Amy's Comments: SUPER super easy and SO good. Wow. I didnt read the instructions well (hello blondie!) and used the WHOLE jalapeno = SPICY
but we loved it! I imagine if you made it as written, it would be only mildly kickin! I also just pan fried, didn't do the skewers. This
would be great for football night!
INGREDIENTS:
1 (8-ounce) can whole water chestnuts, rinsed and drained
1 bunch scallions, chopped (1 cup)
1 teaspoon minced fresh jalapeno chile, including seeds
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Special equipment: 6 (8-inch) wooden skewers
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Add water chestnuts, scallions, and jalapeno to a food processor and
pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl with the chicken along
with cilantro and salt. Stir together with your hands until just
combined. Form mixture into 18 (2-inch diameter) patties on a baking
sheet, then thread 3 patties through their sides onto each skewer.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat
until hot but not smoking, then transfer 3 skewers of patties using a
large metal spatula to skillet and cook until golden and just cooked
through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter and keep
warm, covered with foil. Add remaining teaspoon oil to skillet and
cook remaining patties in same manner.
