- Ingredients:
- 1 large head garlic
- 1 small shallot
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 31/2 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley
- 11/2 Tbsp. black sesame seeds
- 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp. champagne vinegar
- 11/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 11/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme
- Dash ground black pepper
- Dash sugar
- 12 oz. Ile de France® La Búchette Goat cheese
- French baguette, sliced
|
Direction
- Separate garlic cloves from the head, leaving the skin on, and boil for four minutes. Drain, peel and mince garlic and shallot, and sauté in oil until golden.
- Keep garlic mixture in pan, and drain and discard oil or save for another use. Add vinegar, rosemary, thyme, pepper and sugar to pan and cook for 3 minutes until liquid is evaporated.
- Crumble goat cheese in medium bowl, add garlic mixture and stir until combined. Shape into 22 balls.
- Place parsley, peppercorns and sesame seeds in 3 separate bowls, and roll balls in mixtures as desired. Serve with crusty French bread slices.
Recipe Notes: Boiling the garlic makes peeling easier; more importantly, it reduces the strong garlic impact while enhancing its natural nutty, sweet garlicky flavor.
