Ingredients
  

Brochettes

  • 1 tablespoon fresh coriander chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Preparation

  • Cut the chicken into coarse pieces.

  • Put all the skewer ingredients into the food processor and blend finely. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Peel and grate the ginger. Mix it with the remaining sauce ingredients.
  • With the chicken mixture, form 16 meatballs by rolling them in your hands (oiled hands make it less sticky).
  • Skewer 2 meatballs onto each skewer.
  • Pour a drizzle of oil into a hot pan (or on the grill) and cook the skewers for 4 minutes over medium-high heat, turning regularly.
  • Lower the heat and continue cooking for 10 minutes over low heat, basting the skewers with the sauce and turning frequently.
