CURRIED CHICKEN AND WILD RICE STRUDEL



Curried Chicken and Wild Rice Strudel image

Categories     Chicken     Rice     Bake     Sauté     Raisin     Cashew     Curry     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup wild rice, rinsed
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 teaspoons curry powder
1 whole skinless boneless chicken breast, halved and pounded between sheets of plastic wrap to a 1/2-inch thickness
2 tablespoons dry white wine, dry vermouth, or water
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Major Grey's chutney, the solids chopped, plus additional chutney as an accompaniment
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1/4 cup dry-roasted cashews, chopped
1/4 cup golden raisins, plumped in hot water to cover for 10 minutes and drained
six 18-by 14-inch sheets of phyllo, stacked between 2 sheets of wax paper and covered with a dampened kitchen towel
10 teaspoons fine dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan cook the wild rice in 8 cups boiling salted water for 5 minutes, remove the pan from the heat, and let the rice stand for 1 hour. Drain the rice in a large sieve and in the pan cook it in 6 cups boiling salted water for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it is tender. Drain the rice in the sieve and let it cool in a large bowl.
  • In a small skillet melt 1 tablespoon of the butter with 1 teaspoon of the curry powder over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in it sauté the chicken, patted dry and seasoned with salt and pepper, for 30 seconds on each side. Add the wine, vermouth, or water and cook the chicken, covered with a round of buttered wax paper and the lid, over moderately low heat for 5 minutes, or until it is just cooked through. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the chicken cool.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of the chutney, 1 teaspoon of the remaining curry powder, the lemon juice, and the pan juices from the chicken. Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch dice, stir it well into the rice with the cashews, the raisins, the sauce, and salt and pepper to taste, and let the filling cool. The filling may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a small saucepan melt the remaining 5 tablespoons butter with the remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder. On a work surface arrange two 20-inch-long sheets of wax paper with the long sides overlapping slightly and facing you. Put 1 sheet of the phyllo on the wax paper, brush it with some of the curry butter, and sprinkle it with 2 teaspoons of the bread crumbs. On this, layer, brush, and sprinkle 4 more sheets of the phyllo in the same manner and lay the sixth sheet of phyllo on top.
  • Spread the filling in a 3-inch wide strip, mounding it on the phyllo 4 inches above the near long side, leaving a 2-inch border at each end. Using the wax paper as a guide, lift the bottom 4 inches of the pastry over the filling, fold in the ends, and roll up the strudel tightly. Transfer the strudel carefully, seam side down, to a lightly buttered baking sheet, brush it with the remaining curry butter, and bake it in the lower third of the oven for 25 minutes, or until it is golden. Let the strudel cool to warm on the baking sheet on a rack. The strudel may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered loosely and chilled. Reheat the strudel in a preheated 400°F. oven for 15 minutes. Serve the strudel warm, cut into 1-inch slices with a serrated knife, with the additional chutney.

Categories     Salad     Chicken     Leafy Green     Rice     Mango     Curry     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the dressing
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
3 tablespoons bottled mango chutney
2/3 cup olive oil
3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons water
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh coriander
For the wild rice mixture
2 1/2 cups wild rice, rinsed
6 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch of scallions including the green part, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1 cup golden raisins
6 whole smoked boneless chicken breast
3 cups mâche (lamb's-lettuce), washed well and spun dry

Steps:

  • Make the dressing:
  • In a blender or food processor blend the garlic, the vinegar, the lemon juice, the curry powder, the chutney, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth. With the motor running add the oil in a stream, add the sour cream and the water, adding additional water if necessary to reach the desired consistency, and blend the dressing until it is combined well.

Transfer the wild rice to a large bowl and add the vinegar, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss the mixture well and let it cool completely. The wild rice mixture may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Stir in the scallions and the raisins.

Spoon the wild rice mixture onto one side of a large shallow serving dish, arrange the chicken on the other half, and arrange the mâche decoratively down the middle. Serve the dressing separately.
