Simplified Lemon Pie

Guys, I have worked on my previous lemon pie recipe and simplified it. After eight years of baking experience under my belt some of the previous steps seemed unnecessary. I am currently on holiday in Spain and the niece of my husband is graduating from high school. She was in dire need of some pie during all of the study sessions. She actually requested lemon pie so I got to work on it. My previous pie recipe saved as the base. However, I knew right away that I had to adjust some things here and there. In the end I altered the pie dough, made a simpler lemon filling and also wanted a more stable meringue on the top.

Tomatoe Tart with Fresh Tomatoes

Today you will get a homemade tomatoe tart with homemade red pesto and a thick layer of tomatoes! If you are going to make the pesto as well, you will need more than a kilo of tomatoes. I introduced my red pesto with fresh tomatoes on the blog last year. It has become pretty popular among my readers. This year I finally managed to also introduce you to my beloved tomatoe tart, which contains the red pesto as well. Think a pie crust with a layer of red pesto, a layer of fresh tomatoes and cheese and pine nuts on the top. I really enjoy this tart a lot and make it each year several times. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Peach Tart with Four Ingredients

Today I am presenting a peach tart with only four ingredients: peaches, flour, sugar, and butter. If you have these ingredients at home, feel free to get started on this beauty. This is an upsidedown cake, so you will need an ovenproof pan. However, the tarts I photographed here were all made in Spain and I didn’t have an ovenproof frying pan. This is also possible, just make the caramel separately. Think caramelized peaches that are held together by some dough and you will get this summery dessert. Serve with a dollop of whipping cream or ice cream and you’ve got summer on your plate.

Rhubarb Strawberry Crostata

Today I am presenting a rhubarb strawberry crostata or rhubarb strawberry galette. You may call a crostata or galette the cousin of rhubarb pie or rhubarb tart. Yes, you have pie dough, but you just roll it out to a circle, arrange the fruits in the middle of it, and then you fold the edges toward the middle. There is no lattice pattern, no need to decorate, or even using a pie dish, this is much faster and easier. I was very much in the mood for a simple and quick tart, so here it is. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making this crostata. If you prepare the dough the night before, it comes together in a jiffy.

Tarte au Riz or Rice Pudding Tart from Belgium

Rice puddig tart is an elevated form of rice pudding. You are going to pour the prepared pudding into a tart form, which was lined with yeast dough. Since it will be baked at a very high temperature just like pizza, this will result in a caramelized top, yet creamy center. I would like to invite you to try this dessert from Belgium. If you like rice pudding, you will love this rice pudding tart from Verviers in Belgium.

Meat Pie with Leftovers from Christmas

Everybody talks about sustainability and I am doing my best not to waste resources. Today I decided to put this into practice by using leftovers from Christmas and make something delicious with it. In my opinion a pie is the secret to any leftovers. As soon as you sandwich leftovers between pie dough, it makes it so much better. And to make it even more convenient, you can freeze the unbaked pie, so you can enjoy it at a completely different time and don’t have to eat the same thing for a week. Plus, even something like gravy can be hidden in this pie. The pictures show a pie that contains leftover cranberry sauce. Another version I made was with some apple and raisins. Both were extremely delicious.

Onion Tart from Germany

Onion tart (Zwiebelkuchen) with a loooot of onions nestled into a thin pastry dough and covered with a cream and eggs mixture. This is exactly how I like it. It may be something savory, it may be sweet, but I always want more filling than dough, that is for sure. That’s why I created this recipe. This onion tart is traditionally served in September with the first wine of the season. This wine is called “federweißer”, it is only partially fermented and is pretty sweet. When I lived in Dresden, I was sure to visit the wine festivals (the wine from Radebeul is pretty popular) and eat my share of Zwiebelkuchen. It is divine! The version below contains caramelized onions mixed with some bacon, a dough similar to pie pastry and is then topped off with an egg and cream mixture. I am telling you, this is sooo delicious!

Old-fashioned Rhubarb Pie

Old-fashioned rhubarb pie! Guys, I am ashamed to say, but this pie was polished within two days and it is only th two of us! If you love rhubarb, this pie is for you. It is a very simple, very plain pie, a buttery pie crust holds together: rhubarb. Yeah, duh, I decided to go for no further adornments, no additional spices, no egg, no custard, no nothing, just loads and loads of rhubarb. It is sweetened with sugar and tapioca starch will serve as the binder, but that’s it. I enjoyed mine with a dollop of whipping cream. Feel free to serve with ice cream or just eat plain!

Pascualina, a Savory Pie from Uruguay with Egg and Spinach

Pascualina is a savory pie from Uruguay prepared with spinach and eggs. “Pascua” translates as Easter, thus this pie is usually eaten during the holy week or “semana santa”. As many Uruguayans have Italian ancestry, many Italian dishes were adapted to what was available in Uruguay. In Italy pascualina is normally prepared with ricotta and Parmesan cheese, however, Uruguayans like to infuse flavor with bacon and additional veggies such as bell peppers. Other dishes include milanesa, cutlets, which already tell you the origin. Another is the quince tart named pasta frola, which is very popular in Uruguay.
