Chicken And Egg Salad With Curried Mayonnaise And Toasted Hazeln Food

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and dice the chicken into large bite-size pieces.
• For the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth.
• Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Add the cashews and serve at room temperature.

EGG SALAD WITH TOASTED CORIANDER

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with ice and plenty of cool water. Put the eggs in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover the eggs by 1 inch [2.5 centimeters]. Bring just to a boil over medium-low heat, and immediately remove from the heat. Let sit, for 5 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them in the ice bath to shock them and stop the cooking. Let cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs under running water, then coarsely chop.
• Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coriander seeds and toast until fragrant, swirling the seeds occasionally so they toast evenly, 30 to 45 seconds. Transfer to a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and grind to a coarse powder.
• Put the ground coriander in a medium bowl and add the eggs, mayonnaise, garlic, chile, chives, capers, salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Mash with a potato masher and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
• Divide the egg salad among four slices of bread, spreading it out to cover. Top each one with another slice of bread, cut in half if you like, and serve.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F [200 degrees C]. Peel off and discard most of the outer layer of papery skin on the garlic, and cut off the top quarter of the bulb. Put the garlic on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it. Rub or brush with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt. Wrap in the foil and roast until the cloves feel soft and tender when pricked with a knife, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, carefully unwrap the foil and cool, about 15 to 20 minutes. To use, squeeze the cloves from their skins. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
