Portii: 4

Timp de preparare: 50 minute

Mod de preparare friptura:

Pieptul de pui sau pulpa se spala si se tapeteaza cu hartie de bucatarie (pentru a elimina excesul de apa).  Intr-o tigaie se pune untul si uleiul. Cand untul s-a topit se adauga carnea. Lasati carnea pana capata o tenta aurie. Adaugati o cana cu apa, pasta de tomate, cimbru, foaia de dafin, sare si piper. Taiati morcovul rondele si puneti-l printre bucatile de carne. Acoperiti totul cu un capac si lasati carnea la foc mediu. Din 10 in 10 minute puteti sa intoarceti felii de carne. Cand carnea este aproape rumenita si apa a scazut adaugati usturoiul dat prin presa. Mai lasati cateva minute. Scoateti foaia de dafin si cimbrul. Puteti sa serviti friptura alaturi de muraturi.

Mod de preparare piure:

Cartofii se curata de coaja si se spala. Intr-o oala adaugati apa rece cat sa acopere cartofii. Adaugati ½ lingurita de sare. Lasati cartofii sa fiarba pana cand sunt bine patrunsi cu o furculita. Scurgeti apa de la cartofi. Cartofii se dau prin presa pentru cartofi. Separat intr-o oala puneti la fiert: laptele, rozmarinul, nucsoara si usturoiul dat prin presa. Lasati pe foc pana cand laptele incepe sa fiarba. Pentru a elimina rozmarinul si usturoiul, scurgeti laptele printr-o sita. Peste cartofii dati prin presa se va adauga: untul care este moale, laptele, sare si piper. Mixati totul cu un tel pana cand piureul capata o textura cremoasa. Separat se taie marunt o legatura de marar si una de ceapa verde. Peste piure adaugati mararul si ceapa verde.

Ingredients for the roast:

• 600 grams of boneless chicken breast or thighs;

• 1 carrot, sliced into rounds;

• 50 grams of butter;

• 3-4 garlic cloves (pressed);

• salt;

• ground pepper and whole peppercorns;

• 1 bay leaf;

• thyme;

• 1 tablespoon of tomato paste;

• oil for frying;

• ½ bunch of dill (optional for garnish).

Ingredients for the mashed potatoes:

• 6-8 large potatoes;

• salt;

• pepper;

• 100 grams of soft butter;

• rosemary;

• a pinch of nutmeg;

• 3 garlic cloves;

• 1 bunch of green onion;

• 1 bunch of dill;

• 200 mL of milk.

Servings: 4

Preparation time: 50 minutes

Method of preparation for the roast:

Wash the chicken breast or thighs and pat them dry with kitchen paper to remove excess water. In a pan, add the butter and oil. Once the butter has melted, add the meat. Cook the meat until it turns golden brown. Add a cup of water, the tomato paste, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Slice the carrot into rounds and place them among the pieces of meat. Cover everything with a lid and cook over medium heat. Turn the meat slices every 10 minutes.

When the meat is nearly golden and the water has reduced, add the pressed garlic. Let it cook for a few more minutes. Remove the bay leaf and thyme. Serve the roast alongside pickles, if desired.

Method of preparation for the mashed potatoes:

Peel and wash the potatoes. Add them to a pot with enough cold water to cover them. Add ½ teaspoon of salt. Boil the potatoes until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain the water from the potatoes and mash them using a potato masher.

In a separate pot, bring the milk, rosemary, nutmeg, and pressed garlic to a boil. Once the milk starts boiling, strain it through a sieve to remove the rosemary and garlic. Add the soft butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix everything with a whisk until the mashed potatoes have a creamy texture.

Separately, finely chop the dill and green onion. Add them to the mashed potatoes before serving.
