Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken with Vegetables

Rub the chicken with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the garlic. Season well. Slice fillet length wise, half way to form a pocket. Insert cheese and fresh herbs. Wrap fillet with prosciutto to encase filling and tie with kitchen string if desired. This can be prepared earlier and left to marinate or freeze for later use. Place fillet onto greased universal tray. Layer vegetables around circumference of the chicken. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice and seasoning as desired. Insert MultiPoint Meat Probe into thickest part of chicken and place in oven on Shelf Level 3. Select oven function CircoRoasting® at 180°C with a medium level of steam. Plug Meat Probe into oven and select core temperature 75°C for the chicken. Allow the chicken to rest before slicing the chicken diagonally. While the chicken is resting the vegetables can stay on the tray. Simply return the vegetables on the universal tray to the oven for a further 5 minutes to crisp by turning the steam off and continuing on CircoRoast to achieve desired result. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Gourmet Moussaka

Day 1 Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Sauté the carrot, onion, celery, cinnamon stick and bay leaves for 10 minutes on a low heat. Turn up the heat and add the meat. Brown on both sides for 5 minutes and pour in the wine. Simmer for 2 minutes and add the beef stock. Allow to simmer uncovered for 3-4 hours, over a very low heat, checking occasionally in case it needs more liquid. Once the meat can be shredded with a fork, add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Stir and reduce until all the liquid has evaporated for approx. 30 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves. Shred the meat with a fork once it has cooled. Slice 5 of the eggplants and put into a colander standing in the sink, sprinkling each layer with a bit of the coarse salt. Leave them for 30 minutes so some of the bitter juice drains from the eggplants. Rinse the eggplants thoroughly and dry with a tea towel. Fry the eggplants in olive oil in a frying pan in batches until browned on both sides. Remove each batch from the pan when ready and place on a bed of kitchen paper to absorb as much oil as possible overnight. Day 2 Blacken the 2 remaining eggplants over a naked flame, turning them every couple of minutes to blacken evenly, until the skins split, in order for the flavour to become deliciously smoky. Once cool, peel off the blackened skin (using a knife and kitchen paper or under running tap water). Chop finely. Heat the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and stir to make a roux. Add the milk gradually, stirring constantly. Once the béchamel has thickened, add salt, pepper and nutmeg and stir. Add most of the grated cheese, stir and then tip in the chopped smoky eggplants. Mix thoroughly. In a large roasting pan, put a layer of fried eggplants, then a layer of ragu, and repeat until finished. Finally pour the béchamel over the top, sprinkle with grated cheese and a pinch of grated nutmeg and put on the middle rack of a preheated oven on CircoTherm at 180° C. Cook for approx. 50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for at least half an hour before serving. Traditionally, moussaka is accompanied with Greek feta cheese and a glass of rosé or red wine.

Glazed Christmas Ham

Place the cinnamon, cardamom and fennel seeds in a medium saucepan and dry roast the spices over Induction level 8 or FlameSelect® level 9 for 5 minutes or until aromatic.
