INGREDIENTS
- 2 lbs. Naked, Wild & Free™
- 2⅔ T. olive oil, divided
- 4 c. onion, dice
- ½ c. garlic, chopped
- 11 c. chicken stock, low-sodium
- 2 T. kosher salt
- 4 bay leaves
- 8 whole eggs, beaten
- 1 qt. whole milk
- 1 t. freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ c. fresh sage leaves, chiffonade cut
- 20 Roma tomatoes
- 1¼ lbs. (approx. 20 slices) 1 oz. bacon strips, uncooked
- 1¼ lbs. goat cheese, chilled , sliced into 1 oz. disks
- 2 c. vegetable oil
- 1 t. sugar, superfine
- ¼ c. chives, chopped (½” long)
- 20 fresh sage leaves, whole
Directions
- In a pot over medium heat, heat half of the oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent.
- Add InHarvest Naked, Wild & Free to the pot and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes to toast the grains.
- Add the stock, salt and bay leaves to the pot. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and let the porridge simmer, covered, for 40 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and reserve the porridge hot, covered.
- In a separate pot, heat the milk until just steaming.
- In a mixing bowl, temper the raw egg by whisking in a small amount of hot milk. Continue to add milk gradually, whisking constantly, until all of the milk is whisked in.
- With a rubber spatula, stir the egg/milk mixture into the cooked porridge. Fold in the black pepper and chiffonade of sage. Reserve warm.
- While the porridge is cooking, slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise. (If the tomatoes have a lot of seeds, scoop them out.) In a large mixing bowl, toss the tomato halves with the remaining olive oil. Place the tomato halves on a parchment-lined sheet pan(s) and roast at 375°F for 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, line the bacon strips on a separate parchment-lined sheet pan(s) and place in the 375°F oven. Cook the bacon until crisp, checking the oven periodically to avoid the bacon burning.
- Remove the bacon from the oven and drain off the fat. Break the strips into approximately 1” pieces and reserve warm.
- Once the tomato halves have roasted at 375°F for 40 minutes, increase the oven to 400°F and continue to roast until the tomato halves are caramelized, approximately 20 minutes.
- In a shallow pan over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil. In 3 to 4 batches, add the whole sage leaves to the pan and cook until they turn dark green and crisp. (Do not burn.) Remove the leaves to paper towels and reserve for garnish.
- Evenly sprinkle the sugar over the goat-cheese disks. Brûlée the tops of the disks using a blowtorch or, alternatively, brown them under a broiler.
- Per order: Place 1 c. of the porridge into a single-serving bowl. Garnish with 5 to 6 pieces bacon, 2 tomato halves, a sprinkling of chopped chive, 1 goat-cheese disk and 1 fried sage leaf.
