quick and tasty

Wash the potatoes and place them in a large pot. Fill with enough water to lightly cover the potatoes. Add 3 tablespoons of coarse sea salt and cook the potatoes, covered, for about 20-25 minutes. Cut the chicken breast fillet into eight equal pieces, wash, pat dry, and flatten slightly. Season generously with herb sea salt. Sear on all sides in a little vegetable oil or clarified butter, then finish cooking over low heat. Cut the ciabatta rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Mix the softened butter with the extra virgin olive oil using a fork. Press the garlic clove through a press, add to the butter, and stir. Generously spread the butter on each roll half. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan). Wash the tomato and cut into eight slices. Wash the bell pepper and cut into eight slices. Halve the Gouda slices. Arrange the breast fillet on each roll half. Place a slice of bell pepper and tomato on top, then top with half a slice of Gouda cheese. Sprinkle with basil. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes. While the ciabatta is sizzling in the oven, drain the potatoes and return them to the stovetop. Let the remaining water evaporate. This will create a fine salt crust on the potatoes, and the skin will become a little wrinkled. If it doesn’t wrinkle, don’t worry. Place the finished ciabatta on a plate and serve the potatoes with it. I always serve it with mojo rojo or mojo verde.
