Recipe Introduction


An English Goat�s cheese flashed in the oven & served with a braising of lentils, madeira, bits of bacon & a good stock, graced with a herb salad.


List of Ingredients




1 Golden Cross goat�s cheese log
1 thin baguette
200g green lentils (soaked in cold water overnight)
1 litre of good quality veal stock/beef sauce
100g pancetta, cut into lardons
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
50g butter
3 sage leaves shredded finely
Selection of soft herbs to garnish (chervil, chives, parsley etc).

Recipe



1. Slice the baguettes into cro�tes and rub in a little olive oil. Bake the cro�tes in a preheated oven at 180�C, 350�F, Gas Mark 4 until just crisp. Leave to cool.
2. Place the lentils in a pan with the stock and simmer until just tender.
3. Drain the lentils keeping the cooking liquor. Reduce this by half to obtain a glossy sauce.
4. Lightly fry the pancetta and then remove from the heat.
5. Slice the goat�s cheese into 1� high towers. Sit the goat�s cheese onto cro�tes and place under a hot grill until lightly glazed.
6. Rewarm the lentils in the sauce, stirring in mustard, butter, sage and pancetta until the butter has dissolved.

To Serve:
Place the lentil compote in the centre of a bowl. Top with the grilled goat�s cheese cro�te.
Garnish with a light herb salad and drizzle with a good quality olive oil.
Note: Stages 1 � 4 can be prepared in advance.

Drink Suggestion:
Juran�on French wine. It may be very sweet but chilled with warm goat�s cheese it is a good partnership.
