INSTRUCTIONS
Place the olive oil, lime juice, herbs and garlic in a blender and
make into a fairly smooth paste. Now place this in a bowl and set
aside a moment. Mince the scotch bonnets, scallions and celery and
add them to the herb paste. Stir in the paprika, cloves, mace, salt
and pepper. Reserve until needed. Slice the chicken into strips and
pound them between some film wrap to flatten them for the satay
shape. Thread the chicken onto pre-soaked wooden skewers and place
them on a platter. Cover the chicken with the Bajan spice paste,
turning them once. Refrigerate until ready to grill them. For the
salsa: In a small saucepan, reduce the orange juice over medium-high
heat to about 2 tablespoons. Remove from the heat and allow to cool
slightly. Place the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and
combine with the juice. Set aside. For the Rhum and Pepper Paint:
Toast the black peppercorns and the cloves together in a dry skillet
over moderately-high heat until you see puffs of smoke (about one
minute). Now grind them together in an electric spice grinder.
Transfer them to a heavy saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients and
heat all together on medium heat. The mixture will begin to foam as
it reduces. When it has reduced by approximately half, about 25 to 35
minutes, strain it through a fine-meshed strainer into a bowl.
Reserve warm until needed. To cook and serve the dish: Heat a grill
or grill pan until quite hot. Lightly oil it with peanut oil. Now
lift the skewers out of the Bajan spice paste allowing any excess to
fall off. Grill the chicken until just done. Serve the skewers
mounded up against the fruit salsa on a large festive platter.
Drizzle the Rhum and Pepper Paint all around the dish and serve.
Rippled edible flowers look very nice on this. This recipe yields 4
servings.
