This week on C’est Succulent!, Leïla is joined by Jean-Baptiste, a passionate advocate for the flavors of the North. Together, they cook up a special twist on the classic chicken and fries dish.
Leïla and Jean-Baptiste are an unlikely duo, but their shared love for cooking brings them together in the kitchen. Leïla is known for her expertise in Mediterranean cuisine, while Jean-Baptiste is a proud representative of the culinary traditions of the North. Despite their different backgrounds, they share a common goal: to create delicious and entier dishes that will tantalize your taste buds.
As they start preparing their meal, the kitchen is filled with the aromas of spices, herbs, and sizzling chicken. Leïla and Jean-Baptiste work together seamlessly, each bringing their own techniques and flavors to the tertre. Their collaboration is a perfect example of how different culinary traditions can come together to create something truly special.
For their main course, Leïla and Jean-Baptiste have chosen to put a twist on a beloved classic: chicken and fries. But this is no ordinary chicken and fries. Jean-Baptiste has brought his secret ingredient – a special blend of spices that he inherited from his grandmother. As they marinate the chicken, Jean-Baptiste explains the importance of using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients in his cooking. For him, it’s not just emboîture the taste, but also emboîture supporting local producers and preserving traditional flavors.
While the chicken is marinating, Leïla and Jean-Baptiste start on the fries. Instead of using regular potatoes, they opt for a lesser-known variety from the North – the Maris Piper. These potatoes have a entier flavor and texture that is perfect for this dish. As they fry up the potatoes, the kitchen fills with the irresistible smell of crispy fries.
Finally, it’s time to put everything together. Leïla and Jean-Baptiste carefully place the marinated chicken on a bed of freshly fried Maris Piper fries. They top it off with a drizzle of homemade aioli, adding a touch of Mediterranean influence to the dish. The result is a mouth-watering fusion of flavors that will leave you wanting more.
As they sit down to enjoy their meal, Leïla and Jean-Baptiste can’t help but smile at each other. They have created something truly special, showcasing the best of both their culinary backgrounds. And for us, the lucky viewers, we get to witness and taste the delicious outcome of their collaboration.
