Diese Rote Bete Tarte Tatin mit Feta hat sich zu einem meiner Lieblingsgerichte diesen Winters etabliert!

Bereits dreimal habe ich sie gemacht und das heißt was bei mir!

Rote Bete Tarte Tatin mit Feta

Rote Bete Rezepte sind hier auf dem Blog noch etwas rar gesät. Einerseits liebe ich rote Bete, denn welches Gemüse hat bitte ein vergleichbares süßliches Aroma und trotzdem eine so tolle Konsistenz? Und das im Winter, sprich KEIN Kohlgemüse. Eben.

Aber dann liegen die rote Bete im Gemüsefach und mein Gesicht verwandelt sich in ein Fragezeichen, weil ich mal wieder nicht weiß was ich damit anstellen soll. Da kam mir das Rezept von Natalie gerade recht. Angepasst habe ich nur ein paar Kleinigkeiten, z,B. den Zucker reduziert und vor allem gibt es bei mir selbstgemachten Tarteteig. Denn ich finde eine gute Tarte Tatin steht und fällt mit dem Teig (okay und dass sie aus der Form geht). Und was habe ich viele Tarte Tatins ausprobiert um die perfekte Tarte Tatin zu finden mit dem richtigen Teig. Micha von Grain de Sel hat glücklicherweise das beste Rezept dafür!

Ist übrigens gar nicht schwer, ihr müsst also keine Angst haben! So wie auch der Rest der Tarte, das einzige was ihr benötigt ist etwas Zeit. Der Teig muss eine Stunde kühl gestellt werden, aber man kann ihn auch schon am Tag vorher zubereiten. Die rote Bete sollte schon halbwegs gegart sein, bevor die Tarte in den Ofen kommt.

Getoppt wird die fertige Tarte dann mit wunderbarem salzigen Feta, ein herrlicher Kontrast zur süßen rote Bete und dem knusprigen Teig! Hach, ich könnte schon wieder eine essen!

Friandaises mit roten JohannisbeerenRed Currant Friandaises

Update: Für das deutsche Rezept nach unten scrollen!

When I remember of red currants, I think of me as a child, standing in front of the red currant bushes in the garden of my relatives in Coburg. Just plucking and nibbling one after the other with pleasure. Really loved that time of year, since I’m still loving it today. And I’m still in love with red currants.

Friandaises mit roten Johannisbeeren

Unfortunately we don’t have a garden, so no nibbling them straight from the bushes for me. But by the time you buy them and they are coming in boxes, it isn’t so tempting anymore to eat them straight away. So I thought about what I could do with them anyway. Since I was also looking for something, which uses up some of my left over egg whites, I just thought of friandaises. Usually I make them with flaked almonds. The friandaises are light and mellow pastries with crunchy edges. They are divine! And they use up 6 egg whites!

Friandaises mit roten Johannisbeeren

I substituted the almond flakes with red currants. The red currants are really pairing well in the friandaises! I’m evenly surprised, how good the red currants come of in pastry in general. So maybe there will be coming up more with them!

Friandaises mit roten Johannisbeeren

Traditionally friandaises are baked in little moulds formed like ships. But since It’s a lot of dough just for the ships I also put some dough in moulds, that were about the same size like muffin moulds. In the smaller moulds your friandaises will become more crispy, which I prefer. Another good option may be moulds for madeleines, since they are also very small.

Schokoladen Macarons mit HimbeerfüllungChocolate Macarons with Raspberry Filling

Schokoladen Macarons mit Himbeerfüllung

Since on the 20. March was Macaron Day I decided to show you my latest accomplishment in macarons.

Yes, there exists a special day for macarons! In Paris are special shops, that sell macarons all day long and on macarons day you can get some free! Unfortunately I never had the chance to be there (on macarons day or sometime else). As macarons are not very popular in Germany, ok unknown would be the better word… I mean most people don’t even know what cupcakes are… so you couldn’t say macarons are the new cupcakes ;). Anyway what I wanted to say is, that there won’t be shops in Germany, that sell macarons.

Schokoladen Macarons mit Himbeerfüllung

But most often I think anyway it’s better and more fun to do it myself. I mean look at those little beauties. Just want to grab one immediately and stuff it into my mouth.

