Method

  1. Soak a handful of wooden skewers in hot water for 20 minutes. Mix half the chopped shallots, coriander, cumin, turmeric, fish sauce and peanut butter together then add 2 tbsp boiling water to make a sauce. Toss with the chicken and leave for 15 minutes (you can marinate for a couple of hours if you want to make ahead).
  2. To make the salad, halve the cucumber lengthways then scoop out seeds with a teaspoon and thinly slice. Put the lime juice, sugar, chilli, fish sauce and the rest of the shallots in a bowl. Mix until the sugar dissolves, then toss with the radishes and cucumber and mint.
  3. Thread skewers with 3-4 chunks of chicken. Grill for about 6 minutes each side, brushing with extra marinade until cooked. Serve with the salad and flatbread.

    Very easy, although I would probably add some chilli/tabasco/harissa to the marinade next time. I also added more water than the recipe stated (about another 2 tbsp) to make it more pourable.

    Fantastic accompaniment to any Asian inspired recipe - very simple too. It's become a firm favourite in our house!
