GRAPE, RICOTTA & HONEY TARTS



Grape, Ricotta & Honey Tarts image

Quick to prepare, elegant and delicious tarts, best made when grapes are at their peak! And these can be whipped up at fairly short notice as long as you have the ingredients on hand. This tart can be eaten warm or at room temperature. I have adapted this recipe from one I found in a March 2005 issue of Woolworth's 'Fresh' magazine. Serve with icecream, cream or Greek yoghurt. Since American recipes generally have more sugar than Australian recipes, American chefs may want to increase the sugar in this recipe.

SAVORY RICOTTA TART



Savory Ricotta Tart image

I love the simple combination of really good ricotta and fresh herbs, baked with just enough eggs to hold things together. I was in the mood for some heat but things like pepper and cayenne are totally optional.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
½ cup panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 tablespoon finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 large eggs
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
1 ounce finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Brush the bottom of a springform pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Cook and stir bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon olive oil together in a skillet over medium heat until breadcrumbs are light golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into breadcrumbs; cook and stir until golden brown and toasted, about 1 minute more. Spread breadcrumbs out into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  • Beat eggs in a bowl with a whisk until pale yellow, thick, and frothy. Add basil, parsley, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg; stir to combine.
  • Whisk ricotta cheese and 1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into egg mixture. Drop cheese mixture by spoonfuls into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly over breadcrumbs. Gently tap the pan against a work surface to settle the cheese layer. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, 20 to 25 minutes. Run a paring knife around the side to release tart from springform pan. Cool in the pan until cool enough to handle; remove springform pan ring.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • Place tart on prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated broiler until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 1h46m

Yield 15 to 18 tartlets

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra, for dusting
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 medium strawberries, chopped into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces to yield 1/2 cup
1/2 cup blackberries or raspberries, halved
1/2 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups whole milk ricotta
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons lemon zest
Special equipment: a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter

Steps:

  • For the crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Set aside. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the honey and vanilla. With the machine running, gradually add the dry ingredients and blend until incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a work surface and knead into a dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles of the dough and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough and gently knead together. Roll out until 1/4-inch thick. Cut out additional circles of dough and place on the baking sheet (there should be a total of 15 to 18 circles). Bake until slightly golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
  • For the berries: In a medium bowl toss together the strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes.
  • For the ricotta topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest.
  • To assemble the tartlets: Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of the ricotta topping in the center of each crust. Using a small spoon, make a shallow well in the ricotta topping and fill with a little of the berry mixture. Arrange on a platter and serve.

3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 cups California seedless grapes

Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes or until phyllo is crisp and lightly browned. Brush bottom of each pastry cup lightly with honey, using about 1 tablespoon among the 6 cups. Remove phyllo cups from muffin pan and cool on baking rack. Toss grapes with liqueur and remaining 2 tablespoons honey. Mix well and let stand 30 minutes.
