Ingredients
Chicken 1 cup apple juice |
Vegetables 1 tablespoon olive oil |
Method
Chicken
Stir the sugar into the apple juice until dissolved. Add the molasses, tomato puree, vinegar, thyme, and hot pepper sauce. Mix well.
Reserve about 1/4 of the mixture.
Place chicken pieces in a bowl or sealable plastic bag. Pour remaining 3/4 sauce mixture over the chicken and marinate at least one hour, or overnight in the refrigerator.
Grill or broil chicken pieces 20 to 30 minutes, or until done. During the last few minutes of cooking, turn frequently, brushing with the reserved marinade.
Vegetables
Heat the oil in a deep skillet or wok. Cook the onion 2 minutes, add the garlic and cook another minute. Stir in the potatoes and carrots, cover, turn the heat to low, and cook until almost tender, about 4 minutes. If the vegetables start to brown, add a tablespoon of water.
Add the asparagus, peas, radishes, salt, pepper, and dill. Cook, stirring often, until just tender, about 4 minutes longer.
