Chicken and Cashews with Coconut Satay Sauce and Coconut Rice - Quirky Cooking

Don’t you love recipes where everything is cooked all at once, in one pot?  Well, this is one of those all-in-one meals, except it’s made in the Thermomix, not a pot – which makes it even better because you can do three or four different things at once!  So while the sauce is cooking in the jug, the coconut rice is steaming in the basket above it, and the chicken and veges in the Varoma tray on top!  This is one of our favourite quick-and-easy meals… when I don’t feel like cooking, I can have this on the table in half an hour.  And everyone loves it.  (Adapted from the Chicken and Cashews recipe in the Thermomix Everyday Cookbook – but with my coconut satay sauce!)

The first 3 steps, marinating the chicken, can be done ahead of time for more flavour – but if you’re doing it at the last minute like I usually am, don’t worry, it still tastes good!

Note: You can find fine sea salt, Aussie pepper and Organic Garlic for this recipe in my online store!

Ingredients
  1. 300g - 400g chicken breasts or thighs
  2. 1-2 cloves garlic
  3. 1-2 cms fresh ginger
  4. a couple of tablespoons of tamari or soy sauce
  5. a splash of sesame oil
  6. 450g coconut cream (1 tin)
  7. 750g water
  8. 400g basmati rice
  9. some thin wedges of onion
  10. 2 stalks of celery, leaves removed, thinly sliced
  11. 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  12. broccoli, small pieces
  13. green beans
  14. chinese cabbage, thinly sliced
  15. boy choy, thinly sliced
  16. red (and/or green) capsicum, thinly sliced
  17. snow peas
  18. shallots, sliced and sprinkled on top
  19. some sesame seeds
  20. a handful of cashews (roasted or raw)
  21. a dash of sesame oil
  22. a dash of tamari (or soy sauce)
  23. a couple of handfuls of raw cashews
  24. 1 inch of fresh red chilli (or more if you like it hotter)
  25. a good handful of fresh parsley or coriander
  26. 2 cloves of garlic
  27. 1 inch of fresh ginger
  28. a couple of tablespoons of tamari (or soy sauce)
  29. 1 teaspoon of Rapadura (optional)
  30. a tablespoon of chicken stock paste (or vege stock paste)
Instructions
  1. Cut chicken into smallish cubes (about 1.5cm square) or slices and place in a bowl.
  2. Chop garlic and ginger in Thermomix bowl for 5 seconds, speed 7. Scrape out with spatula and mix with chicken in bowl.
  3. Add to chicken, mix in tamari or soy sauce and seasame oil, cover, and set aside.
  4. Pour coconut cream and water into Thermomix bowl.
  5. Sit lid on top of jug, and rice basket on top of lid. Set scales and weigh rice into basket. Remove basket and lid, rinse rice under tap (in basket), place basket in jug, then replace lid and lock into place.
  6. Place Varoma tray on top of lid, tip chicken into it and spread out so there's holes open for the steam to come through. Start cooking at Varoma temperature, 20 minutes, speed 4.
  7. Meanwhile, chop up the veges and place them into the Varoma as it's heating up. I start chopping the harder veges first and put them in as I get them chopped, leaving the ones like snow peas, capsicum and shallots until the end. Make sure there's a hole in the middle for the steam to get through.
  8. Sprinkle sesame seeds, cashews, sesame oil and tamari over the top of the veges.
  9. When the time's up, remove the rice (placing in the Thermoserver to keep warm), and stir the chicken and veges, breaking the chicken apart and making sure there are holes unblocked for the steam to get through. Cook for another 5 or 10 minutes on Varoma temperature, speed 2, checking that the chicken is cooked through. You may need to add a little more water if there's not much left in the bowl. Once cooked, remove Varoma tray while you finish the sauce. (Tip: You can take the lid off the Thermoserver with the rice in it, and sit the Varoma tray on top so they both stay warm.)
  10. To the juices and coconut cream left in the bowl, add raw cashews, red chilli, parsley or coriander, garlic, fresh ginger, tamari, rapadura, chicken stock paste and blend on speed 9 for 1 minute.
  11. Serve immediately - rice, chicken and veges with cashews on top, and sauce drizzled over liberally!

    This looks great, just bought a Thermomix and will make this as my first Varoma recipe! There are only 2 of us so could I halve the quantities of everything in the recipe?

      Hi there Vicki, when the vegetables and chicken are done and you are going onto making the sauce – empty maybe 1/4 of the liquid out of the jug and add some coconut cream (1/3 a tin?) instead of the cashews- this will make it nice and creamy still 🙂

    Thank you thank you thank you! My husband still isn’t convinced by the thermomix, thinking most of the mains(bar one and now this) are bland and lack flavour. This got the tick of approval! It will be on my regular list from now on! Very tasty and easy! Thank you! 🙂

    Hi Jo,
    I cooked this for my parents, husband and 3 year old last night, they all absolutely loved it! I’ve just bought your book and can’t wait to try more!

