Make crostini de queijo azul e alho francês // blue cheese and leek crostini

a primavera é a minha estação favorita. nunca foi. mas é-a agora. quando os dias ficam grandes. muito, muito grandes. entre maio e junho. quando tudo é novo. quando os ingredientes são frescos. quando os sabores são diferentes. quando os parques são novidade, outra vez. quando a temperatura amena é uma sensação estranha. e nova. e boa. quando almoços no pátio são recorrentes. quando faço tantas experiências culinárias, que não consigo nem ter tempo de as publicar no blogue. quando é tão bom viajar. porque os dias têm um maior número de horas de sol. e os dias são maiores. com o sol a nascer pelas seis horas da manhã e o a pôr-se pelas nove da noite. e a luz é perfeita!

spring is my favourite season. never was. but it is now. when the days are big. much bigger. especially between may and june. when everything is new. when the vegetables are fresh. when the flavours are different. when the parks are new, again. when a warm weather is a strange feeling. and new. and good. when lunches in the backyard are common. when I make so many new culinary experiences that I don't have enough time to publish them on the blog. when it is so good to travel. because the days have a bigger number of hours of sunshine. and the days are bigger too. when the sun rises at six in the morning and sets by nine in the evening. and the light is just perfect.

Serves 4
Preparation time:  20 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour

60g unsalted butter, chilled & cubed
1 tbsp cold water
A little egg white for brushing

Preparation method

1.  To make the pastry, place the flour and salt into a large bowl and add the butter cubes.  Rub the butter into the flour with your fingers until it resembles crumbs.  Now add 1 tbsp of water and knead until you have a ball of dough.  Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

2.  Meanwhile, grease a 18cm cake tin and preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4.

3.  Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and line the prepared tin, leave the excess pastry overhanging the rim of the tin.  Place greaseproof paper over the pastry and cover with a layer of baking beans.  Blind bake in the oven for 20 minutes.  Remove the paper and the beans, prick the pastry with a folk and brush with a little egg white and bake in the over for a further 5 minutes.

4.  For the filling, in a large frying pan heat the butter and oil and then add the rosemary and cook for about 30 seconds stirring occasionally.  Now add the leeks and season with salt and pepper, stir for a few minutes and then cover for 15 minutes to sweat and become tender.

5.  Meanwhile in a bowl whisk together the crème fraiche, eggs, egg yolks and season.  Place a strainer on top of the bowl and when the leeks are cooked drain and let the buttery leek juices run into the creamy mixture.

6.  Remove the pastry case from the oven and lay with the salmon chunks, place the leeks on top.  Now pour over the creamy egg mixture and place in the oven.  Bake for 30-40 minutes until the filling is golden brown and set.  Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool before serving.

7.  Slice the tart and serve with a dressed salad, enjoy!
