OH this is good. What a great surprise for dinner.
In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal S-blade
and with the motor running, process the ginger, garlic and peppers until
minced by adding them through the feed tube.
Add the macadamia nuts and process until minced.
Add the oil, lemon or lime juice, yogurt, basil and cilantro and
process until everything is smooth. (Stop the machine and scrape down
the sides of the work bowl once or twice.)
Add the spices and salt and process again to incorporate.
Put the chicken thighs in a medium bowl. Add the processed mixture
and mix until the pieces are fully coated with it.
Cover with plastic wrap and marinate the chicken thighs for at least
12 and up to 48 hours in the refrigerator.
Transfer the chicken and its marinade to a large skillet and cook,
stirring occasionally, over moderately high heat until the thighs are
golden and tender and the marinade sticks to the pieces, 20 to 25
minutes.
Transfer to a serving platter or dish, garnish with basil or
cilantro, and serve.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves: 5
