Time 35m

Yield 10 spoons, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 prosciutto, slices
6 shallots (or 2 onions)
2 ounces blue cheese
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar (or red wine)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and chop shallots.
  • Melt butter in a frying pan over low heat. (Be careful it doesn't get brown, it's very bad for health.).
  • When butter has melt, add chopped shallots. Leave covered, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until translucent.
  • Add sugar and stir. Let shallots caramelize for a couple of minutes, then add raspberry vinegar. At that time, you should probably go for medium heat. It's important when adding alcohol to get it to a smooth boil so the strong taste evaporates. When the strong smell is gone, you're done. Take pan off heat.
  • Cut prosciutto into small pieces.
  • Dice blue cheese.
  • Fill the bottom of your Chinese soup spoons with caramelized shallots. Add a dice of blue cheese and top with prosciutto pieces.
  • Serve right away.
