Chilli Ginger Sauce

"This sauce is from Madagascar, and was posted for ZWT7 - Africa. It is a delicious spicy sauce, which is simple to make. I used it as a marinade for chicken breast fillets, and cooked them on the grill plate. I also used a little extra on the side. It went perfectly with the chicken, and I think it would team well with most meats, firm fish, even prawns..the possibilities are endless!"

  1. Great recipe, so simple to put together and very budget friendly. I made half the recipe and it made a perfect cup full. This reminds me of sambal oelek....if you wanted more of a sweet spicy sauce I think you could easily just add some sweetener and use for other things. I did tone it down just a bit with some extra tomato sauce, just personal preference and I used some really hot little chilies. It's quite spicy so aside from serving as a condiment for the spice lovers in the house, I'll use a bit here and there to lend a spicy boost to other recipes. Thanks Sara!
     
  2. Simple to put together and cook and deliciously spicy and savoury. I can imagine this going well with chicken and prawns like you mentioned and as a condiment to add to a curry to heat it up to your personal taste. I had to use bottled garlic (never use the stuff but garlic is SO expensive here I couldn't afford it lol) and dried thyme (1 teaspoon) because it wasn't available.

I'm married, I have 2 kids (both boys), and I live in Australia. I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember, and have become completely addicted to browsing through Zaar looking for new recipes! I have a small animal shelter for rabbits and guinea pigs, and spend most of my time looking after kids or critters!. My favourite cookbooks are The Essential Pasta Cookbook, The Central Cookery Book, Flo Bjielkie-Peterson's Country Cookbook, and Greek Cooking (I bought that one in Greece, and it's FANTASTIC). At the minute, we are getting ready to move, which is forcing me to sort through my recipe cabinet. I have been trying out all those recipes that are scribbled on pieces of paper, or torn from magazines, so I can decide ifthey are keepers or not. So far I've found a lot of keepers, and will work at posting them on here. I'm passionate about a lot of things, mainly my kids, animals, and cooking. I won't even start on my peeves, we'll be here all night! lol
