走进任何印度餐厅,要求一盘萨摩萨岛,您经常发现它们配上一小碗鲜绿色的酸辣酱,在舌头上留下了火焰。这种令人震惊的生动酸辣酱的构造非常简单:新鲜的草药,新鲜的辣椒和一些香料与少许柠檬汁和水磨碎。这就像一个Chimichurri,但具有更强大的冲击力。绿色酸辣酱是有原因的,它的颜色是生动的,几乎令人震惊的翠绿 - 但坦率地说,我认为这个名字使酸辣酱造成了损害。它剥夺了这种诱人的调味品的细微差别和丰富性,可以以一千种不同的方式制作。有些版本可能含有椰子,而另一些版本则是薄荷或采用独特的香料组合来添加风味的明星草药。除了萨摩萨饼的搭档外,绿色的酸辣酱远不止是盘子边缘的调味品。它充满了风味,可以扮演许多角色:将烤蔬菜扔进其中,或将其折叠成一碗冷冻酸奶,制作出Herby Raita。我喜欢偏离其典型应用,并用它来腌制鸡肉。烤鸡肉,整体或分成碎片,从酸辣酱的腌料中获得出色的好处。您将酸辣酱和一半保留在蘸酱中,而另一半则折叠成奶油,浓郁的酸奶,使鸡肉腌制出美味的腌料。 Use a serrano or a Thai chile when you want a good dose of heat in the chutney; a jalapeño will work to give you a milder burn. You can lower the spiciness further by stripping away the seeds and the rib at the center. (Or make it as hot as you like, and keep a stash of creamy yogurt on hand—a dollop or two will be just enough of a fire extinguisher for any guests who can't take the heat.)

Using a knife, score each piece of chicken several times, about 3/4 inch deep. Sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Transfer the chicken to the bowl, and turn to coat evenly with yogurt mixture. Cover with a lid, and chill 2 hours.
