Ingredients

- 150-200 g chicken breast
- 7 slices of bacon
- 1 sheet of nori (seaweed)
- 3-4 slices of turkey ham
- 50 g red beetroot
- 3 slices of processed cheese
- Wasabi, to taste
- 2 strips of red bell pepper and 2 strips of green bell pepper
- 100 g spinach
- 100 g rice
- 100 g carrot
- 30 g parmesan
- 3 capers
- 1 spinach stick (for decoration)
- Red peppercorns, for decoration
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 1 small celery
- 6-7 drops of cognac
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Garlic, to taste

Preparation

Step 1: Preparing the vegetable soup and rice
Start by peeling the root vegetables (carrot and celery) and the onion. Cut them into large cubes and boil them in a pot with salted water. These vegetables will form the base of the soup that will be used to cook the rice. After boiling for 15-20 minutes, strain them and keep the broth. In another pot, add the washed and cleaned rice in a 1:3 ratio with the vegetable broth. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, then let it cool.

Step 2: Preparing the chicken rolls
Meanwhile, prepare the chicken breast. Gently pound it between two sheets of plastic until you achieve a thin and even slice. Season with salt, pepper, and drizzle 6-7 drops of cognac for extra flavor. Lay the slices of bacon over the chicken breast, followed by the nori sheet, sliced beetroot, turkey ham, a few dots of wasabi (to taste), the strips of bell pepper, and the processed cheese. Carefully roll the chicken breast to form a roll, ensuring all ingredients are well wrapped.

Step 3: Frying and baking
Heat a pan with olive oil and fry the chicken roll on all sides until golden. Then, transfer it to a preheated oven at 180°C and let it bake for 20 minutes. This process will ensure a tender and juicy texture.

Step 4: Preparing the purees
Meanwhile, prepare the purees.
- Carrot puree: Boil the peeled carrots until soft, then mash them with butter, a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of sugar, and toasted black sesame.
- Spinach puree: If using frozen spinach, thaw it in warm water, then boil it briefly. Squeeze out the water, chop finely, and sauté in a pan with a cube of butter and a little olive oil. Add crushed garlic and season with salt and pepper.
- Red bell pepper puree: Roast the red bell pepper, peel it, tear it into strips, and blend until you achieve a smooth mixture.

Step 5: Plating
Remove the roll from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Use a triangular mold to plate the dish. Layer the spinach puree, rice, carrot puree, and red bell pepper puree evenly. Decorate with 3-4 capers, red peppercorns, and a spinach stick.

Serving and suggestions
This sophisticated dish can be served alongside a dry white wine or a refreshing lemonade with mint. You can adapt the recipe by adding your favorite vegetables or even cheese slices according to your taste.
