Chicken ballotine and carrot puree, finished with jus
I broke down a full chicken, roasted and reduced the bones from stock to jus, dry brined a breast and thigh for 24 hours, blended the thigh with mirepoix and crimini mushrooms, stuffed that into the breast, and seared it in the smaltz that was rendered while making the jus.
While the ballotine finished in the oven, I made my carrot puree and finished the jus with butter, thyme, and shallots. Plated with some micro greens.
Haha thanks; I wish I had a setup that nice but I'm just a home cook.
These sorts of dishes come together in about an hour with some preplanning. Once the ballotine is in the oven you've got enough time to do nearly everything else, then while it's resting you get the plating worked out. If you can roll a cigar and have a mayo lid handy you can make this no problem.
