Chicken Kiev with Mlynti

Chicken Kiev with Mlynti recipe

Yesterday we went to Ukraine on our round the world for £4 or less virtual tour. Beetroot plays a big part in Ukrainian cuisine, so here is Sue’s take on Mlynti – Beetroot Pancakes & Chicken Kiev.

Ingredients for the Mlynti:-

320g GF flour
2 tsp Sugar
50ml Butter Milk
1 tsp of salt
375 ml milk
1 Egg
300g fresh Beetroot
Vegetable oil

Method for the Mlynti:-


(1) Boil beetroots in a large pan of water. Peel and shred them and then add the Buttermilk to the prepared beetroot.
(2) Pour into a blender and whip it at high speed.
(3) Cool to 35°C and add an egg. Mix everything carefully.
(4) Combine salt, sugar and flour in a separate bowl and whip.
(5) Combine all the ingredients into a batter.
(6) Leave the batter for 30 minutes.
(7) Heat vegetable oil in a pan. Fry the pancakes on both sides at medium heat.


Ingredients for the Kiev:-

1 Chicken Breast per person
Garlic Butter
Juice of a lemon
1 Egg, beaten
Oil to fry
(GF) Flour
(GF) Breadcrumbs
Salt & Pepper

Method for the Chicken Kievs:-
 

(1) Freeze the Garlic Butter rolled in a sausage shape in cling film.
(2) Beat the Chicken out with a rolling pin and season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Place the Garlic butter in the centre, add a squeeze of Lemon Juice and wrap the meat around it.
(4) Place back in the fridge to stop the Garlic Butter from melting too much.
(5) Flour on all sides.
(6) Dip each Kiev in the beaten Egg and then roll in Breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
(7) Fry on all sides over a low heat to brown the Breadcrumbs.
(8) Place in a pre-heated over at 180c for about 20 minutes.

We filled our Mlynti with a little soft Blue Cheese and served with a fresh dressed salad. The  Mlynti were really good. Well to be fair the whole meal was really good. We’ll not be having issues with Vampires here today though…...

Stuffed Zucchini

We’ve reached “Z” in our Ingredients Alphabet experiment. OK we’d usually call the Zucchini Courgettes here, but a bit of artistic license….

Ingredients:-

The meat from 2 cooked Chicken thighs, shredded
1 large Zucchini each
Grated Cheese
Seasoned (Gluten free) Breadcrumbs
Grated Italian style Cheese
1/2 a tub of Garlic and Herb Quark
Finely chopped Mushrooms
Finely chopped Onion

Method:-

(1) Cut the Zucchini in half and scoop out the seeds to make an odd little green boat.
(2) Sautee the Onions in Garlic Butter until softened.
(3) Add the chopped Mushrooms.
(4) Season with Salt, Pepper and mixed Herbs.
(5) Add the Chicken and mix well.
(6) Add the Quark.
(7) Fill the Zucchini.
(8) Place in the oven at 180c for 20 minutes.
(9) Sprinkle with grated Cheese, Italian style Cheese and Breadcrumbs.
(10) Put back in the oven for a further 10 minutes.
(11) Place in the grill to crisp up.

The filling can be anything you have available really, but this combination was really taste. We served ours with a few chips and some Lacto Fermented Red Cabbage.
