What tart recipe sounds better?
Comments (10)Here's two recipes from Food Network Canada's Sugar. Raspberry Lemon Tart This tart is a classic French Tarte au Citron, finished with fresh raspberries. Pastry 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1/3 cup sugar 4 egg yolk 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt Filling 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup sugar 4 egg 1 cup whipping cream 1 tbsp lemon zest To Assemble 4 cups fresh raspberries, red, golden, and/or black Pastry Cream butter and sugar together until smooth. Add egg yolks and blend. Stir in flour and salt and mix just until dough comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 1 minute. Shape dough into a disc, wrap and chill for at least an hour. If making dough far in advance, pull dough from refrigerator an hour before rolling. Preheat oven to 375 F. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough again for 1 minute. Roll out pastry to 1/4 inch thick. Line a 10-inch removable-bottom tart pan with the dough, trim rough edges and chill for 30 minutes. Prick crust bottom with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes, until edges are lightly browned and centre of shell is dry. Allow to cool before filling. Filling Reduce oven temperature to 325 F and place tart shell on a baking sheet. Whisk together lemon juice, sugar, eggs, cream and zest and pour into tart shell. Carefully move tart to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until tart stops jiggling when you tap it. Tart filling should not soufflé at all. Allow tart to cool at room temperature for a bit, then chill for 2 hours before finishing. Arrange raspberries on top of tart I find starting at the outside edge and moving in works best. Dust lightly with icing sugar if you wish and serve. Tart with lemon filling can be made a day ahead and finished with raspberries up to 6 hours before serving. **************************************************** Lemon Pineapple Brulee Tart Crust 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut, medium shred 1 cup icing sugar, sifted 1/4 teaspoons fine salt 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter Filling 1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, room temperature 2 cups sugar 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 3 large eggs 1/2 cup lemon juice 1 Tbsp finely grated lemon zest 1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple granulated sugar for bruling Filling For crust, preheat oven to 350 °F. Grease a 10-inch removable bottom tart pan. Pulse all ingredients together until a rough, crumbly texture (mixture will be dry). Press into prepared pan and bake 12 minutes, until it just starts to brown around the edges. Allow to cool. For filling, reduce oven temperature to 325 °F. Beat cream cheese to smooth and add sugar and flour while beating. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in lemon juice and zest and stir in pineapple. Pour over cooled crust and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until set but not browned. Cool for an hour, then chill completely before bruling. Sprinkle a layer of granulated sugar over the surface of the tart. Using a kitchen butane torch melt and caramelize the sugar and serve. *************************************************** Alsatian Apple Tart Sable Crust 1 1/4 cups pastry flour 1 cup icing sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces and chilled 3 egg yolk Filling 1/3 cup sour cream 3 tbsp sugar dash of nutmeg 8 Granny Smith apples 2 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp Calvados or brandy 3 tbsp apricot or apple jelly Directions: Sable Crust Sift together flour, icing sugar and salt. Cut in butter until the pastry starts to take on a yellow colour from the butter. Mix in yolks until dough is an even texture. Shape into a disc, wrap and chill for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to just greater than 1/4-inch thick. Line a 10-inch removable-bottom with pastry and trim edges. Chill for 15 minutes. Dock with a fork and bake for 18-20 minutes. Allow to cool. Filling Blend together sour cream, sugar and nutmeg and spread over bottom of cooled crust. Peel and core apples, and thinly slice on a mandolin. Sprinkle apples with lemon juice and calvados. Line tart shell with apple slices, starting at the outside and overlapping slices 3/4 over each other. Spiral apples slices toward the center, creating a tart that is taller in the center than its edges. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until apples are tender. To Assemble Warm jelly with a Tbsp of water and brush over tart to glaze. Chill until ready to serve....See MoreRhubarb curd for tart or pie
Comments (2)So, I did make a rhubarb meringue tart, and it turned out really great. Everyone enjoyed it. I ended up following the recipe I found at the Nothing-in-the-house blog. I would make this again, but with some adjustments. I would not make it with the pecan crust. IMO, the pecan and rhubarb flavors were too competitive. A plain shortbread crust would be my preference for next time. The filling was good. Next time, I might reduce the sugar a bit. My preference would be for the filling to be more on the tart side. I would also add a little lemon juice or zest to brighten the flavor. There was a typo in the crust recipe, as there were no sugar in the ingredients list, but it was mentioned in the instructions, so I just used 1/4 cup sugar. But as I said before, I would substitute a plain crust. Recipe is here: link to blog is below ********************************************* Rhubarb Meringue Tart with a Pecan Shortbread Crust Ingredients For crust: 1 c. pecans, roasted 1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 9 Tblsp. butter 1 egg 1 egg yolk 1 tsp. vanilla extract (I used vanilla-bourbon) zest of one small orange (I used a clementine) For filling: 3 c. fresh rhubarb, diced 1/4 c. + about 1/2 c. water 1 1/4 c. sugar 1/4 c. cornstarch 1/4 tsp. salt 5 egg yolks (save whites for meringue) 3 Tblsp. butter, cut into chunks For meringue: 5 egg whites 1 tsp. cream of tartar 1/4 c. sugar