Barbecue Tandoori Chicken

Easy weekend entertaining.. everybody loves the tantalising flavours of tandoori, and a bit of char from the barbecue makes them even better. Serve as they are with raita, or with a green leaf, mango and lime salad, or just wrap in soft naan bread.

Ingredients

  • 700g chicken breast or tenderloins, cut into bite sized pieces
  • marinade:
  • 2 tbsp Herbie’s Tandoori Spice Mix
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) Greek yoghurt
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) tomato paste
  • raita:
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) Greek yoghurt
  • 2 tsp Herbie’s Raita Spice Blend
  • 1 lebanese cucumber, cut into .5mm dice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt to taste
  • mint leaves to serve, optional

Instructions

  1. Mix marinade ingredients together then add chicken pieces and cover thoroughly. If there’s time, cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
  2. Mix raita ingredients and season to taste, set aside or chill (this can be done up to 1 day ahead).

Notes

Try this recipe with lean cubes of lamb, or shelled green prawns, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
These make a great canapé on small skewers.

Herbie’s Newsletter Summer 2019 – 2020

We’re all in accord about single-use plastics. Having seen huge drifts of plastic in the pristine seas off the Indonesian islands, we know just how important it is to get rid of those shopping bags, plastic wraps and sandwich bags. When one gets emotional about bad plastics, it’s easy to begin to demonize all plastics, and perhaps it’s timely to repeat this message from our Newsletter of some years ago.

What kind of meal do you think of when you hear the word “curry”?  The origin of our English word is Kari, meaning a spiced sauce.  The English took the idea back home from the colonies, and the classic Madras curry – well-balanced and flavoursome - became a staple in the English household.  The French, meanwhile, had colonized the Pondicherry area on the south-eastern

What is Single Origin? We see it emblazoned on tea, coffee, spices and other foodstuffs.  It’s pretty simple really.  If all your potatoes have been grown in the Hunter Valley, they are single origin from that region – they don’t all have to come from the same farm. If, say, a coffee blender buys beans from Africa and South America, and mixes them all

Rose Harrisa Mackerel Spring is a time always associated with flowers.  Cauliflowers, broccoli and broccolini, even cabbage and kale, are all flowers, and it occurred to us that one could make a culinary bouquet by adding rose harissa to these flowers.  We started the experiment with rose harissa sprinkled on cauliflower cheese, then progressed to rose harissa stir-fried with broccolini, and broccoli florets tossed with rose
