Instructions for Basic Chicken Velvet

Chicken Velvet, known also as Chicken Essence, is an elegant and festive dish. It calls for chicken breast (skinned, boned and minced to a pulp) to be combined with egg whites and then either sauteed in oil or poached briefly in a rich concentrated stock. The basic preparation includes the following steps: 1. Skin and bone the chicken breast; then pound flat with a mallet or the side of a cleaver. 2. Cut the meat in 1-inch cubes; then mince or grind in any of the following ways: a. Mince on a hardwood cutting board, removing tendons. b. Grind in a mortar and pestle. Remove tendons. c. Blend at low speed in a blender, turning the motor on and off. Remove and discard gristle that attaches to blades. d. Run twice through a hand grinder (set at the finest setting). Remove gristle. 3. During the mincing or grinding above, add about 1 tablespoon of water, a drop at a time, to give the mixture a paste-like consistency. (Sherry may be used in place of water.) 4. Beat the egg whites until fluffy, but not stiff and dry; then fold into chicken mixture. From , ISBN 0-517-65870-4. Downloaded from Glens MM Recipe Archive, http://www.erols.com/hosey.