Directions For crust: 1. Combine roasted pecans, flour, sugar, and baking powder in a food processor and pulse until pecans are finely ground. Add cold butter chunks to the pecan mixture and process until mix is the size of small peas. Add egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract and orange zest and pulse just until dough begins to form. Remove pastry dough from the food processor and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill for at least one hour and up to 1 day. 2. After at least one hour, preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease and flour the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Remove the dough from the fridge. I rolled out the dough first(which was a little difficult, as it was crumbly), but you can also just press it into the bottom and sides of the tart pan. The bottom crust should be slightly thicker than the sides. Place crust in the freezer for about 10 minutes, then line with parchment paper and pie weights. Bake for about 20 minutes or until crust is dark brown. Remove pie weights and bake for 5 more minutes. Take from oven and let cool. For filling: 1. Combine diced rhubarb and 1/4 c. water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Let cook until rhubarb is soft and begins to break down. With an immersion blender (or a stand blender), purée until smooth and set aside to cool slightly. Once cooled, add enough water to bring purée to 1 1/2 c. (this should be about 1/2 c. of water). 2. Add sugar, salt, and cornstarch to the purée mixture and cook over medium heat until it begins to thicken. Add in egg yolks, whisking after each addition. Continue to cook until mixture coats the back of a spoon, or reads 185 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Let cool to room temperature. Once cooled, pour filling into pie crust, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 2 hours. For meringue: 1. Once filling has chilled for 2 hours, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, mix egg whites and cream of tartar on high until egg whites begin to form medium peaks. Continue to beat eggs, gradually adding in sugar. Continue to beat eggs until they are glossy and can form stiff peaks. Spread over rhubarb filling, making sure the meringue seals the edge of the pie. Use the back of a spoon to curl meringue decoratively. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until egg whites begin to brown. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Comments (30)This is one of my favorite gluten-free cookie recipes. Gluten-free White Chocolate Lemon Cookies Ingredients: 1 cup Unsalted Butter, slightly softened 3/4 cup Brown Sugar 1/2 cup White Sugar 2 Eggs 1/2 tsp Almond Extract 2 Tbs Lemon Zest 2 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice 3/4 cup Sorghum Flour 3/4 cup Rice Flour 1/2 cup Tapioca Starch/Flour 1/2 cup Potato Starch 1 tsp Baking Soda 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Xanthan Gum 1/2 tsp Salt 12 oz White Chocolate, chips or chopped Optional Sugar Roll: 1/2 cup Fine Sugar mixed with 1 Tbs lemon zest. Directions: Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Mix the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum together with a whisk and set aside. Using an electric mixer beat the butter until creamy, and add the sugars, blending well. Add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each well. Add the almond extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just blended. Gently stir in the white chocolate. The dough will be soft, and slightly sticky. You can work with it as is, or refrigerate it for an hour or two to make it easier to work with. Spoon (I used a small scoop) a full tablespoon of dough and roll gently into a 1" ball. Optionally, you can roll the ball into the sugar-zest mixture. Not necessary, but a nice touch. Bake on parchment paper-lined cookies sheets approximately 12-13 minutes until the edges start to get golden. Let cookies cool on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes before moving to cooling rack. These can be served as is, sprinkled with powdered sugar, or drizzled with a mix of 1/2 cup powdered sugar mixed with 1-2 Tbs lemon juice. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

Will be making this again and again!! Thanks for the recipe Ann, and thanks to sheshebop for posting it. o RE: Cookalong #5 --LEMON-- Thread #1 clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings * Posted by foodonastump (My Page) on Mon, Mar 23, 09 at 20:48 I've been a little out of sorts as I just lost a friend, way too young, completely sudden and unexpected. Somewhere along the line I fell under the impression that I missed the lemon cookalong, which I've been really looking forward to. So today I made lemon stuff, only to find now that I'm actually five days early, not two days late. Oh well. Here's what I made: Fettucini with Lemon and Cream - Cook's Illustrated's variation on their Alfredo, basically just adding some lemon juice and zest to the mix. It was wonderful; it's been quite some time since I made homemade pasta and I forgot how easy and worth it it is. I also topped it with grilled chicken and shrimp for good measure. The lemon squares that Canarybird posted. As promised these were very sweet and heavy - and delicious. I did make what I think was a critical mistake though; my only 9x9 was a pyrex dish, so the crust never really cooked right and was soggy and dripping with butter even after 30 minutes in the oven. So once cooled, I cut the squares and let them soak into some paper towels, and those of course stuck. So overall a less than perfect presentation, but we enjoyed them no less. Thanks Sharon! Time permitting I'll gladly try a new menu on Saturday. Until then, I figure it'll be a few days before I dare to jump on the scale, or open up the "March Weight Loss Support" thread for that matter. o RE: Cookalong #5 --LEMON-- Thread #1 clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings * Posted by chase (My Page) on Tue, Mar 24, 09 at 7:55 Food I am so sorry for your loss and especially so in that it was so unexpected.

