Ingredients
Savory Spiced Flan with Roasted Pepper Mosaic
- Ingredients
- 1 ½ bunches parsley
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup
- Nutmeg (to taste)
- 1 pinch ground paprika (hot)
- salt
- peppers
- 1 red Bell pepper
- 1 yellow Bell pepper
- 1 orange Bell pepper
- 2 Tbsps balsamic vinegar
- 3 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil
Rinse parsley, shake dry, pluck leaves, chop finely and place in a bowl. Add eggs, milk, grated nutmeg, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Lightly grease 2 ramekins of 1/2 cup volume.
Fill ramekins with mixture and place in a casserole dish. Fill dish with hot water and place on oven rack in preheated oven at 300°F/convection 265°F for about 50 minutes. Remove and let cool. (Can be prepared 1 day in advance. Store covered in refrigerator and bring to room temperature 40 minutes before serving.)
Rinse peppers, cut into quarters, remove seeds, and place on baking sheet, skin side up.
Roast peppers in broiler briefly until skin is slightly black and blistered.
Cool peppers in a covered bowl for 10 minutes then remove skin.
Cut peppers into squares of approximately 1/2 inch. Reserve 3/4 of the square-cut peppers.
Cut 1/4 of cubed peppers into fine dice.
To create sauce, mix diced peppers with balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir in olive oil.
Arrange square-cut peppers in a decorative mosaic pattern of alternating colors on a plate.
Unmold the baked flans from the ramekins. Loosen with a knife along the edge if necessary. Place flans on top of pepper mosaics and serve drizzled with pepper sauce.
