Curried Chicken Roll-Ups with Cucumber Tomato Salad

Curried Chicken roll-ups are easy to make and a great use for leftover rotisserie chicken. We like to have them with a cucumber tomato salad.

Lavash

We make these roll-ups with lavash. Lavash is a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flatbread. It is best served the day you purchase it as it dries out very quickly.

Lavash, a thin and versatile unleavened flatbread, serves as the foundation for the Curry Chicken Roll-ups. Its pliable nature allows for easy rolling, creating a perfect vessel to encapsulate the savory goodness within. As you savor each bite, the lavash unfolds a delightful balance of softness and slight crispness, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Curry Powder

The star of these roll-ups is undoubtedly the curry powder, a spice blend renowned for its rich and complex flavor profile. The aromatic combination of turmeric, coriander, cumin, and other spices imparts a warm and robust essence to the chicken filling, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your taste buds. The curry powder not only elevates the taste but also adds a touch of allure to the dish.

Curry Powder at Home – Make it Your Own

Curry powder is a spice mixture, not a spice on its own. It’s very easy to make with spices you probably already have in your spice rack.

Tomato Cucumber Salad

Complementing the Curry Chicken Roll-ups is the Tomato Cucumber Salad, featuring the succulence of Roma tomatoes and the crisp freshness of Persian cucumbers. Roma tomatoes, known for their firm texture and low moisture content, contribute a juicy sweetness that harmonizes with the savory elements of the roll-ups. Meanwhile, Persian cucumbers, with their thin skin and tender flesh, add a delightful crunch and a subtle hint of cucumber essence.

The marriage of Roma tomatoes and Persian cucumbers in the salad not only enhances the visual appeal with their vibrant colors but also introduces a burst of refreshing flavors that perfectly balances the spiciness of the curry-infused chicken. This dynamic duo brings a cool and hydrating element to the ensemble, making it an ideal pairing for those warm, summery days or any time you crave a light and refreshing side.

Spicy Globe Basil

Tomatoes love basil and basil loves tomatoes. This salad uses spicy globe basil, an heirloom variety of basil with tiny little leaves that pack a spicy punch. You don’t need much.

These plants do very well in a small container on your window sill. Plant a lot of them and use them as border or filler plants. Get seeds and plant them soon.

Instructions

Roll-Ups

• 1 cup Cooked chicken, 2 tablespoon spring onion, 1/2 cup flat Italian parsley, 1 teaspoon good curry powder, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  You can easily do this by hand, mixing the chicken, onion, parsley, curry, and mayonnaise. I put mine in a food processor and pulsed it four or five times until the mayonnaise was thoroughly incorporated.
• 4 leave Romaine lettuce, 1 slice Lavash
  Take the slice of Lavash1 and cut it half through the middle. On each piece, put two leaves of lettuce and half of the chicken mixture. Start rolling up the sandwich at the lettuce side tightly.
• When you have made both roll-ups, you can cut them on the diagonal or cut them into smaller slices for appetizers. Each half is more than enough for one person.

Cucumber Salad

• 2 Persian cucumbers, 1 Roma tomato
  The Persian cucumbers are the best for salads. They are crisper, more flavorful, and have thinner skin than the regular cucumber you buy in the market with their waxed skin. Find Persian cucumbers in Mediterranean markets.
• Put a bowl on something that will keep the bowl from moving when you are whisking. If not, find someone to hold the bowl (a child is a good choice).
• 1 teaspoon French mustard
  Put the mustard in the bowl with the leaves and mix. Add the vinegar and mix thoroughly.
• 1/4 cup Red Wine vinegar, 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive oil
  Now, take your whisk and slowly start adding the olive oil, a slow, slow drip while whisking (see, how helpful that child is?). When the oil and vinegar have emulsified, you can put the dressing on top of the cucumber and tomato and chill until ready to serve.
• 1 teaspoon Spicy Globe Basil
  Garnish with fresh globe basil leaves.

It’s Been a Hard Time

It’s been hard on me since Spane was diagnosed with Dandy-Walker Syndrome. I seem to think about nothing but that, I don’t want to clean my house, do laundry, cook, etc. I’m way behind. But, today, things are getting a little better. Things are looking up.

I love to find bargains. Last Wednesday night, after coming home from the Emergency Room after 8 hours of being there, and being starved, I stopped at Ralphs and got one of those rotisserie chickens. Spane didn’t feel like eating, I ate some of it, and so there was a lot left. So, tonight when I was thinking about what I could make on a hot night, I thought of that poor chicken sitting in a bag in the refrigerator.

We went to the local vegetable store and got some tomatoes and these lovely, long Persian cucumbers. I have never seen them so long and big! The Italian plum tomatoes were large, too, ripe and red and juicy. When I asked about bread, the proprietor pointed to the Lavash¹, and I thought that would be perfect for roll-ups.
