INSTRUCTIONS
Make the sauce by melting butter in a skillet. Cook shallots and mushrooms
until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Add all cilantro stems and 1/2 of
the leaves, the jalapeno peppers, and cumin, lower heat and cook for 5
minutes. Add chicken stock. Turn heat to high and cook until liquid is
reduced by half. Add cream and return to a boil. Remove from heat. Puree in
a blender, strain, and return to heat.
Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and vinegar together in a small bowl. Pour one cup
pureed sauce into egg mixture to temper. Then combine egg mixture and
puree, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sauce is thick
and smooth. Keep warm.
Preheat broiler or prepare grill. Season chicken lightly with salt and
pepper, since sauce will be spicy. Mix oil and lime juice in a small bowl
and brush chicken and scallions with it.
Broil or grill thighs about 12 minutes, breasts about 9 minutes, and
scallions about 2 minutes per side. Always grill chicken skinside down
first.
Arrange grilled chicken over a bed of Basmati Rice and spoon sauce over
all. Garnish with the grilled scallions and remaining cilantro leaves, and
serve immediately.
