Lemongrass Spicy Chicken

Today our menu is Lemongrass Spicy Chicken, Snow White is the cook. This is quite an exotic recipe, a wonderful combination of flavours that develop and permeate the chicken as it cooks very slowly. The cooking takes about 45 mins or so to prepare from start to finish. Serve it with rice. If you like, fried cabbage with chives will be nice to go with.

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 plump stalks of lemongrass, tender white inner bulb only, cut coarsely

  • 5 small dried red chillies, cut half
  • 1 large capsicum, seeded and sliced cubed
