Ingredients

  • 1 chicken (1.5 kg), cleaned and chopped into quarters
  • 2 litres young coconut juice
  • 50 g fresh green peppercorns
  • 2 tbsp finely diced garlic
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar

  • 1 carrot, cut into cubes
  • 8 whole red Asian shallots, peeled
  • ½ onion, cut into wedges

Instructions

Lightly bruise half of the pepper corns in a mortar and pestle. Remove and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon sugar and chicken. Mix and coat the chicken pieces well and marinate covered and refrigerated for 1 hour.

Bring a large pot to high heat and add oil, garlic, remaining pepper and fry until fragrant. Now add the chicken and seal both sides until slightly browned. Add tomatoes, carrots and annatto oil. Stir then add coconut juice, red shallots, onion, fish sauce and remaining sugar & salt.
