Stir Fried Ground Chicken on Mashed Tators
An original recipe from a good friend of mine in Phuket. Sounds excellent and will be a must try for me.
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, quartered and boiled
- butter, for mashing potatoes
- milk, for mashing potatoes
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- fennel seeds
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- salt and pepper, to taste
- plum tomatoes, for garnish
Instructions
- In a big frying pan, lightly coated on olive oil, add ground chicken, cover and cook on low so that it retains the juices. Chop it up further with a spatula and then add green bell pepper, onion, a good dash of fennel seeds, stir to combine then cover and let it simmer for 10 - 15 minutes , stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, mash the potatoes with a good amount of butter and a splash of milk. Set aside.
- Add mildly spicy tomato sauce to the chicken mixture and stir. Simmer again, stirring occasionally until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To plate, make a flat bed of mashed potatoes on a plate (add a bit more butter to the center) and ladle the chicken mixture over the top.
- Garnish with quartered plum tomatoes.
Notes
Ground chicken would run about 50 Baht for 500 grams, potatoes, tomatoes, etc is minor costs. For 4 servings this is about 38 cents per serving.
