Steps

90 minutes

1

For the filling: Steam the potatoes, carrots, green peas, and plantain, all diced. Boil the textured soy protein with the chopped onion and garlic, then drain and season with oil, add the yellow pickled peppers, and salt to taste.
2

For the 'chicken' mixture: Using a juicer, extract juice from the carrots, beet, and cauliflower (you can use this juice to make soup).
3

Mix the pulp from the carrots, beet, and cauliflower. Squeeze out excess liquid by hand, then add the soaked chia seeds, toasted wheat germ, oil, chopped onion, oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Sauté over low heat with oil.
4

Use celery stalks to shape the legs, thighs, and wings of the 'chicken.'
5

In a greased baking dish, sprinkle wheat germ, place a red cabbage leaf as the base, and add the filling. Shape it into a chicken breast and cover with another cabbage leaf. Place the shaped 'chicken' pieces on top, securing them with toothpicks. Brush with achiote seasoning for a golden color and bake for 10 minutes. Done.
