TWD - Iced, Spiced Hermits

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Iced, Spiced Hermits. 

These mysteriously named cookies are like raisin studded gingerbread, with lemon icing on top.

The hermits are very tasty, and I’d make them again.

TWD - Freestyle Mushroom, Herb and Ricotta Tart

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Freestyle Mushroom, Herb and Ricotta Tart.

The base is made of a mix of plain flour and almond meal, blended with herbs, and rolled into a free form shape.

The cooked base is topped with a mixture of ricotta, yoghurt and herbs.

I can’t eat mushrooms, so for the topping, I used shredded chicken instead. I also subbed chicken stock in place of wine when cooking the topping. My herbs were basil, oregano and thyme.

I made a serve for one from a quarter of the recipe. This tart would have been nice served with a green salad, but I didn’t bother.
