-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tsp oil
2 cloves garlic -- crushed
1 onion -- finely chopped
1 tsp fennel seed
1/2 tsp chili pepper -- crushed
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
8 ozs ground pork
2 tbl peanuts, oil-roasted -- finely chopped
2 tbl long-grain rice -- uncooked
3/4 c coconut cream
1 tbl fresh mint -- chopped
2 chickens
1 2/3 cu coconut cream
2 c water
2 tsps fish sauce
1 tsp curry powder
2 red chiles -- chopped
peanuts -- chopped (extra)
Heat the oil in a wok or a frying pan, add the garlic, onion, fennel seeds,
chilli and cinnamon stir fry until aromatic. Add the ground pork, stir fry
until the pork has changed colour. Stir in the peanuts and rice, stir until
combined. Add the coconut cream, bring to the boil, cover, reduce heat to low,
cook for 10 minutes, remove the lid and stir in the mint; cool.
Spoon this stuffing mixture into the cavities of the chickens,
forcing any remaining stuffing under the skin around the necks. Sew the
cavity openings or secure with toothpicks. Secure the legs with kitchen
string and tuck the wings behind the backs.
Combine the extra coconut cream, water, fish sauce and curry powder
in saucepan large enough to just fit both chickens, Bring to the boil,
add chickens, simmer covered for about 45 minutes or until the chickens
are cooked through. Turn the chickens once during cooking.
Remove the chickens from the pan, keep warm. Return the pan to the
heat, simmer the pan juices uncovered over medium heat for about 15
minutes or until thickened slightly and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups
liquid- the mixture will form a light sauce. Using sharp kitchen
scissors and a sharp knife, cut down the centers of the chickens. Serve
with the sauce, sprinkle with the sliced chillies and extra chopped
peanuts if preferred.
