So I did. And I enjoyed every bit of it. I measured my meat and my rice, ended up having barely any rice, so that I could smear some more of the sauce on the chicken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chopped pieces of chicken breast (150g for me) I have briefly marinated in some soy sauce, cumin, ground coriander, ginger and garlic, before stabbing it on the skewers and cooking in the oven for about 20 mins, only taking out before the end to smear some pinda saus on it, the rest of which I served in the bowl on the table. Plain rice, some cucumber, chili and coriander completed the picture. Oh, and a glass of cab sav did too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lekker! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/10\/PXL_20261024_1553444252-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/10\/PXL_20261024_1553444252-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/10\/PXL_20261024_1553444252-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/10\/PXL_20261024_1553444252-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/10\/PXL_20261024_1553444252-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/10\/PXL_20261024_1553444252-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/10\/PXL_20261024_1553444252-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florek has started a new job this week, for a Dutch company.
