Lowcountry Egg Rolls
Ingredients:
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups yellow onion -- julienne
4 teaspoons garlic -- minced
1 pound boneless chicken -- cut in strips
1 cup tasso -- cut in small strips
2 cups packed, cooked collards -- chopped and drained
8 egg roll skins
2 teaspoons cold water
2 tablespoon cornstarch for sealing
1 cup cornstarch for dusting
peanut oil for frying
nuoc nam -- optional ;-)
Instructions:
Heat olive oil. Add onion, garlic, chicken and Tasso. Sauté until
chicken is cooked. Squeeze all the juice from the collard greens and
add them. Cook 1-2 minutes. Pour into colander and drain. Spread mixture
out and let cool. Squeeze out mixture in a towel. The drier the better.
Lay the egg roll wrappers on a clean, dry surface dusted lightly with
corn starch, setting them up in a diamond pattern. Portion 3/4 cup
filling onto each wrapper. Mix 2 Tbs. cornstarch in a bowl with cold
water to make a paste. Lightly brush edges of each wrapper with paste.
Fold bottom diamond up. Then the sides. Then the top. Lightly dust
to keep them dry. Fry at 340F until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Donald Barickman serves these with a roasted red pepper sauce, spicy
mustard, and peach chutney. I used my favorite habanero-mango sauce.
