Best 5 Callaloo Chicken Roulade Recipes

CALLALOO (REAL TRINI STYLE)...CARIBBEAN

Steps:

• Separate leaves from stems. Thoroughly wash leaves and strip the stems. Tear leaves apart with hands into smaller pieces. Chop stems into about 2 inches length.
• Add all the ingredients into a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then allow to simmer for 20 mins or until the okra seeds turn pink.
• Taste and season with salt & pepper if necessary.
• When the callaloo is done the leaves and okras should be tender and there should be enough liquid to blend the ingredients. If not add a little warm water to bring to a soup consistency.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Remove the pork tails before blending.
• Using a hand blender, blend the callaloo until all the ingredients are pureed.
• Store in a clean pot with pork tails and reheat before serving.
• Serve with rice, stewed Caribbean chicken, potato salad, boiled provisions, cole slaw, pigeon peas and macaroni pie.

CHICKEN ROULADE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Place parsley, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Coat a small saute pan with cooking spray. Heat the pan to medium; saute garlic and broccoli rabe, until garlic is translucent and broccoli rabe has wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Add to food processor, and pulse to combine. Add the ricotta; process until combined. Set aside.
• Place one of the chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound evenly until the breast is a scant 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining breasts. Spread 3 to 4 tablespoons of filling in an even layer on each breast. Roll up the breasts, and secure rolls with a wooden skewer or toothpick.
• Coat a large skillet with a heatproof handle with cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat. Place chicken breasts in the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, about 3 minutes total. Place skillet in oven, and cook until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees, about 13 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet, and set aside. Place skillet on top of stove over medium-high heat; add wine, and reduce liquid by half, about 1 minute, scraping skillet with a wooden spoon to dislodge any cooked-on bits. Strain liquid into a small pitcher. Cut rolled chicken crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Serve warm with reserved sauce.

CALLALOO

Steps:

• In a covered soup pot, saute the onions and garlic in the oil on low heat for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add the ginger, turmeric, coriander, thyme, and allspice and saute for another minute, stirring to prevent sticking.
• Stir in the water or stock, add the sweet potatoes, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the callaloo or kale. (If you are using spinach, do not add it yet.) Add the okra and simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, lime juice, salt and spinach, if you are using it, and cook for another 3 or 4 minutes, until all of the vegetables are tender. Add more salt or lime juice to taste and stir in the coconut milk, if you like.

CHICKEN ROULADE

Steps:

• Place the spinach in a large nonstick skillet with the washing water clinging to the leaves or a tablespoon or two of water if dried. Cover and cook for 2 minutes, tossing occasionally, or until wilted. Drain and press firmly with the back of a spoon or squeeze to remove excess moisture. There should be 1/2 cup spinach. Wipe out the skillet.
• Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, combine the onion, 1 teaspoon oil, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon water. Turn the heat to medium. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the onion sizzles. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, stirring once, for about 3 minutes, or until softened. In a small bowl, combine the onion mixture, cheese, and spinach. Stir to mix. Set aside.
• Sprinkle the tomatoes evenly on the smooth side of the cutlets.
• Divide the spinach mixture among the cutlets. Spread to the edges of 3 sides, leaving about 1" at the narrow tip free of spinach mixture. Loosely roll up the chicken, ending with the narrow tip, and secure with wooden picks.
• Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the large skillet and set over medium heat. Place the chicken in the pan. Cook, turning, for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides. Add the broth or wine, cover, and cook over low heat for about 7 minutes. Uncover and transfer chicken to a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.
• Boil the skillet juices for about 5 minutes, or until reduced to a glaze. Diagonally slice the chicken into 1"-thick pieces. Drizzle with pan juices and serve.

CHICKEN TOULOUSE ROULADE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
• Cover a (rolled out) chicken thigh with a couple of pieces of cling film and clobber until flattened / slightly larger surface area (until the width of the chicken is about the same as the length of the sausage).
• Take a rasher/slice of bacon/pancetta and lay out on a copping board - if using streaky bacon you may need to run the back of a knife across it to make it wider and longer. Or you may need to use 2 rashers per thigh, depending on the product.
• Lay a boned thigh on the bacon (outside to the bacon, where the bone was, facing up).
• Spread 1/6 of the pate into the centre half of the thigh.
• Place a sausage across the pate and roll up tightly, ensuring that the bacon ends overlap each other over the 'join'. (You may need to secure with toothpicks).
• Repeat for the other 5 thighs.
• Place roulades on a tray/oven-proof dish and bake for 20-30 minutes or until browned and juices run clear.
• Remove from the oven and leave to stand for 5-10 minutes.
• Slice each roulade into 1cm thick slices and serve.
