Leek in a tart - I love it!
I need to cut on talking this time, because I’m way too busy and shouldn’t be posting at all. But our dinner last night was so delicious that I wanted to share it with all of you.
I found the recipe in an Italian food magazine (Cucina moderna), that I started buying recently and it’s full of simple tasty recipes, a quality I rarely find in other magazines. I’m happy if I find 1 recipe worth trying in most of the magazines .
Well, since both me and my husband LOVE leeks, I definitely had to try this one. And I wasn’t wrong.
A recipe to absolutely keep in mind and make often! Trust me. The smell coming out of the oven every time I opened it was killing me – I ate it with my nose first (!), then with my eyes, the rest finished you know where.
RICOTTA AND LEEK TART
a sheet of pate brisèe
2 eggs
100 g smoked pancetta (or bacon)
200 g ricotta cheese
1 leek
20 g fresh dill
30 g of Parmigiano Reggiano
Clean and slice the leek.
Cook diced pancetta with 2 TB of oil in a skillet at medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Add sliced leek and cook for 3-4 minutes at low heat.
Let it cool.
In a bowl, mix ricotta, eggs, dill, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, pancetta with leek, salt and pepper.
Line a tart form with pate brisèe and punch it with a fork. Pour in the ricotta mixture, level with a spoon.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes.
Serve warm.
Delicious taste, awesome smell! Husband’s approval! Yay!

SLANA TORTA S PORILUKOM I SVJEŽIM SIROM
Sastojci:
list prhkog tijesta
2 jaja
100 g dimljene slanine narezane na kockice
200 g svježeg kravljeg sira
1 poriluk
30 g naribanog sira (Parmigiano Reggiano, odnosno parmenzan)
2 žlice maslinovog ulja
Sol i papar
Za prhko tijesto: 150 g brašna, 80 g maslaca, 2-3 žlice kiselog vrhnja.
Brašno i hladan maslac trljajte vršcima prstiju da dobijete jednolične mrvice. Zamijesite tijesto dodajući vrhnje. Oblikujte kuglu, omotajte prozirnom folijom i stavite u hladnjak 30 minuta (ili 1 sat).
Očistite poriluk i narežite na kolutiće. Popržite slaninu u tavi na ulju na srednjoj temperaturi 2-3 minute. Dodajte poriluk i dinstajte još 3-4 minute na laganoj vatri. Isključite i ostavite da se ohladi.
U zdjeli pomiješajte dobro ocijeđen sir s jajima i parmezanom, dodajte poriluk sa slaninom, posolite i pop aprite.
Rastanjite tijesto i utisnite u plitki okrugli kalup. Izbodite vilicom. Ulijte nadjev i pecite oko 40 minuta na 180°C (ili dok ne porumeni). Poslužite toplo ili mlako.
