Directions
Chicken Skewers With Zathar (Thyme and Sesame Marinade), This recipe comes from Barbecue, delicious recipes for outdoor cooking by Louise Pickford I’m often want to use thyme as I adore the smell I thought this amount of thyme will make the recipe pungent but it actually taste yummy marinated with the chicken then barbecued and the flavour is strong but not overpowering Time does not include Marinating time Update: I have had a few questions regarding the thyme leaves: use the leaves only for measurements (don’t include steams) measure the leaves after it has been removed from the steams , Delicious! used all the ingredients listed but left them whole which did not alter the flavour in any way used chicken tenders I stirred the thyme leaves and toasted sesame seeds into the olive oil, along with a generous sprinkling of red chili flakes and a 1/3 cup lemon juice then marinated the chicken tenders for 1/2 hour These were then pan fried til golden-crispy on the outside and juicy-tender on the inside Served this with stirfried vegetables and a wine rice recipe found on Zaar This was a wonderful meal enjoyed by all and I will make this regularly , Tonight we experienced a restaurant quality meal with Chicken Skewers With Zathar served with Non- Creamy Potato Bake With Feta and Olives and a side salad The lemon juice sprinkle over the top of the skewers is a must Made for the Zaar Aus/NZ recipe swap #21 October 2008
