Surf and turf with purple potato

Surf and turf with purple potato

This week, CETT is preparing a classic recipe with a personal twist: a surf and turf dish with chicken and prawns, accompanied by a purple potato purée. Shall we cook?

(Sofrito)

1kg onion

100g of it

200ml oil

100g ripe tomato

Shall

Dice the onion and garlic. Sauté in oil until translucent, then add the grated tomato. Let it evaporate and caramelize. Set aside.

(Sea and mountain)

250ml dark chicken stock

200ml red fumet

500g chicken (thighs)

100g gamba

100g onion

50g ripe tomato

5g It

Pepper

Shall

Clean the prawns. Set aside.

Separate the chicken thighs from the drumsticks. Shape the lower part of the bird into a sort of "lollipop" and debone and truss the upper part. Season with salt and pepper and sear these pieces in oil. Let them cool. Place them in a vacuum bag, add the beef stock and fish fumet, and cook at 90°C for 3 hours. Set the chicken aside. Combine the cooked chicken with the previously prepared sofrito and reduce. Strain and set aside.

(Purple potato puree)

500g purple potato

1 liter of water

Shall

Pepper

Clean and peel the potatoes. Cut and boil, starting with cold water. Remove and mash. Adjust the salt and pepper. Set aside.

Place a little mashed potato at the bottom of the plate. Place a couple of pieces of chicken (thigh and drumstick) in the center and brush with the previously reduced sauce.
