Deep-fried camembert with red pepper sauce Recipe

  • 50g/1¾oz breadcrumbs
  • handful fresh thyme, chopped
  • handful fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1 free-range egg, beaten
  • 100g/3½oz Camembert, cut into triangles
  • oil for deep frying
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ Romero pepper, sliced
  • pinch chilli flakes
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 35g/1¼oz breadcrumbs
  1. In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs together with the herbs.
  2. Dip the Camembert into the egg and then place into the herbed crumb.
  3. Heat the oil in a deep heavy-bottomed pan. (CAUTION: Hot oil can be very dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
  4. When the oil is hot deep-fry the breaded Camembert for 2-3 minutes or until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
  5. For the sauce, sauté the pepper, chilli flakes, garlic and breadcrumbs for 2-4 minutes or until softened. Blend in a food processor until smooth. You may need some water to loosen it.
  6. Serve the deep fried cheese with the red pepper sauce.