    I did however have a problem with my chicken cooking, I extended the time by over 10 minutes but some of the chicken was still raw (threw it all in a wok in the end). I did notice that the liquid was was bubbling up in to the varoma… but I did make sure there was always a hole in the chicken and veggies for the steam to get in the varoma . I did probably go overboard with the amount of chicken and veggies I used, maybe that was my problem? Any tips?

    Eager to try it again and get it right! Can see this being a weekly fav!

      Hi Liz, if the Varoma is too full it will take much longer for the ingredients to cook as there is less room for the steam to circulate. Hope this has been a family favourite! 🙂

    Hi Jo, I don’t own a Thermie 🙁 so I’m wondering if this recipe can be converted for stovetop making?

    I love the Best Butter Chicken Ever Recipe and make it regularly (family love it) as you have converted it for stovetop so wondered if you could do the same for this. I’d love to try making this recipe.

    We actually had the Butter Chicken tonight and I added a few cashews on the top when serving it. Tasted great too!

    Thanks for all your info and recipes <3

      Hi Jenny, you can make the rice on the stovetop with coconut milk instead of water, stir fry the chicken and veggies in a wok or large pan, and make the sauce by blending some coconut milk with cashews and the other ingredients in a powerful blender, then simmering on the stovetop to thicken. Hope it works out!

    I have made this recipe twice now and the flavours are amazing! Has anyone had trouble with the thermomix overflowing during step 9? After I check my chicken and put it on for the last 5 mins, the sauce flows out all over my thermomix. This has happened both times I’ve cooked the recipe. Any suggestions?

      I’ve never had that happen! But it could just be that you need a new lid seal? Get your consultant to check it!!

    I have made this dish a few times and love it! It’s so quick and easy and delicious, and my husband’s favourite dinner! My husband and I are currently rice free, so we just eat the meat and veggies – it still tastes fantastic!
    Do you have any suggestions for decreasing the amount of rice and coconut cream and water used? My kids are the only ones who eat the rice and I am finding I have a lot left over! I thought about just halving the amounts of rice, cream and water, but wasn’t sure if the liquid level on the jug would be high enough to cook the rice properly?

      You can decrease the liquid in the TM bowl to 900g total and the rice will still cook perfectly! Glad you are loving this recipe. 🙂

    Hi Jo the first time I cooked this I thought there was a substitute for brown rice (and time adjustment) but doesn’t appear to be here. Hmm. Any ideas? It was something like, do the rice for 20 mins, then put the Varoma back on and do the rest?

    Reply
    • QuirkyJo says:
      4 years ago

      You could either soak the rice over night so it would cook in the same amount of time, or cook the rice, veggies and chicken for 30 minutes, stirring the veggies and chicken after 20. 🙂

    I made this again today, for the first time in years. Being vegetarian, I substitute with tofu, and it works really well, I also use 50 / 50 rice and quinoa. I don’ t know why it has been so long since I last made it because it is one of the nicest and most reliable recipes I have ever made in my TMX.

    DIVINE! BUT HELP… The sauce was way too watery I had to strain most of the liquid. I didn’t cook rice in the varoma – could that have been the problem??

    Reply

      Yes, that was the problem. The rice soaks up most of that water! Next time if you make it without the rice, only use 500ml of water.

Today’s podcast is with David Westbrook @dave_westbrook_, a farming and business coach at @farmownersacademy, and we’re chatting about working smarter, not harder!

[Swipe left to see my most recent podcasts!]

In our frantically busy society, it's easy to get caught up in the "busyness equals success" trap. In this podcast, David shares his insights on how to stop glorifying "busy" and transition to working in a way that aligns with your values, and working smarter rather than harder. He gives plenty of down-to-earth, practical advice that will benefit your daily life, whether you're a farmer, a business person, a busy mum trying to keep up with all the cooking and organising for the family, or a teenager working on keeping up with school assignments!

We chat about:
- how a health crisis in David's family led him to regenerative farming
- how he changed the way he worked so he could focus more on health and family life
- top tips for time management
- slowing down to speed up, and working smarter not harder
- making a 'stop doing' list
- the 'brick theory' (also known as the 'brain dump')
- the 'traffic light theory' for prioritising tasks
- setting goals & creating your ideal week
- making a 'default diary'
- the power of your thoughts
- harnessing your dreams to change your life

Follow David at @dave_westbrook_ and also the @farmownersacademy for podcasts and tips that will inspire you to work smarter not harder! ✨

Oh guys, I’ve been meaning to tell you… I star Oh guys, I’ve been meaning to tell you… I started podcasting again!! 🎉🎉🎉 It’s been a while - I couldn’t keep up with everything while I was finishing my cookbook so my podcast “Quirky Cooking Chats” was a bit hit and miss last year! But baby, I’m back!! 😍 Tune in on Fridays!

