Ingredients
Chicken salad
200gcooked chicken, diced
100gmushrooms, sliced
80gstreaky bacon
50gwhite asparagus from a jar, drained weight, cut into pieces
100mlcrème fraîche (18% fat)
50mlgood mayonnaise – I use Hellmann's
1tspDijon mustard
1tspwholegrain mustard – optional
1spring onion, finely sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Oil
Rösti waffles and garnish
16small frozen rösti potatoes, thawed
A little green garnish for the top
Instructions
Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the mushroom slices over a high heat until they are golden and the liquid they release has cooked off. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Leave them to cool on a plate – lined with a little kitchen paper if you like.
Cook the bacon until crisp in the oven, air fryer or a frying pan, then leave it to drain on a piece of kitchen paper.
Mix the crème fraîche, mayonnaise, Dijon and wholegrain mustard in a bowl and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Fold the chicken, asparagus, mushrooms and spring onion into the dressing. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Place the thawed rösti potatoes in a waffle maker and press them flat. Cook until golden and crisp.Continue until all the rösti are done, setting them aside on a wire rack as you go so they stay crisp.
Top the rösti waffles with a spoonful of chicken salad, then sprinkle with crumbled bacon and a little green garnish.
