Martinican Roll

Ingredients

The Martinican Roll differs from the original Australian Continental Roll in its use of Martinican spices and flavors. While the Australian version typically includes ham, cheese, and tomato, the Martinican adaptation replaces these ingredients with marinated chicken and a blend of Martinican spices. This modification infuses the dish with the vibrant and aromatic flavors of Martinican cuisine, creating a unique and exciting culinary experience.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Chicken — Ensure the chicken is sliced thinly and evenly to ensure even cooking.
• Martinican spice blend — Adjust the amount of spice blend according to your preference for spiciness.
• French bread rolls — Choose rolls that are soft on the inside and have a slightly crispy crust for the best texture.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the chicken before serving.
• If you prefer a spicier roll, add a few dashes of hot sauce or sprinkle some chili flakes on the chicken.
• Customize the fillings by adding sliced avocado, pickles, or your favorite condiments.
• To make it a complete meal, serve the Martinican Roll with a side of plantain chips or a fresh green salad.
• If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of marinating and cooking the chicken from scratch.

Serving advice

Serve the Martinican Rolls as a main course for lunch or dinner. Accompany them with a side of plantain chips or a fresh green salad for a balanced and satisfying meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, you can wrap the Martinican Rolls in parchment paper or serve them on a wooden cutting board. Garnish the plate with a sprig of fresh thyme or a slice of lime for an extra touch of elegance.
