Words & Brush Recipe Corner: SUBLIME LEMON TART

 SUBLIME LEMON TART

 Lisa -Starr 

lisa-starr.com/shop


                                         Add new zest to life! 


SUBLIME LEMON TART

1 cup plain flour
1 cup desiccated coconut
½ cup light brown sugar
100 grams melted butter
Generous pinch Maldon salt
250 grams cream cheese
1 tin condensed milk (see homemade info)
2 large egg yolks
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest


1: Combine the flour, coconut, sugar, salt and melted butter and press into a medium-size tart dish ideally with removable base. Bake at 180 C for 15 minutes till lightly golden.
2: Beat the cream cheese, condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice and zest together till smooth then pour over crust.
3: Turn oven down to 160 C - important step - and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the filling is firm.
4: Chill for several hours before serving.

COOK'S NOTES: You could replace the crumb with crushed Lotus biscuits or Ginger Snaps and mix with melted butter before baking. My version doesn't contain all the additives of store-bought cookies. To make condensed milk, stir ⅔ cup of white sugar into 2 cups of 3% milk, stir over medium heat till dissolved, then leave to simmer without stirring at all for approximately 35 - 40 minutes till lightly cream-colored and thickened. It will thicken more as it cools and can be kept in the refrigerator for weeks. This method works with coconut milk too - and other plant-based milks - giving you the option of parve condensed milk. You're welcome.  


ENJOY!

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: ALL-SEASON SUN-DRIED TOMATO SOUP

 ALL-SEASON SUN-DRIED TOMATO SOUP

 Lisa -Starr 

lisa-starr.com/shop


I've always been a believer in soup for all seasons and, when it's a soup suitable for serving both hot and cold, it offers double the versatility.

My signature Sun-Dried Tomato Soup - a best-seller in my Meatland days - takes the timeless title.

Simply delicious served hot, I believe it's even better served chilled, aptly garnished with a swirl of cream and a zesty lemon gremolata.

ALL SEASON SUN-DRIED TOMATO SOUP
2 tablespoons (30 ml) oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon (5 ml) crushed garlic
1/4 cup (60 ml) sun-dried tomatoes, chopped*
4 tablespoons (60 ml) tomato paste
Large (800 grams) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon each (3 ml) dried basil and oregano
3 cups pareve {vegetarian} chicken stock
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 sprigs parsley
1 cup (250 ml) fresh cream/non-dairy creamer
Sugar to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
1: Heat oil and fry the onion, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 3 minutes.
2: Add the tomato paste and canned tomatoes and fry a further 2 minutes.
3: Add the dried herbs and stock and allow to simmer for 25 minutes.
4: Remove from heat, add the rosemary and parsley and blend till smooth.
5: Return to heat, stir through cream, add sugar to taste (you will need quite a bit as the tomatoes are tart) and seasoning.         
6: Serve hot or chilled garnished with grated lemon zest and chopped parsley.

* Can use dried tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes in oil.

ENJOY!
