Make the sauce by melting butter in a skillet. Cook shallots and mushrooms
until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Add cilantro stems and 1/2 the
leaves, jalapeno peppers, and cumin, lower heat and cook for 5 minutes. Add
chicken stock. Turn heat to high and cook until liquid is reduced by half.
Add cream and return to a boil. Remove from heat. Puree in a blender,
strain, and return to heat. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and vinegar together in
a small bowl. Pour one cup pureed sauce into egg mixture to temper. Then
combine egg mixture and puree, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly,
until sauce is thick and smooth. Keep warm. Preheat broiler or prepare
grill. Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper, since sauce will be
spicy. Mix oil and lime juice in a small bowl and brush chicken and
scallions with it. Broil or grill thighs about 12 minutes, breasts about 9
minutes, and scallions about 2 minutes per side. Always grill chicken
skin-side down first. Arrange grilled chicken over a bed of basmati rice
and spoon sauce over all. Garnish with the remaining cilantro leaves and
scallions, and serve immediately. This recipe yields 6 servings.
