Rhubarb And Ricotta Cheese Puff Pastry Tartlets Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Unfold 1 pastry sheet and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet; repeat with remaining pastry sheet. Whisk egg and water; brush over pastries. Using a sharp knife, score a 1-in. border around edges of pastry sheets (do not cut through). With a fork, prick center of pastries. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. With a spatula, press down center portion of pastries, leaving outer edges intact. Remove to wire racks to cool., Meanwhile, for topping, arrange rhubarb in a single layer in a 13x9-in. baking dish. Combine orange juice, honey and amaretto; pour over rhubarb. Bake at 400° until rhubarb is just tender but still holds its shape, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, reserving cooking liquid; let rhubarb cool. Transfer reserved cooking liquid to a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Cool., For filling, stir together mascarpone cheese, amaretto and honey until smooth. Spread mascarpone mixture over center of each pastry. Top with rhubarb ribs. Brush rhubarb with cooled cooking liquid. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle. Using a paring knife, lightly score a border around the perimeter of the puff pastry about a 1/4-inch away from the edges. Place puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick the pastry inside the border using a fork to prevent puffing in the center. Bake on top rack until puff pastry is lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, toss carrots with 1 tablespoon oil, season generously with salt and pepper and spread into a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast carrots on the bottom rack (underneath the puff pastry) until the edges are golden brown and carrots are still crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While puff pastry and carrots are in the oven, blend ricotta, feta and garlic in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread the cheese mixture onto the puff pastry up to the border and arrange the carrots in a single layer on top. Bake until the carrots are tender and the edges of the cheese mixture are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. In a bowl, toss the rhubarb with cinnamon, 1 tbsp flour and 2 tbsp sugar. Line a baking sheet with a piece of baking parchment. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to approx 20 x 30cm, then cut into quarters and place on the sheet.
• Rub together the remaining flour, sugar, butter and oats to make a rough crumble mixture. Divide the rhubarb between the pastry quarters, leaving a 1cm rim. Sprinkle the oat mixture over, then fold and pinch each corner to keep the filling in. Bake for 20-25 mins, then serve warm.

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb and 2 1/2 cups brown sugar in large pot. Cook over low heat until syrup forms and rhubarb is tender but not falling apart, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes. Pour rhubarb mixture into sieve set over large bowl. Cover sieve and chill rhubarb and juices overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out 1 pastry sheet on floured surface to 12-inch square. Cut into four 6-inch squares. Using small plate as guide, cut 6-inch round from each. Place rounds on ungreased baking sheet; pierce with fork. Bake 5 minutes; flatten with spatula. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes longer. Repeat with second pastry sheet to make 8 crusts. Maintain oven temperature.
• Blend ricotta and powdered sugar in bowl. Brush each crust with egg glaze. Leaving 1/2-inch plain border, spread 1/8 of cheese mixture (about 1/4 cup) on each crust. Bake tartlets until topping is set, about 10 minutes. (Can be made 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Preheat broiler. Pour rhubarb juices into small saucepan. Boil until reduced to thick syrup, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Spread rhubarb 3/4 inch thick on rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons brown sugar. Broil until top is crisp and dark brown in spots, about 4 minutes.
• Spoon rhubarb over tartlets. Drizzle with rhubarb syrup and serve.
