Thai Chicken Patties

Thai Chicken Patties



So as promised here is the recipe for these bad boys ! Warning: They are SUPER Yummy, so good in fact, that my non FODMAPing other half chomped down on them like there was no tomorrow, and he's not even a huge fan of Thai food.

So here's what you do:
(I am in the UK, I'll try and do things in imperial an metric as I know we're all over the place.)

Makes 6 - 8 patties (more if you make them smaller, obviously)

600g/21oz of Chicken Mince (support your local butchers!)
A bunch of spring onions (scallions) (tops only) chopped finely
1 tbsp chopped coriander (cilantro), more or less depending on your taste.
1 tbsp garlic oil
1cm piece of ginger grated
Scotch Bonnet chillies - your call here, I used about half a tablespoon chopped and this was a good hit for me. (I like a good bit of spice)
1/8 tsp of lime zest
Salt - a good pinch, don't scrimp, there's a lot of meat here and it helps with the flavour so much.


It'll look a little something like this

From this point its simple, shape into patties, small ones work for buffets, and larger ones are good for main meals and to take to lunch. Either griddle your patties, or alternatively as I did, fry in a good non stick pan or add a little preheated oil. Note, if using a griddle, when they are done, they will come away from the pan on their own. If they don't, they are not finished browning, and you'll only be sacrificing half of your crispy bits to the griddle gods. Flip them halfway through cooking (this size took about 5 minutes on each) and if you've done big ones, you'll probably need to finish off in the oven for about 8-10 minutes. If freezing, leave them to cool after frying and freeze. When you reheat them put them in the oven and it'll take around 30-35 minutes from frozen to cook. Always check meat thoroughly before serving.

I served my patties with a courgette (zuchini) salad, just shave your veg, add some more chopped spring onions (scallions), a little chilli if you're brave enough, a pinch of sugar, a little salt and a squeeze of lime juice. I had plain rice noodles, but you can toss them in a little gluten free soy sauce or some FODMAP friendly sweet chilli sauce ( It does exist, I promise!) But I served mine plain and here is the end result. Pretty, eh?!

Om. Nom. Nom
