- Now add 1 teaspoon of grainy or sweet mustard and approx. 50 g of cream to the gravy and cook briefly over a high heat until creamy.
- When the potatoes are soft, add the finely chopped wild garlic, a pinch of nutmeg and approx. 50 g cream and mash with a potato masher to a creamy or chunky puree.
- Divide the purée between 2 deep plates and arrange the chicken escalopes decoratively on top. Pour over the mustard and cream sauce and serve immediately.
