0 Comments

 
Picture
​Serves: 8
 
2 cups milk
¾ cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped out
¼ cup honey, plus more for drizzling
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
8 ounce fresh goat cheese, softened (about 1 cup)
2 cups fresh raspberries, washed and dried
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
Garnish:  fresh mint leaves
 
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk with the cream, vanilla bean and seeds, the ¼ cup of honey and the lemon zest.  Bring to a simmer.  Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover and let stand for 30 minutes.  Strain the milk, discarding the vanilla bean.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the whole eggs with the yolks, sugar and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually whisk in the warm milk mixture.  Pour the contents of the bowl into the saucepan. Bring to a boil over moderately high heat, whisking constantly until thickened, 1 minute.
  3. Transfer the custard and 1 cup of the raspberries to a blender.  Take care when adding the goat cheese, butter, lemon juice and salt because the custard is still hot.  Blend until smooth.  Pour the custard into a six cup pie plate or quiche dish and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Top with raspberries, a light drizzle of honey and a spray of mint leaves and serve.
 
VARIATION:  Pour the finished custard into 8-¾ cup ramekins for individual servings and decorate as above.

Picture
-Adapted from Missy Robbins,  Food & Wine
​Serves: 2
 
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
⅔ cup farro
1⅔ - ¾ cup boiling water
½ cup frozen mixed berries, defrosted
1 tablespoon honey
½ cup fat-free Greek yogurt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons crushed or slightly chopped pistachios
 
  1. Melt the butter in a small sauce pan.
  2. Add the farro, tossing lightly to coat the grains, and cook for about 2 minutes.
  3. Add just enough of the hot water to almost cover the grains and continue to cook while stirring.  As the water is absorbed, continue to add boiling water, ½ cup at a time, while stirring.
  4. Continue cooking until the water is almost, but not completely, absorbed.  The grains should still move freely amongst themselves.
  5. Cover the pan and allow the farro to simmer over low heat until it is al dente.  About 10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a 2 cup measuring cup, place the fruit and the honey, mix gently.  Microwave for 30 seconds, mix again and microwave again for an additional 20 to 30 seconds.  You want the fruit to begin to meld with the honey and itself.
  7. In a small prep bowl, mix the yogurt and the cinnamon.
  8. When the farro is ready, add the yogurt and spice to the farro and mix.
  9. Divide the farro into two serving bowls, spoon the fruit over the top and sprinkle with the pistachios.  Serve while warm.

BLACK AND RED RASPBERRY GRANITA

7/13/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Serves: 8
 
1 cup water
½ cup sugar
2 cups red raspberries, rinsed and drained well
2 cups black raspberries, rinsed and drained well
Juice of ½ lemon
Pinch of salt
 
Optional – replace ½ cup water with ½ cup Chambord raspberry liquèur
 
  1. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil.  Lower the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Cool the syrup to room temperature.  Set aside.
  3. Place the berries in a blender with a tablespoon of water.  Blend until complete smooth.
  4. Place a fine strainer over a medium to large bowl.  Line the strainer with a cheesecloth.
  5. Pour the puréed berries into the cheesecloth.  Let drain for a few minutes.
  6. Pick up the edges of the cheesecloth and begin to twist them around, forming a pouch of the fruit.  Over the strainer, squeeze the pouch continually by twisting the ends of the cheesecloth to press the juices out and into the bowl.
  7. Discard the remaining solids and put the juice back into the blender.
  8. Add the water/sugar syrup to the blender along with the lemon juice and the salt.
  9. Mix well.
  10. Pour the mixture into a large flat pan or dish.  The larger the dish the more shallow the mixture, the easier the scraping.
  11. Place the pan or dish into the freezer for about 30 to 35 minutes.
  12. Take a fork and scrape it across all of the partially frozen mixture.  You can stir the resulting mixture slightly and gently and then re-spread it throughout the dish or pan.
  13. Repeat the scraping every fifteen to twenty minutes for up to 4 or 5 hours.
  14. Granita may be stored in a sealed container for up to a week.  To refresh its granularity, let it thaw slightly an hour or so before serving.  Return the granita to the freezer and scrape it with a fork as before.

Simple Raspberry Tart

8/26/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Recipe by Anna Gill

Serves: 8

1¼cups all-purpose flour plus more as needed
¼ teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, preferably a European-style butter
like Plugra, cut into ½-inch pieces and re-chilled
2 to 5 tablespoons ice cold vodka (the alcohol evaporates and leaves the crust much flakier)
½ cup sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
3 cups firm whole raspberries, picked over
Confectioners' sugar, or ice cream, whipped cream or crème fraîche


1. In a food processor, briefly pulse together the flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture forms chickpea-size pieces (3 to 5 one-second pulses).
2. Add vodka 1 tablespoon at a time, the fewer tablespoons the better. Pulse after adding each tablespoon until mixture is just moist enough to hold together.
3. Form dough into a ball, wrap with plastic and flatten into as wide a disk as you quickly can. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before rolling out and baking.
4. Prebaked Crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pie crust to a 12-inch circle. Transfer crust to a 9-inch pie plate. Fold over any excess dough, then crimp edges. Prick crust all over with a fork. If you have time, freeze crust for 15 to 30 minutes; otherwise skip this step. Cover pie with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights (you can use coins, marbles, uncooked rice or dried beans for this). Bake for 15 minutes; remove foil and weights and bake until pale golden, 5 to 7 minutes more. Cool on rack until needed.
5. Combine sugar and cornstarch in a bowl. Toss with about 2 cups of berries, crushing some of berries with a fork.
6. Pile berries into the tart crust, then top with remaining berries.
7. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until fruit mixture is bubbly. Cool.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with confectioners' sugar, or topped with ice cream, whipped cream or crème fraîche.

Eileen Litwin's Rhubarb and Raspberry Crostata

8/25/2015

Picture
Recipe by Eileen Litwin

Serves: 8 to 10

CRUST:
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1½ tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup chilled, unsalted butter (1½ sticks), cubed
1 large egg
1 tablespoon whole milk

FILLING:
¼ cup cornstarch
4 cups rhubarb, in ½” slices (about 1 to 1¼ lbs.)
1 6 oz. container of fresh raspberries
⅔ cup sugar
1 large egg, beaten
Raw sugar for garnish
Sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

CRUST:
1. Combine both flours, sugar and salt in a processor. Pulse for 5 seconds.
2. Add chilled butter and pulse until butter is reduced to pea-sized pieces.
3. Whisk egg and milk in a small bowl to blend. Add to the processor and pulse until moist clumps form.
4. Gather the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1½ hours.

FILLING:
1. Dissolve the cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Combine the rhubarb, raspberries and sugar in a large saucepan. Cook over a medium heat, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves and the juices are released, about 4 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil (rhubarb will not be tender and the slices will still be intact).
3. Transfer to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

CROSTATA:
1. Preheat the oven to 400o.
2. Roll out the dough on floured parchment paper to a 12” round.
3. Brush with the beaten egg, reserve the remaining egg.
4. Mound the filling in the center of the crust dough. Gently spread the filling out leaving a 1½” border.
5. Gently fold the edges of the crust dough over the filling, pleating as necessary.
6. Brush the border with the remaining beaten egg.
7. Sprinkle raw sugar around the egg brushed border.
8. Slide the parchment paper with crostata onto a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 45 minutes.
9. Let the crostata cool on the baking sheet on a rack.
10 Transfer to a serving platter or dish, cut into wedges and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

ADVANCE PREPARATION: The crust dough can be made up to two days in advance. Keep chilled
