Tarta cu crema de vanilie si fructe (Vanilla Cream Fruit Tart)

Share

         Stiti cum e cu vorba aia, ai grija ce-ti doresti ca s-ar putea sa se indeplineasca? :)) pai da, a venit vara, dar a venit si umezeala odata cu vara si a transformat aerul in irespirabil; toate bune si frumoase, problema e ca mi-a cam luat cheful de a sta in bucatarie si a prepara mancaruri bune, de aceea e cam slaba si activitatea pe blog :) apetitul a scazut si el ce-i drept putin, dar tot mai fac cate ceva bun din cand in cand, mai ales dulce...si daca tot e vara si mananc fructe cu kilogramele, am zis sa fac si eu o tarta cu fructe, ca mi-am cumparat forma de tarta de vreo 2 luni si inca nu am folosit-o :)))
         Prilejul perfect a venit cu provocarea lunii iulie "Dulce Romanie", pe care o gazduieste Flory de la RETETE FEL DE FEL luna aceasta si care a propus ca ingredient si fructele de padure, dupa care eu sunt innebunita, asa ca indata m-am pus pe treaba :) Eu ii multumesc de invitatie la provocare si va rog sa-i faceti o vizita, pentru ca are niste retete minunate, tot una si una! Si acum sa vedem dulcegaria :)
         You know what they say, be careful what you wish for because your wish may come true? :) well yes, summer is definitely here but it also brought humidity and made the air unbreathable; everything's fine, but the problem is that I don't want to stay in the kitchen anymore and prepare delicious meals, that's why the activity on my blog is pretty low lately :) my appetite has decreased also, but I still make yummy things from time to time, especially sweet things...and since lately I'm eating lots of fruits, I wanted to make a fruit tart, since I bought a fruit pan 2 months ago and I never used it :)))
         The perfect occasion came with July's "Sweet Romania" challenge hosted by Flory from Retete fel de fel who chose as an ingredient Berries, which are perfect since I totally love them, I couldn't miss them. I want to thank her for the invitation and I suggest all of you to visit her blog, she has some amazing recipes posted! And now let's see the recipe for the tart :)

Ingrediente/ Ingredients:

  Pt aluat/For the dough:  Sursa/Source

    125 g faina/125 g all purpose flour
    110 g unt/110 g butter
    1 ou/1 egg
    25 g zahar praf/25 g icing sugar
    1 lingura lapte/1 tablespoon with milk

Forma de tarta cu fund detasabil/ fluted tart pan with removable bottom







Pt crema de vanilie/For the vanilla cream: 

   3 galbenusuri/3 egg yolks
   400 ml lapte/400 ml milk
   25 g faina/25 g all purpose flour
   25 g amidon/25 g corn starch
   70 g zahar/70 g sugar
   vanilie/vanilla

Pt topping/For the topping:


   fructe: afine, zmeura, capsuni/ fruits: blueberry, raspberry, starwberry
 
Cum se face/How it's made:
   
Mai intai facem aluatul: intr-un bol punem faina amestecata cu zaharul, oul , untul rece taiat cubulete si laptele
We first make the dough: in a bowl we add the flour, sugar, cold butter, the egg and the milk.

Amestecam cu mana ingredientele pana se aduna laolalta, punem aluatul in folie alimentara si dam la frigider pentru minim 30 de minute, eu l-am lasat 1 ora; cu cat il lasati mai mult cu atat va fi mai fraged.
We combine the ingredients until we form a ball, we place the dough in saran wrap and we place it in the fridge for at least 30 min, I left it for 1 hour; the more it stays in the fridge the tender it will be.

Scoatem aluatul din frigider dupa 1 ora si il intindem in mod egal cu sucitorul pe blatul infainat pana e mai mare ca si forma si ungem forma de tarta cu unt.
We remove the dough from the fridge after 1 hour and we roll it with a rolling pin until it's bigger than the tart pan and we grease the tart pan with butter.

Usor luam aluatul si il potrivim in forma iar cu dosul unei linguri presam usor pe striatii.(daca se rupe pe alocuri, puteti sa completati cu aluat)
We gently take the rolled dough and we place it in the pan and using a wood spoon we make the lines on sides.

                                                                              
Indepartam surplusul de aluat pe margini si intepam aluatul cu furculita pentru a nu se umfla la coacere.
We cut off the remaining dough on sides and using a fork we make holes in the dough, to prevent dough to rise while baking.

Peste tarta punem hartie de copt si bile ceramice, sau fasole, orez, etc, pentru a coace tarta si a o preveni sa se umfle la coacere.
On top of the dough we place a baking paper sheet and ceramic balls (for baking), or beans, rice, etc, to prevent the tart from rising while baking.(blind baking)

Punem tarta in cuptorul preincalzit la 170 grade pentru 20 de minute, iar dupa acest timp luam hartia si greutatile jos si mai lasam inca aproximativ 5 minute (eu am scazut si temperatura putin); tarta e gata cand devine aurie.
 Cand e coapta, o scoatem pe un gratar impingand fundul de tava in sus usor. Pentru prima data a iesit perfect , aluatul e foarte gustos, nisipos si aromat si nu se rupe deloc; doar sa aveti grija sa rulati aluatul pana sus, ca la coacere el se va lasa putin si inca ceva: mare grija la cum scoateti tarta, eu m-am ars rau la mana cu marginea tavii!!!
We place the pan in the preheated oven at 340 degrees  for 20 minutes, and after 20 min we remove the baking paper and the weights and we place it back in the oven for about another 5 minutes (I reduced the temperature too a little bit); the tart shell is baked when it's golden brown. 
 When the tart is baked, we remove it from the pan by pushing the removable bottom up gently. For my first tart I think it's perfect, the dough is really tasty and doesn't break; pay attention to the dough sides when you place it in the pan, the dough tends to decrease its height a little bit and one more thing: Be very careful how you remove the shell, I got burned really bad with the side of the pan!!!

