Method: |
1. |
For the Mushroom Broth: Scald the
whole chicken in hot boiling water, then place in a double-boiler
together with the ganoderma mushrooms, cordyceps, cured
ham and water. Cover and bring liquid to a boil, reduce
heat and allow to simmer for about 4 hours. |
2. |
For the Stuffed Zucchini Flower: Heat olive oil
in a pot and sauté 60g of the King Oyster mushrooms.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and then set aside.
Mix the minced chicken meat with egg white and fresh cream
in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and continue whisking
until light and fluffy. Add in the sautéed King Oyster
mushrooms. Adjust seasoning. Fill a piping bag with this
mixture and pipe it into the zucchini flowers. Poach the
stuffed zucchini flowers in some broth in a pre-heated oven.
|
3. |
For the Potato and Veal Jus: Warm the veal jus
in a pot; then add the prepared Mushroom Broth and bring
the liquid to a boil. Add in the soaked dehydrated potatoes
and allow to simmer until they are tender. |
4. |
For the King Oyster Mushrooms: Sauté the
remaining King Oyster mushrooms with some Dandaragan Estate
Olive Oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. |
|
To Serve:
Spoon some sautéed King Oyster mushrooms onto
the center of a serving plate. Top with poached stuffed zucchini
flower and spoon some potato and veal jus over. Garnish with parsley
leaves.
