Pear tarte tatin in a Pecorino Toscano PDO – flavored pastry dough crust served with fresh pecorino-flavored chantilly cream



FacebookTwitterPinterestShare

Ingredients

For the pastry dough:

  • 2 cups (250 g) flour 00,
  • ½ cup (125 g) butter,
  • ¾ cup (80 g) Pecorino Toscano PDO,
  • 2 egg yolks,
  • 1 whole egg.

For the Tarte Tatin filling:

  • 4/5 Kaiser pears,
  • 1/3 cup (80 g butter),
  • 1/3 cup (80 g sugar),
  • ¼ (50 g) sugar.

For Chantilly:

  • 1 cup (250 g) of fresh cream,
  • 1 cup (100 g) of fresh pecorino


Instructions

The night before, melt the butter at room temperature in a medium-sized bowl, then mix it in the egg yolks with a kitchen robot or an electric mixer. Add the sifted flour and pecorino which you should have already mixed with a blender. You should get a smooth mixture that can be put in the refrigerator at least overnight.

Meanwhile, bring the cream close to a boil with the freshly-blended pecorino. Mix well until completely dissolved. Turn off the heat, let cool and then store in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, take out the pastry dough and bring it back to room temperature. Knead and roll it out on a sheet of parchment paper. Try to make a circle the size of the pan you need to cover. (I use an adjustable circle as a template). Put the pastry dough circle in the freezer for 15 minutes. This will make it easier to spread the pastry dough without breaking it.

Cut the pears in half lengthwise, peel them and remove the core. Melt the butter in a pan large enough to hold the pears in a single layer, add sugar, stir and cook over medium heat until they have formed a dark caramel crust. Let the pear halves cook for a few minutes, turning them gently so that they get covered in caramel. Place pears with the cut part facing downwards in a 9-inch wide baking pan covered with parchment paper and sprinkle with the caramel.

Cover with the pastry dough circle, making it fit everything around the edges of the pan. Bake at 400 °F (200 °F) for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Let cool and serve turning it upside down, so that you see the pears cut. While your Tarte Tatin cools, remove the Chantilly cream from the fridge and whip the cream until you get the consistency of whipped cream. Serve each slice of pie with a scoop of pecorino Chantilly cream.

Cheese ball on a waffle with Pecorino Toscano cheese PDO and mango chutney

Ingredients

for 5 waffle:

  • 2 eggs,
  • ¼ cup (50 g) butter,
  • 1 cup (100 g) aged Pecorino Toscano PDO,
  • 1 ½ cup (150 g) unbleached flour,
  • ¾ cup (200 ml) milk

For the Pecorino cheese ball:

  • 1 cup (100 g) Pecorino Toscano PDO,
  • milk to taste

For mango chutney:

  • 1 mango (gross weight 500-550 g),
  • 3 tablespoons raisins,
  • ½ cup (120 g) apple cider vinegar,
  • ½ cup (120 g) sugar,
  • 1 minced shallot,
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger,
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin,
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric,
  • 4 cardamom pods,
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds,
  • 1/2 clove of minced garlic,
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper,
  • 1 cinnamon stick


Instructions

The chutney can be prepared the day before. Peel the mango and cut into one-inch pieces. Put them in a bowl and cover with sugar, stir with a spoon and cover with plastic wrap. Store it in the refrigerator for at least two hours but for a maximum of 4 hours. Prepare the spices according to the amount indicated.

As for the cardamom, use only the seeds inside the shell. Measure the vinegar. In a saucepan, place the mango with all the water it has released, vinegar and other ingredients, without forgetting anything. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally with a spoon. The times may vary depending on how hot the stove is and how much water evaporates from the mango.

When the liquid has almost completely evaporated and been reduced to a syrup, turn off the heat and place the mango chutney into a jar. It makes about 4 cups (400 g) of mango chutney. Let cool completely and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. To make the waffles, first beat the eggs. Add the melted butter once it has cooled completely. Add the grated aged Tuscan Pecorino and mix everything well. Add sifted flour, little by little, alternating with milk. You should get a fluffy mixture but not a liquidy one. Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for an hour.

Heat the waffle machine according to the instructions. Pour a ladle of the mixture into the waffle machine until it has been all used up. Dice the pecorino cheese into small squares, put in a bowl, and cover with milk. Let it sit for one hour. Beat it using a hand mixer, adding milk if it is too thick. The mix should be slightly soft. Assemble the dish: place a waffle on it, put the ice cream ball in the middle of the Pecorino using an ice cream scoop, and then garnish with the mango chutney.

Ingredients

Pecorino Toscano flavoured cookies:

  • 100 g of unbleached flour
  • 20 g of blanched almonds
  • 90 g of grated Pecorino Toscano PDO
  • 50 g of butter
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Mango chutney:

  • 300 g of mango pulp
  • 80 g of red onion
  • 60 g of sugar
  • 10 g of pectin
  • 2 tablespoons of white wine
  • 2 tablespoons of corn oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon of hot paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
  • A little powdered saffron


Preparation

Crush the almonds into powder. Add them to flour, grated Pecorino Toscano, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
Cut the butter into small pieces and rub it between your fingers with the flour until the dough is crumbly.
Add the beaten egg yolk and, if you need to make the dough more compact, add a bit of egg white.
Knead quickly without overheating the dough, put it into some plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour. Take it out five minutes before using it.
Pull the dough to the rolling pin until it is about 3 mm thick, make circles with a cookie cutter, and let them rest.

Thinly slice the onion and fry it on low heat with the oil.
After a few minutes, add the grated garlic and, when the onions are soft, add diced mango, sugar, pectin, and salt. Stir well, then add vinegar and spices.
Cook until the jam becomes firmer. For a smoother consistency, puree it with the blender.

Put a bit of mango chutney on top of each circle. Cover the chutney using another circle with a hole in the centre.
Refrigerate for 10 minutes, then bake at 180 ° C for about 15 minutes. Let the biscuits rest for a while, then serve them.

Calcioni, caciuni, cacioni sweets from the marche region stuffed with Pecorino Toscano PDO and sugar

Ingredients

Serves about 40 Cacioni

For the pastry dough:

  • 2 ½ cups (250 g) flour,
  • 2 eggs,
  • ¼ cup (50 g) sugar

For the filling:

  • 2 cups (250 g) fresh Pecoino Toscano PDO,
  • 1 ¼ cup (150 g) aged Pecorino Toscano PDO cheese,
  • 2/3 cup (150 g) sugar,
  • juice of 2 lemons,
  • 1 grated lemon rind,
  • 1 egg,
  • 1 egg white,
  • egg yolk and enough cream to brush the surface.


Instructions

Start by making the filling. Mix the two grated cheeses in a large bowl. Add sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and the lightly beaten eggs. Mix well and let the filling “age” the in your fridge. For the pastry dough, simply mix the flour with the beaten eggs and sugar. Shape it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Now roll out the dough. It’s not easy to roll it out. If you have a pasta machine, also known as Grandma Duck, it will be easier to get the dough as thin as possible. Cut out circles measuring 8 cm in diameter with a dough cutter or even better using grandma’s favorite cookie cutter: an easy, efficient glass.
Put a good teaspoon of the filling on eachdough circle. It must be nice and “chubby”. Fold the dough into crescents and seal theedges with fork tines.

Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the surface with a mixture of egg yolk and cream. Cut two slits to make an open cross in the middle of the crust with scissors, typical of this cake. Cook in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes. It’s ready when the crust is golden brown and the filling comes out like lava would from a “volcano”.
