Cooked potatoes and cooked chicken are combined to make tasty rissoles rolled in chopped almonds. Serve with stir- fried vegetables.

1. Coarsely grate the boiled potatoes and raw carrots into a bowl. Finely chop or grind the chicken.
2. Add to the vegetables with the garlic, tarragon or thyme, salt and pepper to taste.
3. Add egg yolk or beaten egg to bind the ingredients together. Divide the mixture in half and shape into two large ovals.
4. Roll each rissole in the chopped almonds until evenly coated.

Place the rissoles in a greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven, 400 F, about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Alternatively, heat a little in a skillet and fry the rissoles until browned all over and cooked through.

Stir Fried Veggies

While the rissoles bake, prepare the stir-fried vegetables.

1. Cut the celery and scallions into thin diagonal slices.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet.
3. Add the vegetables and stir- fry over high heat 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Add the corn cobs and snow peas and cook 2 minutes longer.

Finally, stir in the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the stir-fried vegetables onto the serving plate and serve the rissoles beside them and serve.
