Tarte tatin is a French recipe, discovered or created by accident.I read the story about it here. Caramelized fruit is layered at the base and covered with a pastry dough and baked and served upside down. I have made the savory version of the same, with ready made pastry dough. It is a very quick snack which I made for my kid when he returned from school. Well, it does require about 30 minutes of baking time....and more preparation if you make the pastry dough from scratch. As, I used the ready made shortcrust pastry found in the frozen section of the supermarket, I will post the recipe of short crust pastry some other time.
I bought this herb "rosemary" fresh for the very first time. I have used the dried version that comes in plastic bottles. The green leaves are so fragrant. Google came to my help again and so did my friends. They gave me lovely suggestions. I picked up an unusual recipe to try. Usually, when you think of Madelines, you think of a light buttery soft cake-like french cookies made by beating a lot of eggs and lot of butter. This recipe is very light and doesn't use regular fat like butter/oil. Instead low-fat yogurt is used and I was surprised to know that it works to make this savory version light and airy. Got this recipe here. The blog writer suggested that these madelines will go well with a lobster bisque :) Well, I din't have any ingredients for the bisque, so I made a rosemary flavored tomato soup to go with it.
