ASPARAGUS TART
« on: March 17, 2010, 08:47:48 am »
ASPARUGS TART  - TORTA DI ASPARAGI -

From the new book at the same "Best of bimby.it "..... posted by a member of the italian forum Bimby

Serves for 6 persons

For the dough:
200 g of flour type 0
100 g of butter in pieces
150 g ricotta (fresh cheese§)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

baking dish or 24-26 cm


For the filling:
30 g Grana Padano cheese in pieces
50 g smoked cheese or provola taleggio or in pieces
100 g of boiled asparagus + q.b. for decoration
100 g ricotta (fresh cheese)
3 eggs (60 g)
1 teaspoon salt


Prepare the dough:
Pour into mug flour, butter, ricotta (fresh cheese) salt and pepper and mix: 20 sec / vel. 6.
put the dough in refrigerator for 15 minutes. I have not done very well and was lying between two sheets of oven paper.

Prepare the filling:
 Put the jug in Grana Padano and chop: 4 seconds per vel. 8. (I put parmesan already chopped above.)
Add the smoked cheese, asparagus, cut into pieces (leave aside some whole for decoration) and mix it all: 3 sec. / vel.
Combine the ricotta (fresh cheese) eggs and salt, mix it all: 15 sec / vel. 4.
Pour the mixture on the base and decorate with some steamed asparagus. Bake at 180 degrees for 30-40 min. about. (static oven).

bon appetit

Thanks Solare - is that the Il Meglio di Bimby attachment in the Cookaround forum that I cannot open ?

That tart looks great.  Thanks - I like the pastry with ricotta, it sounds interesting.

Instead of steaming, how long would you put the asparagus in the microwave for do you reckon? Also, what is the name of a smoked cheese that we can get in an Aussie supermarket?

CP63 my local WW has smoked cheese in it. I'm afraid I can't remember the maker but if you look with the Mersey cheese and South Cape it should be there.  Sometimes it is in a sausage shape about 10cm long and 2.5 cm thick. (I hope my conversion from inches to cm is accurate)
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

My manual for a 1200 watt microwave says to cook 500g asparagus on high for 3-4 minutes and allow to stand 3 mins before serving CP63.  Firstly, trim the woody ends, wash and place in a covered dish. The water clinging to the spears should be enough to create the steam but you could add 1 tblspns extra to be sure. Smaller quantities I would just do for 30 seconds at a time and check as they overcook quite easily.  Don't use the really pencil thin ones for this very reason.
