Cooking
Step 1
1. Wash the quince, cut into quarters, remove the core. * It is not necessary to peel the fruits from the skin, because during heat treatment it will become softer. And besides, thanks to the skin, quince slices will retain their shape. But be sure to remove the seeds, they contain toxic substances. 2. Cut the quince into thin slices. Lower for 1 min. into boiling water, then drain in a colander and pour cold water over. 3. Wash chicken fillet, dry. Trim the edges, giving the pieces the shape of a regular rectangle. Make several deep transverse cuts on each piece. 4. Insert a slice of quince into each incision. Roll the fillet into a roll, quince outward. Salt, pepper and drizzle with vegetable oil. 5. Preheat the oven to 200ºС. Wrap each roll in foil to form a ball. Put on a baking sheet, put it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. 6. Prepare the sauce. Put in a saucepan all that is left of the quince, except for the seeds. Add wine and sugar. Boil over high heat until the volume of the sauce is reduced by 3 times. Add butter, stir. Pass the sauce through a sieve. Carefully remove the foil, transfer the chicken balls to a dish and pour over the sauce. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.
