 | 1 Cooked chicken (1.8 KG) |
 | 2 eggs |
 | 5 rounded tablespoons caster sugar |
 | 6 tablespoons tarragon vinegar |
 | Salt and freshly ground black pepper |
 | 150 ml double cream |
 | 500 gr. cherries, stoned |
 | Finely chopped parsley |
|
Put the
eggs and caster sugar together in a bowl and put the bowl over a saucepan of gently
simmering water. Beat the eggs until they are thick and pale. Remove the bowl from the
heat and continue beating, adding the vinegar gradually, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
At this stage you can put the tarragon dressing in a sealed container and keep it in the
refrigerator for at least a week. Strip the flesh off the cooked chicken and cut into pieces at
neatly as possible. Discard the skin and bones.
Whip the cream and fold it together
with the tarragon dressing. Mix together the stoned berries, the tarragon cream and the
chicken and put the salad on a flat plate or shallow serving dish. Sprinkle some finely
chopped parsley over the surface. |
