Pollo A La Ana - Venezuelan Creamy Chicken

Pollo A La Ana - Venezuelan Creamy Chicken

Around the world for £4 or less took us to Venezuela this time!

Ingredients:-

1 Chicken Breast per person (We butchered a £2.35 Chicken and roasted the remainder yesterday)
1 Tbsp  Oil
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
½ Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Teaspoon Adobo Seasoning (See below Sue made her own)
¼ Onion (chopped in small pieces)
2 Cloves or Garlic grated
½ Cup Sliced Mushroom
A slug of White Wine
1 Cup of single Cream
3 Spring Onions
Chopped Coriander to dress

Adobo Seasoning:-

2 Tbsp Salt
1 Tbsp Paprika
2 Tsps Black Pepper
1 1/ Tsps Oregano
1 1/2 Tsps Onion Powder
1 1/2 Tsps Cumin
1 Tsps Garlic Salt
1 Tsp Chilli Powder

Method:-

(1) Cut the Chicken breasts into halves.
(2) Season the chicken breasts with the Oil, Worcestershire, Soy sauce and Adobo seasoning in a bowl.
(3) Leave the chicken breasts to marinade. In the meantime cut the Spring Onions & Onions, and begin to sauté them along with the minced garlic in a large pan.
(4) Add the chicken to the pan and begin to sauté them.
(5) When the Chicken is partially cooked, add the Mushrooms and Coriander, and continue to cook for about 5 more minutes.
(6) Add the Wine to the pan and let it cook at medium heat.
7. When the Chicken breasts and the Mushrooms start to brown and there is little Wine left, you can add the Cream and let it cook for a while to allow the flavours to blend. Dress with a little Chopped Coriander and serve.

We served ours with Dauphinoise potatoes and sautéed Leeks and Broccoli. We made a mistake with the Mature Cheddar we had in the fridge and it split in the Dauphinoise Potatoes. But it still tasted good.

Turkey Drummer Rissoles

Rissoles are a great way of using up precooked meat leftovers. In this case because we were looking for a recipe starting with “R” for our Recipe Alphabet gig we cooked the Turkey drumstick intentionally.

Crispy coating can be a problem for us as Sue can’t have Gluten. So the Crisps trick come into play again!

Ingredients:-

The shredded meat from a Turkey Drumstick
4 medium Potatoes, boiled and mashed
100g Cheese, grated
6 heads of fresh Sage, finely chopped (dried Sage would do the trick)
2 Egg, beaten for Egg wash
Flour (Gluten free in our case)
1 large bag of Cheese and Onion Crisps, smashed up
Salt & Pepper
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) In a bowl thoroughly mix the shredded meat, mashed Potato, grated Cheese and Sage.
(2) Season to taste.
(3) Form into mini-burger shaped discs about 1cm think.
(4) Dredge in Flour.
(5) Coat on both sides with Egg wash.
(6) Coat with smashed Crisps.
(7) Fry on both side in a little Oil until golden brown and the Cheese is melting.

We actually served these on their own with a little salad as they are monumentally filling. They are also very good cold, as we’ve discovered this morning! But they would make an outstanding side dish if you made a smaller batch.
