For the chicken sate:
1 lb. boneless breast of chicken,
cut into 32 1/2-ounce pieces
1 one-inch piece of fresh ginger,
finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup of olive oil
1 tsp. cracked black pepper
Sea salt to taste
32 6-inch bamboo skewers
Combine garlic, shallot, olive oil, black pepper, and chicken in a mixing bowl and marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Remove the chicken from the oil, insert a bamboo skewer into each piece, and season with sea salt.
To prepare:
Place chicken on a hot grill until cooked through, approximately 5 minutes.
Arrange chicken sate on a platter and serve with pineapple-coconut dipping glaze.
For the Pineapple Coconut Glaze:
1 ripe pineapple, all skin removed
1 can Coco Lopez
1 one-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
1 clove of garlic
1 finely diced red bell pepper, seeds and stem removed
2 tbsp. chopped cilantro
Juice of one lime
In a blender, combine pineapple, Coco Lopez, ginger, and garlic. Over medium heat, simmer pineapple glaze until reduced by half, approximately 20 minutes. Add red pepper, lime juice, and cilantro and serve immediately.
