Looking for the perfect snack that's simple and quick to make, healthy and yet still tastes special and full of flavour. It's also a great pre dinner canapé that will have your friends and family "ooing and ahhing" in appreciation
1 Tbsp Rapeseed Oil
3 Garlic cloves minced
3 Red Chillies ( deseeded and finely chopped)
500 g Minced chicken thighs (or pork or turkey)
80 g Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Fish Sauce
Zest and Juice of 1 Lime
2 Lime leaves ( finely chopped)
2 Little gem heads
Handful of mint and coriander
Handful of toasted peanuts ( roughly chopped)
5 cms of Ginger root ( grated )
1 Tblsp Light Soy Sauce
1 Can Water Chestuts ( chopped)
Method
Heat oil in a pan and fry garlic chillies and ginger for about a minute. Add minced meat breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go. Then add fish sauce, soy, lime juice and zest and brown sugar and chopped lime leaves. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until ingredients are well combined and you are satisfied that the chicken is well cooked through. Finally add the water chestnut and cook for a further two minutes. ( See photo ). Allow to cool to room temperature. Prepare lettuce by carefully separating leaves. Place a dessert spoon of the mixture into each leave cup and garnish with chilli strips, crushed peanuts and coriander.
