CHICKEN ROLL WITH DRAGON FRUIT MASH POTATO & DRAGON FRUIT VINAIGRETTE

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken fillets

1/4 cup plain flour

2 eggs

1 1/3 cups fine Japanese bread crumbs

Salt & Pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying

150 grams button mushrooms, sliced

2 tablespoons butter

Twine

For the mash:

1 3/4 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters

1 cup white dragon fruit, chopped

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

For the vinaigrette:

1 cup white dragon fruit, chopped

1 large tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped

2 tablespoons cilantro, minced

1 tablespoon shallot, minced

6 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lime juice

Salt & Pepper to taste

Direction:

1. To make the vinaigrette, combine all the ingredients for the vinaigrette in a blender and blend to make a smooth sauce. Set aside.
2. To make the mash, boil the potatoes in a large pot until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain potatoes into a colander and set aside. In a small sauce pan, combine milk & butter and cook over low heat until butter melts. Add cayenne, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Mash the potatoes. Add the warm milk-butter mixture and the chopped dragon fruit. Beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Cover and set aside.
3. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter then add the mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until mushrooms are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
4. Prepare the chicken by first tenderizing the chicken fillets until even 1/8 inch thick.  Rub both sides of chicken fillets with paprika, salt and pepper.  For the filling, spoon some mushroom and some mash onto each fillet. Fold the edges and roll the fillet over tightly. To ensure stuffing does not fall out during cooking, tie each end of the chicken roll with a wet cooking twine.
5. In a large skillet, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Carefully place chicken rolls into the pan and lower the heat to medium.  Cook for about 10-15 minutes until chicken rolls are golden brown on the outside and fully cooked on the inside. Remove from heat and transfer to a cutting board. Let chicken rolls rest for 5- 10 mins. Cut the twine off and slice the rolls about 1 inch thick.
6. Just before serving, pour the vinaigrette into a sauce pan and warm it over low heat. Pour onto an individual serving plate. Place a mound of mash dragon fruit mash potato in the center. Carefully place several sliced chicken rolls on the mash. Serve warm.