I'm thinking of making it for this cook-off, but so many of everyone else's recipes look so good, too. It's from The Complete Italian Vegetarian Cookbook by Jack Bishop. Lemon Risotto 6 cups vegetable stock 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 medium onion, minced 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice 1/2 cup dry white wine 1 teaspoon grated zest and 2 tablespoons juice from 1 large lemon 6 large fresh sage leaves, minced 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for the table salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional) 1. Bring the stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Keep it warm over low heat. 2. Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy-bottomed medium pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the rice and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook just until the alcohol aroma fades, 1 to 2 minutes. 3. Add 1/2 cup of the warm stock and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice absorbs the liquid. Continue adding stock in 1/2-cup increments, stirring. After about 15 minutes, stir in the lemon zest and sage. 4. Continue adding stock in 1/2-cup increments, stirring, until the rice is creamy and soft, but still a bit al dente, about 10 minutes more. (Add hot water if you run out of stock.) Stir in the lemon juice and parsley and continue cooking until the lemon juice is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes more. 5. Remove the pot from the heat and vigorously stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the 1/4 cup cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the heavy cream, if using. Divide the risotto among individual soup bowls. Serve immediately with more grated cheese passed separately at the table. I'm looking forward to this cook-off.

I was planning on making a beet salad and the beet greens, but there weren't enough beets for 5 people, so I added the carrots and just topped the greens with the salad. I also broiled some tofu I marinated in some lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce and some herbs. My daughter and I made a couple of loaves of ciabatta to go with the meal, plus we made some World Peace Cookies for desert. We all had a great time. Early on, I took some pictures of my freshly gathered beets, but my battery went dead. So, I put it in the charger, planning on having the camera ready for supper when the Risotto and everything was ready and dinner was served and I could take some pictures.

Lemon Lover's Cookie is made entirely in the food processor, so it's super easy. I first made these in August 2004, to try out my new convection oven, and they were an instant hit, light and delicate. Keeping an extra cookie roll in the fridge or freezer is nice to have on hand. I recently visited some friends in New Mexico and took them a bag, along with a few for ourselves. They cookies keep beautifully, and still tasted fresh after 10 days on the road. I like a lot of lemon flavor, so I punch it up by adding the zest of two lemons, which I didn't include in the recipe. Lemon Lovers Cookies A delicate cookie, from The Lemon Lovers Cookbook. Plan ahead, as you have to leave the dough in the refrigerator for several hours before baking. 1 large lemon, zest of 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup butter, chilled and cut into pieces (2 sticks) 2 1/3 cups cake flour, sifted 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt Process the lemon zest and sugar in a food processor until the zest is as fine as the sugar. Add the butter. Process until fluffy. Scrape down the bowl. Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Process briefly until mixed. Form dough into two 1-1/2-inch-round logs and wrap each in wax paper. Refrigerate until firm. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice each log into 1/4-inch thick cookies and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden around the edges. Do not overbake! o RE: Cookalong #5 --LEMON-- Thread #1 clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings * Posted by sally2 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 31, 09 at 19:32 I love lemon cookies. I'll have to add those to my list to try. Just a little addendum on the lemon risotto - the recipe I use calls for butter, and optional cream, although I don't use the cream. It also allows for additional parm at the table if you choose to. The way Theresa made it sounds intriguing, since she cut out the butter. I like the idea of making it a little bit healthier and it still tasting good.
