Rhubarb Yogurt Parfait
Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu Cooking schedule: see below for instructions
You could use a purchased pizza crust rather than the Puff Pastry if you prefer, but we like the lightness of the pastry crust.
Puff Pastry Pizza with Green Garlic and Green Olives
Total time: 30 minutes
Use any cheese you like for this. The puff pastry makes a light and flaky crust and the pizza is ready in no time!
Ingredients:
- 1 puff pastry
- 2 large tomatoes
- 1 cup (4oz, 120gr) shredded cheese
- 4 slices Prosciutto, (app. 4oz, 120gr)
- 12 green olives
- 2 green garlic substitute 2 green onions
- 2 tbs fresh marjoram substitute 2 tsp dried
- 1/4 cup Parmesan, freshly grated
Instructions:
- Lay the pastry crust out on a baking sheet.
- Slice tomatoes as thinly as possible, 8 - 10 slices per tomato.
- Tear Prosciutto into small pieces.
- Trim and slice green garlic, using the green as well as the white.
- Slice the olives.
- Arrange the tomato slices on the pastry.
- Lay the Prosciutto on top.
- Sprinkle with green garlic, marjoram, olives and cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven, 400F (200C) for 20 - 25 minutes, or until crust and top are golden brown.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan just before slicing.
Rhubarb Yogurt Parfait
Total time: 20 minutes
Rhubarb sauce is simple: rhubarb and sugar. I like tart; if you prefer sweet add a bit more sugar. The sauce will keep about a week in the fridge so double or triple the recipe if you like.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sliced, fresh rhubarb, about 2 stalks
- 2 tbs sugar
- 1 tbs water
- 1 cup (8oz 240gr) vanilla yogurt
Instructions:
- Wash the rhubarb and slice it about 1/4" (.5cm) thick.
- No need to peel but pull off any stringy bits as you slice. Use a sharp knife.
- Put in a saucepan with the water and sugar.
- Cover and cook over medium heat until very soft.
- Taste and add more sugar if you like - before removing from heat.
- Chill.
- To serve
- In a parfait or champagne flute, or other glass, layer the rhubarb sauce and yogurt. Serve.
Also good over vanilla ice cream....
