[Breast of Chicken in Chaud-jroid with Diced Vegetables]
...this is a variation of the master recipe...
VEGAN SUPRÊMES DE VOLAILLE EN CHAUD-FROID, BLANCHE NEIGE...
...so I started by making my vegan Suprêmes ...just by carving them out of a block of tofu...
...and I air-fried those for a bit...I'll just prefer the little bit firmer texture of the tofu cutlets this way...but you can poach them or use seitan or a store-bought vegan chicken if you want...
...then you sauté some carrots, celery and onions in some vegan butter...Julia has you cook the mushrooms separately...but I did not...I just cooked all of the veg together...
...then you add the veg to the cream sauce as it reduces...
...and that's it...Julia says it will need no other decoration...
...spoon that over the vegan chicken...
...we served it as a luncheon dish...quite simply with a salad made of fresh garden lettuce...I was going to make some chard from the garden...but I remember reading somewhere that you don't serve warm sides with a chaud-froid...
...and of course it was pretty delicious...
Substitutions:
Vegan cream for the cream...I just used almond milk...
Tofu for the chicken
Earth Balance for the butter
Vegeta for the chicken broth
