TROPICAL CHICKEN ON SUGARCANE SKEWERS WITH PEANUT-PLANTAIN DIPPING SAUCE
You may use canned or fresh sugarcane in this recipe. If using fresh sugarcane, use a paring knife to peel and carefully slice stalks lengthwise into skewers 4 to 6 inches long. For canned sugarcane, cut each cylinder lengthwise into 6 to 8 pieces. You will need 36 skewers for this recipe; wooden or bamboo skewers may also be substituted.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine rum, allspice, pineapple juice, orange juice, peppers, brown sugar, lemon juice, and peanut oil. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until mixture has reduced to 1 1/4 cups, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. (The marinade may be kept, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for 1 day.) Place half of this marinade in the bowl of a food processor. Divide remaining marinade between 2 nonreactive baking dishes; set aside.
- Arrange 1 piece of chicken on a skewer with 2 pieces of fruit, with the exception of the plantain. Alternate papaya, mango, pineapple, and avocado with chicken on skewers, until all ingredients are used. Transfer skewers to the prepared baking dishes, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan on the stove over medium heat, or prepare an outdoor grill. Meanwhile, add plantain to marinade in the food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl, and set aside.
- Remove skewers from marinade, and place on heated grill, in batches if necessary. Baste with remaining marinade during first half of the cooking process. Cook until chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Serve on a platter with the reserved sauce.

Steps:
- Special equipment: bamboo skewers
- For the sauce:
- Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, and saute scallions, celery, carrot, and garlic over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have caramelized lightly. Add the red wine and beef stock and bring to a simmer.
- In a stainless steel mixing bowl, whisk together the toasted flour and butter, add the tomato paste, then gradually ladle in the hot stock, whisking as you go to make a smooth sauce. Add the sachet d'epices of parsley, thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorn, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 50 minutes. Skim any impurities off the surface.
- Heat oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer.
- Mix the chili powder, salt and garlic powder in a shallow bowl and stir in flour. Skewer chunks of chicken using bamboo skewers which have been pre-soaked in water, and dip chicken into warm water, then coat with seasoned flour. Fry until cooked through (about 6 minutes) and serve with Espagnole sauce. (Alternatively, these can be grilled by eliminating the flour and dipping the moistened skewered chicken into the mixed seasonings, then grilling until cooked through.)
