Tuscan Lemon Rooster is a gluten-free, frivolously battered hen topped with child greens and a vivid lemon French dressing.
I had a model of this hen at a Trattoria Sostanza in Florence years again and was blown away at their well-known butter hen dish. After our meal, the chef allowed me to come back into the kitchen and watch them put together this dish.
So, that is my fast, do-it-yourself and gluten-free model of their recipe!
For the pan-fried battered hen, you’ll want hen breasts, finely floor almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot flour, gelatin, eggs, salt and pepper, butter and olive oil.
This mix 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 may be placed on the desk in below half-hour!
After we dredge hen, normally we put it within the eggs first after which the flour, however for this recipe, it’s reversed. You set it within the flour first and then the eggs.
The fried hen has a crisp exterior and tastes so fantastic with the lemon within the viniagrette.
