TWD - Spinach Mozarella Pie with Parm Crumble

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Spinach Mozarella Pie with Parm Crumble.

This pie is a quiche with parmesan crumble topping. I used the savoury galette dough for my tart shells. I didn’t want to be eating this all week, so I quartered the recipe make two mini pies.

These pies turned out quite well, and look very pretty. Perhaps I’d make this recipe again for a picnic. Note the pastry and crumble must be made a couple of hours in advance, so plan accordingly if you make this.

TWD - Chunky Lemon Cornmeal Cake

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Chunky Lemon Cornmeal Cake. It is so called because it contains chopped lemon pulp as well as lemon zest, together with cornmeal. Oh, and it contains sumac!

Yep, those specks in the cake are from sumac.

Although this cake is completely unadorned, it’s big on flavour. The cornmeal adds texture to the lemon flavoured crumb.

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.

TWD - Mulled-Butter Apple Pie

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Mulled Butter Apple Pie, so called because spiced browned butter is poured over the apples before baking.

The pastry for this pie was devine - buttery, flaky, golden and melt in the mouth.

I would happily make this delicious fruity pie again (though to be honest I didn’t really taste the spices).

TWD - Pecan-Cranberry Loaf

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Pecan-Cranberry Loaf. This lovely, easy to make cake is full of pecans and cranberries. As it us an olive oil based cake, it is also quite moist.

 

It is absolutely delicious on its own, but would also be good spread with butter, or topped with a citrus glaze.

TWD - Devil’s Thumbprints

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Devil’s Thumbprints. These are soft, chocolatey cookies, rolled in sugar and filled with jam in the “thumbprint”.

I used lingonberry jam to fill my cookies because that’s what I had. The slight tartness worked well with the sweetness of the cookies.

These cookies were delicious- I’d make them again.
