Flygande Jakob or Swedish Flying Jacob Casserole

When you love bananas and peanuts, this is the dish for you.



This is spicy, sweet and crunchy. I mixed the sauce with Sriracha, Piri Piri and Curry. The combination of meat and fruits is something I love. Savoury chicken and bacon with creamy banana and salty peanuts.



There is a guy on Insta who tries dishes from around the world. He had this, but all ingredients were raw and he cooked the casserole for a longer time in the oven. 



I checked Pinterest and found lots of different methods for this Swedish classic. I took inspirations from some of them. I had to buy some of the ingredients this morning and was lucky to get organic raised chicken (legs) 30 % off, because they were expiring tomorrow.



Recipe for 1:

1 cooked chicken leg

100 g cooked Basmati rice

50 g bacon

1 banana

30 g roasted peanuts

125 ml double cream, 50 ml whole milk

2 tsp mild curry powder, 2 tsp Sriracha, 1 tsp Piri Piri, salt, pepper



Layer the rice on the bottom of the baking dish. Put the chopped chicken on top. Slice the banana and sprinkle the peanuts on the chicken.



Mix the sauce and pour it over. Bake at 180 C fan for 15 to 20 min.



Place the bacon in a pan and get it crispy to add on the dish when it leaves the oven.
