Salad with Chicken, Mushrooms and Prunes
Grandma's salad with extraordinarily full flavour
We can't eat only biscuits... so here's a recipe for a salad with chicken, mushrooms, and prune! It's a real masterpiece from my beloved grandmother!
Ingredients:
- 150 g prune
- 400 g fresh mushrooms (champignon)
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 eggs
- 100 g cheese
- 1 fresh cucumber (medium)
- salt
- pepper
- oil for frying mushrooms
- mayonnaise
Process:
Preparation:
- boil the chicken breasts and cool them,
how to boil the chicken breast: put the chicken in one layer into the bottom of the pot and add some salt (you may also add garlic, pepper, other species); fill it with water and bring it to a boil; reduce heat to minimum, cover the pan; after 10 minutes the delicate chicken breast will be ready, but the thick one will need about 15 minutes to be ready; - boil eggs and cool them,
how to boil the eggs: place eggs into a large saucepan and cover them with cool water by 3 cm; bring water to a boil over medium heat; boil it for no more than 10 minutes or the yolk will become grey (that will ruin your presentation); put the cooked eggs into the pot with the cold water; - wash, cut, fry the mushrooms and cool them,
how to fry the mushrooms: cut mushrooms and put them on the frying pan, turn on the heat to medium, add salt and mix everything, salt will help the moisture to release quicker; wait until all the moister evaporates; add the oil and fry the mushrooms until golden brown; add some pepper to taste; - wash and cut the prune,
- cut the chicken into small bite-size pieces,
- grate the cheese,
- shell the eggs and grate them,
- grate the cucumber on the large grater and drain the liquid.
Put everything together:
Put (with even layers) the following ingredients in a wide, but not deep, dish:
- cut prune,
- fried mushrooms,
- chicken,
- mayonnaise (thin layer just to "fix" the chicken),
- grated cheese,
- mayonnaise (thin layer),
- grated eggs,
- mayonnaise (thin layer),
- grated cucumber.
Serving:
The salad should rest in a fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.Published , updated
