Sun Dried Tomato And Rosemary Palmiers Recipes

Steps:

• For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place the bread pieces on a large sheet pan.
• Drizzle over the olive oil and toss to coat well. Sprinkle over the salt and dried mixed herbs and toss again. Bake for 15 minutes, until crisp and golden. Whilst the croutons are baking make the soup.
• For the soup: Sauté the celery and onion in the olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven for 2 or 3 minutes, until they start to soften.
• Drain the jars of tomatoes through a sieve over a bowl, retaining the juice (about 10.5 fluid ounces of liquid). Dissolve the vegetable bouillon powder in the boiling water and add to the retained liquid from the jarred tomatoes.
• Add the Roma tomatoes, tomato paste, chili jam and rosemary sprigs to the pan with the celery and onion. Pour in the bouillon and tomato-water mixture, bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
• Fish out the rosemary sprigs. Blitz until smooth with an immersion blender, stir in the plant-based cream and season with black pepper.
• To serve, divide the soup among 4 bowls and sprinkle the croutons on top.

Steps:

• Lightly flour a board and carefully unfold one sheet of puff pastry. Roll the pastry lightly with a rolling pin until it's 9 1/2 by 11 1/2-inches. Spread the sheet of puff pastry with half the pesto, then sprinkle with half the goat cheese, half the sundried tomatoes, and half the pine nuts. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Working from the short ends, fold each end halfway to the center. Then fold each side again towards the center until the folded edges almost touch. Fold one side over the other and press lightly. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the entire instructions for the second sheet of puff pastry using the remaining ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the prepared rolls of puff pastry in 1/4 inch thick slices and place them face up 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 14 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.
• Place the walnuts, pignolis, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process for 30 seconds. Add the basil leaves, salt, and pepper. With the processor running, slowly pour the olive oil into the bowl through the feed tube and process until the pesto is finely pureed. Add the Parmesan and puree for a minute. Serve, or store the pesto in the refrigerator or freezer with a thin film of olive oil on top.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Roll out one sheet of pastry into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Trim to approximately 8 inches wide by 11 inches long. Spread half the ricotta on pastry. Spread half the sun-dried-tomato paste on top. Sprinkle with half the Parmesan. Roll each long edge of the pastry into the center of the rectangle, making sure the pastry is tight and even. Repeat process with the remaining sheet of pastry, ricotta, tomato paste, and Parmesan. Wrap rolls separately with plastic wrap, and transfer to the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes. (Rolls can be frozen at this point for up to 1 month. When ready to bake, remove rolls from freezer; let stand at room temperature until a sharp knife can slice through without compressing them, about 10 minutes.)
• Remove rolls from refrigerator, and slice into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place palmiers 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until puffed and lightly golden, 8 to 9 minutes. Turn over, and bake until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Let cool completely on wire rack.

Steps:

• Place first 5 ingredients in a mini-chopper; process until finely chopped. Unfold dough, and roll to a 10 x 9 inch rectangle. Spread the tomato mixture over dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Roll up long side of dough (from both sides), jelly-roll fashion, until sides meet in the middle. Chill 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut dough crosswise into 20 slices. Arrange slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
