Chuzo desgranado - International Kitchen

In this international kitchen post we fly back to the lovely country Colombia!

As the last recipe was really successful our Colombian friend decided to make us a new recipe: Chuzo desgranado.

This plate is typical in the coast where he is from. At first when he told us the recipe we thought it was really complicated but at the end it was easy to make and really tasty :)

Here we share his knowledge he left us with this delicious plate.

RECIPE

Chuzo desgranado

INGREDIENTS:

• A couple of chicken breasts
• Lettuce
• 4 potatoes
• Tartar sauce, pineapple sauce or cocktail sauce (depends on each one)
• 2 cups of cornflour and 2 cups of hot water (for making the "bollo limpio")
• 2 cups of corn
• Sunflower oil for frying the chips
• Grated cheese 

DIRECTIONS:

First of all we will have to make the "bollo limpio" that is made by mixing two cups of cornflour and two cups of hot water. We mix this two ingredients in a bowl and we gently mass it until it gets all well mixed.

Now we will grab foil paper and make large tubes of this "bollo" mix. We will wrap them with the foil paper and put them into a boiling pot. We will left them in there until we can feel that the dough is harder and one good sign is to see that the foil paper is getting burned (like burned color, don't call the firefighters yet!).

We let them cool a little bit and we cut them into small pieces.

Meanwhile the bollo is being done we can prepare the rest of the ingredients!

We will cut the lettuce into large pieces but in vertical not horizontal as we would do it with the normal salad.

try to do them as long as you can so it looks prettier

Fry the chicken with a bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper; once done we separate it.

For making the chips it's another world, we will have to peel the potatoes and then grate them so we will end up with small thin pieces of the chips. Then we will fry them into sunflower oil as we would do for any other fried chip.

this is how will the grated potatoes

Once we have everything done it's time to make the plate :P

At the first place we will place the bollo and the lettuce in the bottom of the plate like if it was a bed for the rest of the food.

Then we will put the chicken over it and then the corn and chips we have fried.

Once everything is in the plate we will add some grated cheese and the sauce.

cocktail sauce...

... and parmesan cheese were our election

It looks like it's a lot of work but it's really tasty!!!
