I made the ballotine yesterday. Did not get the bone out as cleanly as you did but the meat remained whole. Apart from the deboning part, it was very easy to make. The bacon was so nice crispy.

Wow – for a last minute dish that is seriously impressive.

I will print this out! I will make crispy fried chicken with buttermilk biscuits next week and had no idea what to do with the legs because nobody in the family likes them that much but this is brilliant.

The step-by-step photos are very helpful, too.
Thank you!

you bring up sooo many ideas that have gone to the back of the memory… love the thinking of the butternut and cresson vinaigrette…

I like ballottines – make it go further. Are the livers up next?

Thanks. More inspirational work. Like the pancetta being crisped up after poaching.

Have you tried steaming the ballotines? The Varoma attachment for the Thermomix works a treat for steaming ballotines. I went a bit crazy on making them with various stuffings a while ago.
