Roasted Vegetable Strudel

Roasted Vegetable Strudel

Apr 8, 2013

Flaky phyllo pastry is the perfect envelope to contain these tender roasted vegetables. Feel free to change up the vegetables – red peppers, artichoke hearts and asparagus are other delicious options. To turn this veggie main into a side dish or appetizer, cut it into 12 portions.

Cranberry Almond Squares

Cranberry Almond Squares

Oct 1, 2014

Sweet-tart cranberries are cooked with a hint of orange to make an easy jam-like filling, then sandwiched between layers of crisp almond pastry. Freshly ground almonds are crunchier than the storebought ground variety, so whirl whole nuts in a food processor for the ultimate nutty crust.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Mar 3, 2009

We took on the challenge of creating a no–trans fat pastry, which meant cutting out shortening. It wasn't as easy as replacing the shortening with butter; we had to adjust the amounts of liquid, butter and flour and revise the rolling-out method to create a crust you'll want to use for all your summer fruit pies.

Roasted Shallot and Red Pepper Tarts

Roasted Shallot and Red Pepper Tarts

Mar 2, 2009

Instead of small tarts, you could bake this in a 9-inch (23 cm) quiche pan; just add 1 more egg and increase the cream by 1/4 cup (50 mL). Making pastry in a food processor is a breeze but, of course, you can also make it by hand. Serve on a bed of vinaigrette-dressed watercress.

These rich and elegant individual pot pies feature tender, flavourful asparagus and are crowned with a fluffy potato topping in lieu of pastry. Trim or snap off the fibrous ends of the asparagus to make sure the tenderest pieces end up in the pies. Serve with a simple green salad.

These puff-pastry turnovers look so professional, guests will think that you went out and bought them. If you have a few leftover cooked green peas, add 1/3 cup (75 mL) to the filling. Serve with a tossed salad or a spinach-and-orange salad dressed with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the turnovers' fruity sweetness.

Strawberry Rhubarb Tart

Strawberry Rhubarb Tart

Jul 14, 2005

When you're 131 years old, there has to be a pretty special dish to match the celebration. Here it is — fresh strawberries fanned over a tangy rhubarb sauce in a buttery shortbread pat-in pastry. Extra maple leaves set off Canada's favourite summer combo of rhubarb and berries. Better than a birthday cake any day!

Cherry and Ricotta Turnovers

Cherry and Ricotta Turnovers

Jun 1, 2016

Flaky turnovers with a tart cherry and rich ricotta filling are a welcome addition to any table. Look for butter puff pastry in the freezer section of your grocery store and thaw in the refrigerator overnight. For an extra layer of crunch, sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts or sliced almonds onto the turnovers before baking.

Buñuelos

Buñuelos

These fried pastries are sold as street food in Mexico and also show up as a Hanukkah treat in Mexican Jewish homes. If you prefer, omit the syrup and dust them with cinnamon sugar or icing sugar. We prefer safflower oil for frying because of the crisp texture and light, clean taste it gives.  

Prosciutto and Cheddar Puffs

Prosciutto and Cheddar Puffs

Oct 23, 2008

Cheese puffs, or gougeres, are a French hors d'oeuvre traditionally made of choux pastry and Gruyere cheese. Caraway seeds, specks of prosciutto and aged Cheddar cheese make this a new version. For the fullest flavour and the highest, lightest puffs, use a well-aged cheese, such as three-year-old Cheddar.
