pan until firm
and cooked through.
Spinach Cobb Dip
We make this for any occassion as it is so morish and so addictive!!! You rarely have any leftovers
I always get comments on it and even the kids like it! Funnily enough, frozen spinach seems to work better than fresh. The spinach looks awful, but beleive me you wont even know its in there. If you are using fresh then you need to slice it very finely and wilt it in some boiling water and drain really well.
1 pkt frozen spinach, thawed (about 1 cup of frozen spinach after squeezed)
1 carton light sour cream
1 pack light philly
2 or more cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 packet french onion soup mix, add more to taste if needed
1 cobb loaf
Slice the top off the cobb and hollow out the middle. Place the cobb and the middle peices of bread on a baking tray and bake in the oven until crisp. You could also cut up some french bread too toast as there never seems to be enough cobb. Place the spinach into a colander and squeeze the heck out of it. Set aside. In a bowl beat the sour cream and philly with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in the garlic, and soup mix. Pour this into the hollowed out cobb and serve with the crusty bread pieces and if you like some carrot and celery sticks.
Kebabs (Makes 4-6)
Ingredients:
4 Turkish/lebonese bread
4 heaped Tablespoons low fat natural yoghurt
2 teaspoons crushed garlic (jar stuff is fine)
good squeeze of lemon juice
2 large Chicken breasts, sliced into strips
1 Tbsp Roast chicken or fajita seasoning (this is in the spice section of supermarket or use your own combination)
2 large red onions, sliced
Sliced tomato
Shredded lettuce
To prepare sauce combine the yoghurt, garlic, and lemon juice. Mix really well.
Set aside, in the fridge if its hot weather. In a small bowl combine chicken and seasoning. Add more seasoning if you think it needs it. Cook the chicken in a little butter or cooking spray until browned. Set aside. Place one leb bread on a
big plate and spread with yoghurt sauce. In the middle, top with chicken, then onion, tomato, and lettuce. Fold the bottom up and then roll as
you do with burritos or the like. Place in the sandwhich press if you have one for
about 5 minutes. Other fillings that are nice are hummus (easy to make yourself and nicer), tabouli, grated cheese etc.
