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…...

Bean & Beef Burger

We generally just add Salt & Pepper to our Beef when we make a Monster Burger. But we’ve become fans of Rosecoco Beans recently and thought we’d have a play. Soaked, boiled and roasted they are very versatile. So….

Ingredients:-

100g Rosecoco beans, soaked in water over night
250g Minced Beef
Salad, Tomatoes, sliced Gherkins etc.
Cheese
Gluten free DIY bun
DIY Thousand Island Dressing

Realistically the recipe is more about the Burger than the other fillings, add whatever you fancy.

Burger Method:-

(1) Boil your Rosecoco beans in salted water for 20 minutes and drain.
(2) Add to an oven traywith a little Oil and Salt and roast at 180c until they are crispy.
(3) Set aside to cool on kitchen paper.
(4) Blitz in a food processor to a reasonably fine consistency.
(5) Mix the Bean crumb with your mince by hand.
(6) Form into burgers to suit the shape of your bun.
(7) Grill your burgers and gently flip until cooked through.
(8) Assemble your Monster Burger.

The roasted Beans added a great Peanut taste to the burger and effectively doubled the volume. Because the Beans are high in protein they also work well as a binding agent.
