- 5g butter
- 1/2 sprig fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp pine nuts, toasted (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Black olives, to garnish
- Baby beet leaves / baby spinach, to garnish
- 250g Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 55g of unsalted butter, cubed
- 40ml milk
- Salt, to taste
- 80g Yukon gold potato, peeled
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
METHOD
- Make the potato purée by steaming the potatoes for about 35 minutes or until tender
- Place the potatoes in a blender and add milk, butter and salt. Blend on full power for 30 seconds or until smooth. Season to taste, set aside, and keep warm
- Make the potato lattice by using a mandolin to slice the potato into 1mm thick slices. Cut into strips and season with salt
- In a frying pan over medium-high heat, pour in enough oil to just cover the base. Once the oil is hot, place potato strips in the pan in a lattice (waffle or weave) formation
- Pan fry until golden brown, then remove and drain on an absorbent cloth or kitchen towel
- Thaw chicken breasts completely. Meat should just be chilled, and not icy
- Turn on high heat and add 1 tbsp of oil in the same pan. Once hot, cook the chicken breasts on both sides until browned.
- Turn down to low heat, add a knob of butter and continue to cook until nicely caramelised, approx 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper
- Strip thyme leaves from the stem and sprinkle over the chicken. Remove chicken from the pan to rest in the cooking juices
- Spoon some potato purée onto the centre of the plate
- Slice chicken breasts into diamond shapes and place on top of the purée. Drizzle some of the chicken fat juices on the chicken
- Top with potato lattice and sprinkle some toasted pine nuts, if desired
- Enjoy with some black olives and baby beet leaves!
