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.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
