Deep Fried Brie With Coulis Food

DEEP FRIED IRISH BRIE WITH SEASONAL SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Brie Bites
• 2. Sprinkle flour onto one plate and the wheat germ onto another. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Toss the brie cubes in plain flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally in the wheat germ. Deep fry the brie in a hot fryer (275C) 525F for 5-6 minutes until golden brown, then drain.
• 3. Vinaigrette
• 4. Place mustard in a bowl, add the white wine vinegar (it doesn't give an amount), and the lemon juice and whisk. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with the seasonal greens.
• 5. Place the salad in the center of the plate and arrange the brie around the edges.
• 6. Tip: Brie can be frozen for up to six weeks, but leave it the refrigerator over night to thaw.

CHERRY-BERRY COULIS

Steps:

• Combine frozen fruit, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine, and heat until fruit is thawed and just warmed through, about 5 minutes. Do not boil.
• Transfer to the bowl of a small food processor. Blend until smooth, 15 to 20 seconds.
• Strain mixture using a fine-mesh strainer, pressing solids with the back of a spoon. Stir lemon juice into the coulis and serve.

BERRY COULIS

Steps:

• Combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice, salt and 1 tablespoon water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the berries begin to give off their juice, 1 to 2 minutes. Adjust the heat so the sauce is simmering rapidly and cook until the berries have broken down, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing on the solids to extract as much of the sauce as possible. Serve the sauce cold or at room temperature.

FRIED BRIE WITH NUT CRUST

Steps:

• Freeze Brie for 30 minutes. Finely chop all nuts and sesame seeds in food processor. Transfer to medium bowl. In another medium bowl, whisk eggs and cream to blend. Remove cheese from freezer. Dip each wedge into egg mixture and then into nut mixture, turning to coat and pressing gently to adhere. Transfer to plate; cover with plastic and refrigerate until very cold, at least 45 minutes. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Pour enough peanut oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 1 1/2 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F. Working in 2 batches, fry Brie until deep golden brown, turning occasionally with metal spatula, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve with purchased jalapeño jelly and baguette slices.