Here’s part of the intro of my last podcast, “Creating Healthy Habits” - all about building new habits with tiny steps so they’re sustainable… then nurturing them so they grow and become an everyday part of your life. Tap on the link in my profile then on this video to watch the whole podcast.

You’ll find “Quirky Cooking Chats” on my YouTube channel, and also on Spotify and Apple and Google Podcasts. I’ve moved over to my own channel so this is kind of like “Season 2”! You’ll see 2 episodes so far on the new channel, with another being released tomorrow. Woo!! 🎉🎉🎉

I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this I’ve had a few requests for the recipe for this delicious potato bake I shared in my stories on Monday - another amazing creation by my sister Joye. 😍 The lemon zest is a genius addition! So here it is, in her own words… she took a quick break from her gardening to write this down for us!! 😁🤗

✨Potato Bake✨

Equal amounts potato and sweet potato, peeled, sliced thinly, parboiled.
(I used 3 sweet and 3 regular)

Butter baking dish, layer potatoes.

Sauce:
1 cup cream
2 Tbsp natural yoghurt 
1/2 c chicken stock
1/2 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp onion flakes
Zest of a lemon
Sprinkling of thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste

Mix together and pour over potatoes. Cover with grated cheese, bake etc

You'd have to adjust liquid amounts, so that it doesn't just coat it. It's got to be sitting in a puddle of it, so to speak.
————————————————

Yep, she’d rather be cooking or gardening than writing recipes 😄 so I’ll add some more details below in case you need it…

- If you don’t cope well with lactose, you could swap the cream for 24 hour sour cream and yoghurt*, or make cashew milk and use that without straining out the pulp so it slightly thickens, plus a little coconut yoghurt if you like. 

(*24 hour fermenting results in an almost completely lactose-free yoghurt/sour cream - tap on the link in my profile then on this photo for my 24 hour yoghurt and sour cream recipes and info). 

- Use as much cheese as you like, or leave it out if you’re dairy free. For dairy free, you could add a little non-fortified savoury yeast flakes to the sauce for a cheesy flavour - about two teaspoons.

- We used a 26x18cm dish.

- Oven temp was 180C (fan-forced) and it baked for about 30 mins (just until lightly browned).

Easy peasy! Enjoy 🤗🤗

If you’ve never tried pumpkin pie before, you need to!! I love how such basic ingredients like pumpkin, honey, coconut cream, egg yolks, butter, spices and almond meal can be transformed into a creamy, spicy, comfort-food treat the whole family loves! (Especially when it’s served with a dollop of cream or ice cream… 😁) You can find a few different ice cream recipes in my cookbooks, but we had a “treat day” and served it with ice cream from our local, organic dairy, @mungallicreek. ☺️

This Pumpkin Pie recipe is in my “Simple, Healing Food” cookbook, and in “A Taster” eBook. ❤️ The recipe is gluten free, grain free and free from refined sugars and starches, and there are instructions for equally delicious nut-free, dairy-free and egg-free variations. 

I hope you love it! 🤗

I had visitors this morning, and half an hour befo I had visitors this morning, and half an hour before they arrived I was desperately trying to find something for morning tea 🤔! I had no treats in the freezer, no blanched almond meal left, the pâté was frozen solid… I did have some whole almond flour and some raw cashews though, so I made a half batch of my Almond Meal Pastry using a mixture of milled cashews and whole almond flour. I pressed the pastry into muffin cups and baked for 10 mins or so at 180C, while making the lemon butter. While the pastry cooled, I chilled the lemon butter in the freezer, then filled the tart shells and topped with whipped cream. My friend Gabi (who grows and dries the freeze-dried raspberries and fruit you’ll see in my online store) brought some of her freeze-dried butterfly pea flowers for me to play with, so I sprinkled some over the whipped cream… Voila! An amazing morning tea without too much effort! Sooo delicious. I think I need to get these butterfly pea flowers in my store, don’t you?!! 😍

You can find the Almond Meal Pastry recipe in my cookbooks and also on the blog (the Chicken Pot Pies recipe); and the Lemon Butter is also on my blog. Another delicious variation is the Passionfruit Butter Tarts in my Simple, Healing Food cookbook! 😍
