Potato cakes made entirely by John ;) ..In terms of compatibility of these two dishes, if you ask me, they might be too individual tastes, which do not necessarily benefit each other. This would make me think of Circassian Chicken as a cold starter dish, although it is very good hot as well, just what do you garnish it with..
Circassian Chicken With Potato Cakes
2 onions, quartered
1 carrot, sliced
6 peppercorns
3 slices bread, crusts removed
2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
2 cups chopped walnuts
salt, ground black pepper and paprika
1) Place the chicken into a large pan with onions, carrot and peppercorns, add water to cover, bring to a boil and simmer uncovered until chicken is tender. Let it cool in the stock to keep it succulent. Remove any bones.
2) Tear up the bread and soak in 6 tablespoons stock. Transfer to blender with garlic and walnuts. Add 1 cup of stock and blend until smooth.
3) Over low heat, gradually add more stock stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over chicken pieces placed into oven dish. Sprinkle paprika and bake at 200 degrees Celcius just to warm through.
This is equally good cold as it is hot.
For Potato Cakes, you will need to mix 2 large baking potatoes with 50g feta cheese, some spring onion, chopped fresh dill, teaspoon lemon juice and some beaten egg (1 will be little too much). Season and form slightly flattened balls, pat with flour. Fry them over high heat in little olive oil, then drain on paper towels and serve!
