Tacchino con porri e melagrana

This is a recipe that I had found longtime ago in the Italian online forum Le Malvestite: the blog was about (bad) trends – it is kind of the Italian version of Go Fug Yourself – but for I don’t know which reason most threads in the forum are about food.

tacchino

Turkey escalopes with leek and pomegranate (serves 2):

300 gr. turkey breast

2 leeks

butter

flour

XV olive oil

pomegranate

Slice the leeks (keep some of the green part), boil them for maximum 10 minutes,then sauté the leeks with butter. Season with salt and pepper, cover with lid, and simmer for 10 more minutes.

Butterfly the turkey breast, coat the escalopes with flour, and then brown them in a frying pan with some butter, salt and pepper.

Blend the leeks with some of their cooking water and a little XV olive oil.

Arrange the leeks mousse on a plate, lay the meat on it, and decorate with pomegranate arils.

Buon appetito!
