Rice & Tandoori Skewers
I’m passionate by Asian food and more specifically by recipes that are easy-to-make but using high-quality products. For me quality and healthy products are essential in my recipes. Taking this in consideration I discovered the brand OrienBites some years ago. They have all kind of products that I often use in my recipes. As I told before I’m obsessed with healthy food, so I will always do some research before using a product. I learned that OrienBites is a brand with a clean label. This means they don’t use artificial taste enhancers and colouring in their products. They guarantee qualitative products and one of the most important part is that they don’t use STTP (= seafood soaking) and they are not using any MSG (Toxic artificial taste enhancer, often used in Asian food production). All OrienBites products are frozen which makes it very easy to use. As a father of three children the frozen products of OrienBites are the perfect solution in function of time and quality. Take a look at their website to learn more about it: http://www.foodempire.be

Prepare the Basmati rice In a saucepan, saute the onions and garlic in both the olive and sesame oils over high heat until the onions are tender and translucent. Add the rice and coat with the oil. Toast the rice, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes or until it gives a nutty aroma. Add the bay leaf and chicken stock and cover tightly. When the rice comes to a boil, let it boil for 2 minutes, turn off the heat, but do not remove the lid. Allow to stand while you make the salad and the chick

Prepare the Cucumber and Red Onion Salad To make the salad simply combine all the ingredients and toss well. Adjust seasonings to taste. This salad is very simple, bright tasting, and healthy. It also tastes better after it has time to marinate in its own juices for a few hours or days. After about an hour the chicken should be a very deep red, with some crispy browned spots. Serve the chicken over the basmati with a side of the salad. Garnish with lemon and green onions.
