• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 10 spoons
• Serves: 5

ingredients

• 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

directions

1. Peel and chop shallots.
2. Melt butter in a frying pan over low heat. (Be careful it doesn’t get brown, it’s very bad for health.).
3. When butter has melt, add chopped shallots. Leave covered, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until translucent.
4. 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.
5. Cut prosciutto into small pieces.
6. Dice blue cheese.
7. Fill the bottom of your Chinese soup spoons with caramelized shallots. Add a dice of blue cheese and top with prosciutto pieces.
8. Serve right away.
