If you take the time to walk through the meat market here in Kursk, you will definitely be hearing the calls of ‘Baranina (Mutton), Tiliatina (Beef), Svinina(Pork)!’, beckoning you to purchase the meat produce of the day.

Anyway, seeing that I bought meself about a kilogram of lamb, 2 thought popped into my mind- Mutton bryani and Mutton Satay, and that was exactly what I did.

I invited Ming and Bernard over, seeing that it was my turn to play host after last week Ming’s Hainanese Chicken Rice and Bernard's Fruit Salad Dinner.

Today’s Menu:
Main Course
Mutton Bryani, cooked with a variety of Indian herbs and spices

Side Dish
Chicken and Mutton Satay, baked to perfection, served with home made satay gravy and chunks of fresh cucumber

Dessert
Vanilla Ice-cream served with freshly-baked Apple Crisp



In future posting I will blog about recipes for the other dishes, but for tonight, I will share the recipes to Chicken and Mutton Satay.

2 portions of chicken breast meat, deboned and with skin removed
about 400 grams of lean mutton meat

2. Mix Marinate A. into chicken, leave for up to 6 hours.

3. Mix Marinate B. into mutton, leave for 12 hours (or overnight)

4. Hold satay stick in one hand while piercing meat pieces through the sharp tip. Arrange meat into a bundle of about 20 cm in length.

5. Arrange satay sticks on a tray, fill the bottom of the baking tray with water, and bake satay in a preheat oven at 180 degrees.
