Kapsalon

serves 1

Ingredients:

* 150g chickenbreast or calf meat
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 half teaspoon cayenne powder
* 1 teaspoon paprika powder
* 1 teaspoon coriander powder
* 1 spoon of oil
* Cucumber
* 1 tomato
* Lettuce
* 1 small onion
* Cheese
* Fries

Additional:
* Garlic sauce
* Sambal Ulek

Preparations:

First of all a little bit of history. Kapsalon is the Dutch word for barbershop. You probably wonder why this dish is called "barbershop", I am going to tell you. The Kapsalon originated in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. A guy owning a barbershop asked a kebab take-away restaurant to put together a meal with his favourite ingredients; fries, kebab, salad and cheese. The restaurant would take this order and tell the staff it was for the barbershop, or Kapsalon in Dutch. This is the way the Kapsalon came to exist today.

Mix together all the herbs with the oil in a bowl. Cut the chicken in small slices, and add to the mixture. Leave alone for a while.
If you are using fresh potatoes for the fries, peel the skin off and cut them in sticks. If you are using frozen fries like I did, prepare them following the instructions. I used the oven for this as I don't like them fried.
Cut the lettuce in small strips, and the cucumber and tomato in small cubes. Cut the onion in half rings.
Now stir-fry the chicken until done. Add the fries to a small tray and put the chicken above it. Place the salad on top of that. If you want you can add the sauces over the salad, but I recommend not to, as it still has to go in the oven/grill/microwave (personally I used the oven) for the cheese to melt, that you just placed on top. Once the cheese is molten, the dish is ready. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, and hopefully until soon!

Yours Truly,

Mike
