Description
To make this dish fully adhere to the classic Peruvian recipe, instead of regular chili paste, use paste made from yellow Peruvian peppers Aji Amarillo or Aji Mirasol, and instead of walnuts, use pecans. Cut the chicken breasts into very small pieces and after frying, simmer them in the prepared mixture of onion, bread, milk, broth, and grated cheese until thickened. An oven is not necessary in this case. Serve with boiled Peruvian rice or lentils.
Ingredients
- Milk - 8 fl oz
- Onion - 1 head
- Garlic - 2 cloves
- Turmeric - ½ teaspoon
- Vegetable Oil - 2 fl oz
- Chili jam - 1 fl oz
- Chicken Broth - 16 fl oz
- Grated Pecorino Pepato Cheese - 2.1 oz
- Walnuts - ½ piece
- Stale Bread - 4 pieces
- Skin-On Chicken Breasts - 4 pieces
- Quail Egg - 8 pieces
- Salt - 1½ teaspoons
- Ground Black Pepper - ½ teaspoon
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Boil the quail eggs hard, rinse them with cold water, and peel them.
Step 2
Soak 4 slices of stale white sandwich bread in milk. Once the bread softens, crush it with a fork and mix it with the milk to create a smooth puree.
Step 3
In a heavy skillet, heat 22.5 ml of oil and add finely chopped onion, garlic, turmeric, and a quarter teaspoon of salt. Sauté until the onion becomes soft. Then add the chili paste, bread puree, and continue cooking for 3-5 minutes while stirring constantly.
Step 4
When the mixture in the skillet thickens, pour in the broth, add grated Parmesan, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to a blender, add the walnuts, and puree until smooth. (This will take about 1 minute.) Pour the puree back into a medium-sized pot and keep warm.
Step 6
Without separating the skin and bones, cut the chicken breasts in half, rub with salt (1 teaspoon) and black pepper (½ teaspoon), and fry in a skillet with vegetable oil (1 tablespoon for 4 halves). Cook each batch of breasts for no more than 8 minutes.
Step 7
Place the fried chicken breasts in a baking dish and send them to an oven preheated to 374°F for 15 minutes.
Step 8
Serve the cooked breasts with halved quail eggs, the prepared sauce, lime wedges, and pitted black olives.
