Author and restaurateur Paul Flynn shares his take on a classic dish from London restaurant Le Caprice.
The shallot dish is a riff on a dish that was served for years in Le Caprice in London. Was there ever a more glamorous restaurant? I nervously bog trotted through its doors on a few occasions back in the day, a young and innocent fish out of water. I was a long way from home. I like this with a good old rocket and Parmesan salad. I’ve left the whole garlic in its skins – prise them open and savour.8 banana shallots, halved 1 generous sprig of fresh thymePreheat the oven to 180°C.
Put the oil, shallots, garlic, thyme and some salt and pepper in a baking dish. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, turning once or twice, then add the balsamic vinegar. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes or so, until the shallots are soft, sticky and tender. This will all depend on the size of your shallots.
Serve the shallots warm or at room temperature with the torn mozzarella and the Parma ham draped over the top.by Paul Flynn is published by Nine Bean Rows . Photo by Harry Weir Photography.
