Romanesco and cauliflower green quiche

Get the green burgeoning quiche out of the oven…

Take a generous wedge ! That’s another fancy plant based meal.

Two cousins : romanesco and classic white cauliflower.

Dough : 1/2 cup flour + 1 ts of matcha green tea + a pinch of salt + 1 ts olive oil + hot water
Batter : 1 cup pasted cauliflower, 1/2 block of tofu, 1tbs potato starch, 1 ts miso, 1 tbs sakekasu (sake lees), marjoram, salt, pepper, nutmeg
Garnishing : young onion, cauliflower, romanesco, fresh marjoram

I pre-baked the crust together with the onion, before garnishing, then drizzle olive oil on top and rebake till the top gets sunburns…

Yum yum…

Tarte au sucre lorraine (grandma’s sugar bread)

La tarte au sucre du dimanche. The sugar pie for Sunday afternoon visitors.
Yes, there are 2 of them in this post. Not the same days. OK, 2 days in a row. You start eating this humble simple sweet brioche, and you never stop…

The grandmas (les Mémés ) and the aunties (les Tantines) would bake it. With little variations. Poked or not. Just butter or a little cream.

Ideal with a cup of coffee. Yes, I have mismatch vessels… That makes the food taste more authentic.

Tarte fine aux abricots et au chocolat

Apricot and chocolate thin pie. Ready in a few minutes, baked in the oven-toaster.

Dried apricots. Rehydrated in tea and apricot liquor.

A simple dough (flour, oil, hot water, salt), coconut cream, black sugar. That’s all.

That’s not obvious from the photo but I pre-baked the dough till it was hard, before garnishing, and re-baking.

100% cocoa chocolate chips, placed on the hot tarte. They melt in 3 minutes.

Serve immediately with coffee.

The warmth of negi leek tartlets

Another simple Winter comforting dish, full of greens. Eat it very hot…

The crust is flour, water, a little oil, a little paprika. It’s pre-cooked 15 minutes.

The creamy batter is 1/2 block of silky tofu, mixed with onion, the white parts of negi leeks, a tbs of potato starch, a little olive oil, salt, pepper. Then I added minced negi greens. Baked till golden.