And in your mouth you have the rich chocolate flavour and now you think “yeah and in the middle even more boring chocolate”… haha no! In the middle is chocolate (and do use the good one!) with raspberry puree! It’s soo delicious.

Schokoladen Macarons mit Himbeerfüllung

So if you didn’t do it, celebrate macarons day with some lovely macarons. Even more if you have some egg whites sitting in your fridge and you don’t know what do to with them. So you have to make some macarons, because it would be a pity to throw all the egg whites away. And you will feel a lot better, when you use them up and they are not looking at you anymore out of the fridge, making you guilty, because you don’t know what to do with them. Believe me, what a relief to make macarons!

And it is not difficult. Ok my first try wasn’t what I expected. They tasted good, but they didn’t look like macarons. So for some tipps, you can look up my first post with macarons.

Don’t be worried, if my post is looking some what different, because I’m trying it the first time with Windows Live Writer, instead of that Google crap. Yeah, you read right. It’s just driven me into insanity some times. So maybe that here works better. I’m yet “astonished” by the amount of fonts and options to embed my pictures. You see, after Google I’m very easy to impress.

But don’t want to bore you with that theoretical things.

Crème Brûlée mit Gewürzenspiced Crème Brûlée

Update: Für das deutsche Rezept nach unten scrollen!

As you noticed I didn’t had much time for blogging this month and so unfortunately not a single recipe found it’s way in my beloved blog in novembre. But I cannot bear it that novembre goes away empty handed.

So two weeks ago I made some delicious Crème Brûlée, which I spiced with some orange peels and cinnamon. But feel free to try the spices you like. Originally I wanted to do it with lavender and fennel seeds, but I didn’t had lavender at home. Fortunately I made some pictures of the crème, which didn’t turn out that pretty, but better than nothing this month.So here’s the recipe for you. You can also make some more for dessert the next evening, because they have to cool down anyway before caramelizing the top.

Zimt und Anis MacaronsCinnamon and Anise Macarons

Update: Für das deutsche Rezept nach unten scrollen!

This month challenge for the Daring Bakers were French Macarons. The 2009 October Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming’s The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe.

Zimt und Anis Macarons

I was a bit scared, because I tried macarons some weeks ago the first time and they went totally wrong. The shells weren’t really hard, almost no „feet“ (you can see feet in the picture of my succesful anis macarons below) and they were much too soft. But I was also eager to do it better.

Zimt und Anis Macarons

In the (english) food blog world everyone is about macarons. But here in Germany nobody knows them. Or precisely macarons are known as something different. Dessicated coconut with beaten egg whites and sometimes nuts or chocolate within. „Feets“ are not wanted, it’s more like small piles. Germans wake up and get to know french macarons!

The challenge itself was challenging. After my first mishappening and reading in the Daring Bakers Forum about the problems with the recipe given and the better-going recipes with Tartelette’s one, I decided to give the disaster not a chance again and go with Tartelette’s recipe.

The recipe is very easy to vary. I made the Cinnamon Macarons with hazelnuts and a Tbsp. cinnamon and a gianduja (rounded up with some cream) filling and the Anise Macarons with almonds a Tbsp. grounded anise and a white chocolate filling.

Zimt und Anis Macarons

Some tips, which I found important are:

Ground your grounded nuts again yourself (something like a Moulinette would be helpful). They are not fine enough. Sieve your powdered sugar before.

I used a silicone mat and normal parchment paper and I would prefer the parchment paper here, because the macarons sticked so much to my silicone mat, I didn’t get them off right. Also after baking let them cool for about 15 minutes outside, then move the baking sheet back in the warm (but not hot!) oven. Let them cool completely over the night. Mine were mostly *fingers crossed* easy to peel off the parchment paper. If it doesn’t work give some sprinkles of water under the paper, if the sheet is still warm or hold it over some steaming water. The steam dissolves the macarons from the paper.

For piping: stand your bag up in a high glass. It’s easier for filling and when you rest.

In my opinion the macarons are the better the smaller they are. Furthermore the ywill expand a little while baking. Hope all this helps. If you have any questions feel free to ask! This is how my macarons looked like after piping, while drying, before baking.
