Recipe: Roasted Vegetable and Mozzarella Pithivier www.lovefrenchfood.com and www.france-travel-guide.net Recipe: Roasted vegetable and mozzarella Pithivier A Pithivier (Pithiviers in French) is a round pie usually made by baking two disks of puff pastry, with filling stuffed in between. It has the appearance of a hump and is traditionally decorated with spiral lines drawn from the top outwards with the point of a knife, and scalloping the edge. It is commonly held that the dish originated in the French town of Pithiviers in the Loiret department of the Centre region. Pithiviers are generally filled with a frangipane of almond paste, but savoury versions are also popular, as is the case with this vegetarian interpretation. Ingredients 1 large red pepper, deseeded and roughly diced 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges 200gm courgettes, sliced thickly 2 garlic cloves, sliced 1 tbsp olive oil 1 x 500gm pack of puff pastry 4 tbsp sundried tomato paste 4 tbsp shredded basil leaves (tear rather than cut these) 125gm of mozzarella, drained and torn 2 egg yolks salt and pepper 2 chopped anchovy fillets [optional] Variants Use red pesto instead of sundried tomato paste Use goat's cheese instead of mozzarella Method Preheat the oven to 220°C (Gas 7) Put the red pepper, onion, courgettes, garlic and olive oil into a large roasting tin; season with the chopped anchovy fillets [optional] salt and pepper to taste, and toss together. Spread the vegetables out and roast on the top shelf of the oven for 15 minutes. Remove, turn them over and return to the over for another 10 minutes or until tender. Remove and leave to go cold. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry until it is about 3mm thick, then cut into 4 x 15cm discs and 4 x 14cm discs (saucers work fine for this) – roll the pastry a little more if necessary. Spread the red pesto over the centre of each 14cm disc to within 2cm of the edge. Spoon the roasted vegetables on top, sprinkle with basil and top with a quarter of the mozzarella. Beat the egg yolks with 2 tsps of cold water. Brush some of the mixture round the edge of each base; lay the larger discs on top and press the edges together to seal, and score with the tines of a fork.

Place the Pithiviers on a buttered non-stick baking sheet and chill for at least 20 minutes. The recipe up to this point can be made up to a day in advance. Brush the top of each Pithivier with the remaining egg yolk glaze, then score the pastry lightly with the tip of a sharp knife to decorate. Make a small slit in the centre of each lit to let out steam. Bake in the centre of the oven for 20 minutes until puffed up and golden.

  • Spinach and Cheese Pie.Pdf
    Spinach and cheese pie We found ıspanaklı ve peynirli börek to be as common in Turkey as spanakotyropita is in Greece, and made a point of sampling as many as humanly possible, purely in the name of research of course. They are essentially the same dish – a savoury pie made of multiple layers of ultra-thin pastry with a spinach and cheese filling. Sometimes it’s just spinach, or just cheese, but I like it with both. They come in various shapes and sizes, depending on which country, region, town, village, bakery or home you’re in, and with different fillings. The form here is nice and simple and works with the packets of filo dough we can find in shops in the UK. I have made the filling purposefully generous in quantity and moist in consistency as I don’t like my börek dry. The recipe is loosely based on two very different versions I had the opportunity to make with chefs in Turkey and Greece – Engin Akin in Istanbul and Dimitris Mantsios in Naoussa. Serves: 6-8 for lunch or as a snack Total time: approx 1 hour 30 mins 400g (14 oz) spinach, well washed, well dried and quite finely chopped 200g (7 oz) Feta cheese, or similar, crumbled 1 small bunch spring onions, white and pale green parts only, finely sliced 2 eggs 225ml (<1 cup) thick whole plain yoghurt approx 2 tsps sumac or lemon juice, to taste approx ½ tsp chilli flakes, to taste salt and pepper, to taste approx 125g (4½ oz) butter 250g (8¾ oz) fresh filo pastry (approx 14 sheets) 1 egg yolk 1.

  • The Last Days of the Czars
    chapter ONE ★ 1910 s: The LAST DAYS ofZ the C ars My mother is expecting guests. In just a few hours in this sweltering July heat wave, eight people will show up for an extravagant czarist- era dinner at her small Queens apartment. But her kitchen resembles a building site. Pots tower and teeter in the sink; the food processor and blender drone on in unison. In a shiny bowl on Mom’s green faux- granite counter, a porous blob of yeast dough seems weirdly alive. I’m pretty sure it’s breathing. Unfazed, Mother simultaneously blends, sautés, keeps an eye on Chris Matthews on MSNBC, and chatters away on her cordless phone. At this moment she suggests a plump modern- day elf, multitasking away in her orange Indian housedress. Ever since I can remember, my mother has cooked like this, phone tucked under her chin. Of course, back in Brezhnev’s Moscow in the seventies when I was a kid, the idea of an “extravagant czarist dinner” would have provoked sardonic laughter. And the cord of our antedilu- vian black Soviet telefon was so traitorously twisted, I once tripped on it while carrying a platter of Mom’s lamb pilaf to the low three- legged table in the cluttered space where my parents did their living, sleeping, and entertaining. Right now, as one of Mom’s ancient émigré friends fills her ear with cultural gossip, that pilaf episode returns to me in cinematic slow mo- tion. Masses of yellow rice cascade onto our Armenian carpet. Biddy, 9 Soviet Cooking.indd 9 02/08/2013 12:11 Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking my two- month- old puppy, greedily laps up every grain, her eyes and tongue swelling shockingly in an instant allergic reaction to lamb fat.
