Categories     appetizer

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pints fresh or frozen red currants, stemmed and washed, or frozen or fresh raspberries
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon currant vodka
1 1/2 pounds Camembert cheese
3 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
4 cups peanut oil for frying

Steps:

  • Prepare Currant Coulis: Place currants in a small saucepan with the water and sugar. Bring to a boil and cook gently for 10 to 12 minutes, or until soft. Puree through a food mill, and add currant vodka and a little more water if it's too thick. Set aside.
  • Prepare Fried Camembert: Slice cheese into 6 wedges and refrigerate until very cold and firm. Beat eggs in a bowl and place flour and bread crumbs in separate individual bowls. When cheese is cold, dip each wedge, one at a time, in flour, patting off any excess. Then dip in eggs, drain, and coat with bread crumbs. Be meticulous about covering every spot of cheese. Reserve coated cheese on a platter in freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Dip each wedge in eggs and bread crumbs again, being careful to drain the eggs and thoroughly coat with bread crumbs. Place in freezer for another 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat oil in a large stockpot or saucepan to deep-fry temperature (350 degrees F). Fry wedges, three at a time, until golden brown, about 1 minute. Do not stir, since the breading is easily broken. Carefully remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Transfer to a large roasting pan and bake for 5 minutes.
  • To serve, coat each plate with Currant Coulis. Top with wedge of cheese and serve immediately, accompanied by a shot of black currant vodka.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my taste. There were too many steps and ingredients involved. I think I would prefer a simpler recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. The camembert cheese was very heavy and the coulis was very sweet. I think I would prefer a lighter cheese and a different sauce next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The camembert cheese didn't melt properly and the currant coulis was way too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The fried camembert was a bit too greasy for my taste and the currant coulis was a bit too sweet. I think I would prefer a different cheese and a different sauce next time.

This was a tasty recipe! I used a sharp cheddar cheese instead of camembert and it turned out great. The currant coulis was also delicious. I served it with some crackers and it was a hit at my party.
