Rhubarb-Ricotta Tart


And my rhubarb crush continues...yesterday I made a ricotta tart with rhubarb for breakfast. The boys were so excited!

Ingredients 

For the Crust
  • 1-1/2 C Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat Pastry Flour*
  • 1/2 C Bob's Red Mill Hazelnut Meal Flour
  • 1/2 C softened butter
  • 1/2 C organic powdered sugar
  • 1/4 C olive oil
  • 1 T cold water
  • 2 pinches of fleur de sel
*I received complimentary bags of the whole wheat pastry flour and hazelnut meal flour from Bob's Red Mill for participating in the #BrunchWeek 2014 event coming up in May.

For the Filling
  • 2 C whole milk ricotta
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 C organic brown sugar + 1 T
  • 1/4 C raw honey
  • 1 t ground cinnamon
  • 2 rhubarb stalks
Procedure
For the Crust
Mix the whole wheat pastry flour, hazelnut meal flour, sugar and salt; rub in the butter with olive oil until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in 1 tablespoon of water with a fork until the mixture forms a ball. Chill until firm. Roll out between two pieces of parchment paper. Press gently into the tart pan. Stick in the freezer while the oven heats. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350, or until a light golden brown. Let cool completely.

For the Filling
Stir together all of the ingredients except for the rhubarb stalks. Cut the rhubarb stalks into radius-length of your tart pan. Slice them lengthwise into two of three pieces per stalk. Toss the stalks with 1 T of sugar. Spoon the ricotta mixture into the baked tart crust. Gently press the sugar-coated rhubarb into the top. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes - until the ricotta is set and the rhubarb is softened. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. This can be eaten warm or cold.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
