Tuscan Lemon Hen is a gluten-free, flippantly battered rooster topped with child greens and a shiny lemon French dressing.
I had a model of this rooster at a Trattoria Sostanza in Florence years again and was blown away at their well-known butter rooster dish. After our meal, the chef allowed me to return into the kitchen and watch them put together this dish.
So, that is my fast, home made and gluten-free model of their recipe!
For the pan-fried battered rooster, you’ll want rooster breasts, finely floor almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot flour, gelatin, eggs, salt and pepper, butter and olive oil.
This mixture of flours and seasonings is a implausible gluten-free various to white flour.
The brilliant, lemony salad goes on prime and for this you’ll want lemons, dijon, salt and pepper, olive oil, child romaine, and tomatoes.
I really like that it is a one-plate meal and could be placed on the desk in beneath half-hour!
After we dredge rooster, often we put it within the eggs first after which the flour, however for this recipe, it’s reversed. You place it within the flour first and then the eggs.
The fried rooster has a crisp exterior and tastes so great with the lemon within the viniagrette.
Listed here are some fashionable rooster recipes on my web site that you simply may take pleasure in!
