Shall we go to Copenhagen? It's a place I've long wanted to visit. Not sure if I'll get there but let's take a little stroll via this cookbook. Perusing through the pages filled with lovely photos I get the impression it would be a great place to be in the Fall.
First up, Rye-Crust Tart with Feta and Leeks.
I made the dough, rolled it out, and lined my tart pan on Saturday. It chilled overnight in the fridge.
For the pastry:
all-purpose flour
wholegrain stoneground rye flour
sea salt
chilled butter
cream cheese
This was blind baked for 15 minutes and then baked an additional 5 minutes.
For the filling:
leeks
garlic
olive oil
sea salt & pepper
eggs
feta cheese*
cream cheese
ground cloves
Leeks and garlic were sauteed and seasoned.
Eggs beaten and combined with feta*, cream cheese, and cloves. Leek mixture then combined with egg mixture. Poured into the tart shell and baked about 30 minutes.
*I used this instead of feta. I do this regularly. I find it a reasonably priced, less salty product that crumbles easily and tastes great.
Baked.
Plated up with some Finnish Cucumber Salad.
This was fantastic. Really good textures and flavors. I am excited to continue exploring...
