not too much work in the kitchen, a good book or an interesting program on tv, and something quick and easy but very very tasty to munch on in the meantime... relaxation.
we recently discovered something that ticks all the boxes, altho purists might cringe a bit since we use herbs and flavorings more at home around the Mediterranean combined with a little cheese that comes from the north of France, closer to the Atlantic...
we still think it s a marriage made in heaven.
GRILLED CAMEMBERT IN ITS OWN BOX WITH HERBS, GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL
INGREDIENTS:
1 small whole camembert
2 sprigs of rosemary
a few sprigs of thyme
1 clove of garlic, sliced into thin slivers
a glug of olive oil
METHOD:
1. preheat the oven to 180°C
2. remove all the covering and check there s no sticker on the bottom of the cheese
4. make a few incisions in the cheese to put in the garlic slivers and herbs
5. put the cheese back into the wood case it came in
6. pour on a little glug of olive oil
7. roast on a hot baking tray for about 10-15 minutes until very soft to the touch
8. pour out a glass of white (or red) wine
9. tuck in with some crusty bread and perhaps some grilled paprikas
la dolce vita.
happy days.
be still my heart...grilled camembert!!!!! ive always wanted to try that but have forgotten about it...i once saw someone use baked camembert as a sauce to spaghetti...so basically dipping cooked pasta into the gooey cheese!
