After the shortcut with very un-exciting ingredients, I had to post about a slightly more upscale canapé! Still a simple one though. You can totally make this with ready-cooked rotisserie chicken from the store, or just toss a bunch of boneless thighs in the oven until cooked through. In either case, it's rather effortless. And very, very good. The idea came from Rachel at Fresh Approach Cooking, who made this with duck. When I was first going to make it, I couln't find duck in any of my local stores, so I quickly decided to substitute chicken. Less rich, but still tasty.
Thai-style Chicken Bites
makes about 30
cooked chicken - about six boneless thigh fillets
5 tsp Japanese soy sauce
2 limes - juice and zest
1-2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1-2 tbsp thai basil, shredded
sugar to taste
1-2 large cucumbers to serve
Shred the chicken. In a bowl large enough to hold the chicken, mix soy sauce, lime zest, lime juice, ginger and basil. Season with a little bit of sugar. Add the chicken, mix well, and let this marinate for a couple of hours.
Cut thick, uneven slices of the cucumber, and carefully remove some of the seeds to make a little bowl for the salad to sit in. Serve with a small mound of chicken salad on top.

Mmm... those were wonderful little bits of joy :)
Oh, this looks so good! Great picture as well!
Det der jag nu när du säger det!! Jag hittade bilden i en bildbank på nätet som någon lagt upp och det stod på sidan att det var fritt att ta bilderna. Frågan är ju om någon tagiot din bild då? Jag tar givetvis bort bilden om du vill det!! Jag litade på det som stod på sidan naiv som jag är. Bilden är fin hur som helst och du är en duktig fotograf! :)
Men hojta till om du vill att jag tar bort den så ordnar jag det bums.
Det här receptet såg för övrigt galet gott ut! :P
Kram Karin
