SERVES 4
Ingredients
4 PORTIONS CROTTIN GOATS CHEESE 1 PKT MIXED SALAD LEAVES
100g PLAIN FLOUR 1 BUNCH SPRING ONIONS
3 EGGS 2 PLUM TOMATOES
200g PANKO BREADCRUMBS 50ml VINAIGRETTE
2 EGGS 50g RAISINS
1 TBSP MUSTARD
2 TBSP WHITE WINE VINEGAR
100ml OLIVE OIL
50ml WHITE TRUFFLE OIL
WATER ( FOR CONSISTENCY)
METHOD
Cut and roll the Crottin Goats Cheese into even size balls, then put into the fridge to firm up.
Put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs into 3 separate bowls, when the Goats cheese balls are firm, dip them into flour, shaking off the excess flour, dip into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs, making sure they are evenly coated all around, pop into the fridge until needed.
Put the raisins into cold water, bring to the boil, drain and cool down. Peel and chop the spring onions finely. Core and score the tomatoes, put into boiling salted water for 10-15 seconds, cool down, peel off the skin, cut into quarters then de-seed, leaving you with the petals, dice evenly.
Wash and dry the salad leaves
(for quickness if you preferred to use bottled mayonnaise, just add in the truffle oil)
Separate the eggs, putting the yolks in a bowl, add the mustard and the vinegar, mix gently, then add the oil to the mixture slowly, this is the base of your mayonnaise made, add in the truffle oil, if looking thick, add a little water.
Put some olive oil into a frying pan, making it nice and hot, add in your goats cheese balls, getting a nice even golden colour all around
Dressing the dish
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad leaves, place onto the 4 plates, sprinkle the spring onions and tomatoes on top. Place the goats cheese balls around the top of the salad leaves, drizzle the white truffle dressing all around.
Happy Eating!
