Method
Ingredients
For the rarebit:
- 30g butter
- 30g flour
- 1 tbsp Bart Hot Curry Powder
- 1 tsp Bart Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp Bart Turmeric
- 425ml milk
- 200g grated extra mature Cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp lime pickle
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp mango chutney
- 1 egg yolk
For the crispy shallot:
- 6 banana shallots
- Sunflower or vegetable oil
Everything else:
- 2 naan breads
- Bart Salt and White Pepper
Method
- Add the butter to a medium sized saucepan and place onto a medium heat. Once melted, add the dry spices and foam together with the butter. Add the flour, mix to a paste and cook out for a few minutes. In a separate saucepan, add the milk and gently heat. Once hot, add to the paste little by little, using a whisk to combine with the flour. Once all the milk is incorporated, continue to cook out over a medium heat for around 5 minutes.
- Next, remove the pan from the heat add the grated cheddar cheese, lime pickle, Worcestershire sauce, mango chutney and egg yolk. Mix well.
- To make the crispy shallots, peel and half the shallots, then finely slice widthways. Add around 200ml of oil to a saucepan and place over a medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced shallots and cook for around 5 minutes, until the shallots have turned a light golden brown. Remove from the oil immediately by spooning the shallots out with a small sieve or slotted spoon and placing onto a plate lined with kitchen paper.
- Next, preheat the grill to high. Toast or grill the naan bread until slightly coloured, then generously spread the cheese mixture over the naan so that the top facing side of the bread is entirely covered (to prevent the edges burning). Place under a hot grill for a few minutes, until the cheese mix starts to blacken in places. Slice the bread into pieces, scatter over the crispy shallots and enjoy!