Pana se raceste aluatul ne ocupam de crema/While the shell cools, we prepare the cream filling.
 Intr-o craticioara punem galbenusurile cu zaharul, vanilia, faina, amidonul si amestecam bine cu telul, adaugand cate putin lapte, pana il punem pe tot.
In a small pot we place the egg yolks with the sugar, vanilla, flour and corn starch and we mix them all using a whisk, adding milk slowly until we add it all. 

Punem craticioara la foc mic si amestecam constant pana obtinem o crema mai groasa, pe care o lasam sa se raceasca bine. Cand crema s-a racit incepem sa asamblam tarta
We place the pot on low heat and we constantly stir until we get a thick cream, which we let it cool off. When the cream has cooled we start to assembly the tart:

Umplem tarta cu crema/We fill the tart shell with the vanilla cream.

Spalam fructele dorite si le uscam bine cu servete de hartie. Ornam tarta dupa preferinta. Voila!
We wash the fruits and we pat them dry using paper towels. We decorate the tart. Voila!

Am obtinut un desert aromat si racoritor, perfect pentru vara!
We got a very flavorful and refreshing dessert, perfect for the summer!

Foarte apetisant si foarte dorit la petreceri de toata lumea!
Appetizing and highly wanted by everyone at parties!

Sectiune...Section...

Felie pentru voi (am pus putin gelee pentru fructe)...A slice for you (I've put a little bit of glaze on the fruits)...

Sa luam o imbucatura, nu? :)  Let's take a bite, right? :)  Bon appetit!!!

Tarta alpina cu mere (Apple Tart)

     Cand il intreb pe sotul meu ce doreste la breakfast, raspunsul e acelasi: "OMLETA" :)).  Pentru mine insa, de mult timp incoace micul dejun a devenit ceva usor, gen cereale cu iaurt, tot felul de placinte sau checuri insotite de cafeaua cea de toate zilele :) Aceasta tarta face parte din aceasta categorie, e foarte rapida si merge foarte bine cu un pahar cu lapte sau cu cafea. Reteta este preluata de pe blogul Laurei Adamache, unul dintre blogurile mele preferate.

  Ingrediente:

   

    220 gr faina

    100 gr zahar tos

    100 gr unt

    2 oua

    6 linguri lapte

    1 plic zahar vanilat

    1 plic praf de copt 

    3 mere                                          

    miere pt uns (eu nu am pus)

Cum se face:

  Mai intai topim untul si il lasam sa se raceasca.

  Mixam ouale cu zaharul pana devin crema, adaugam untul topit (rece), laptele si treptat faina amestecata cu praful de copt. Turnam aluatul obtinut (trebuie sa aiba o consistenta mai groasa) intr-o forma tapetata cu unt si faina si o nivelam la suprafata.

  Deasupra asezam merele taiate sferturi si crestate in patratele, le afundam putin in aluat si le presaram cu zahar.

 Dam tava la cuptor la 180 grade pentru 30-40 minute. Cand e rumenita o scoatem si o lasam sa se raceasca. Bon appetit!

     When I ask my husband what he wants for breakfast, I get the same answer: "Omelet" :)). For me though, breakfast has lately become something more light, like cereals with yogurt, or maybe some pie or cake which go very well with my morning coffee :) This tart is part of this category, it's very easy to make and goes well with milk or coffee. The recipe is from Laura Adamache's blog, one of my favourite blogs.

Ingredients:

      220 gr flour

      100 gr sugar

      100 gr butter

      2 eggs

      6 tablespoons of milk

      vanilla

      1/2 teaspoon baking powder

      3 apples

How it's made: 

      First melt the butter and let it cool down.

      Mix the eggs with the sugar untill they look like a cream, add the melted butter, milk and gradually add the flour combined with the baking powder. Put the dough (it has to be a little thick) in a tart dish (which you had to butter and flour before), and flatten the surface nicely.

      Place the quartered apples (you can make a model like I did) above the dough and slightly press them in the dough and sprinkle some sugar on them.

      Place the tart dish in the preheated oven at 360 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Take it out of the oven, let it cool down, and serve warm. Bon appetit!

Tarta cu ciuperci si blue cheese (Mushroom and Blue Cheese Quiche)

       Imi place foarte tare combinatia dintre ciuperci si blue cheese asa ca m-am gandit sa prepar rapid o tarta cu ciuperci ca urma sa am musafiri. Am cautat o reteta simpla si cea mai apropiata a fost reteta aceasta, insa modificata dupa gustul meu.



Ingrediente:                                      

Pentru aluat :
  1 ou
  125 g unt
  250 g faina
  sare
Pentru umplutura:
  500 gr ciuperci
  50 gr blue cheese (puteti renunta)
  1 ceapa
  5 oua
  150 gr smantana
  parmezan pt deasupra (cascaval ras)
  patrunjel verde
  sare, piper


Cum se face:

Pentru aluat se amesteca toate ingredientele, iar aluatul rezultat se da la rece cel putin 30 de min.

                          

 Intre timp ne ocupam de umplutura, curatam legumele, taiem ceapa marunt si ciupercile felii, iar patrunjelul verde il tocam marunt. Batem ouale, adaugam smantana  si le condimentam cu sare si piper dupa gust.
Calim in o lingura de unt ceapa impreuna cu ciupercile, cat sa se inmoaie putin.

Tapetam tava pentru tarta cu unt si faina foarte bine, scoatem aluatul de la rece, il intindem in forma, intepandu-l cu furculita din loc in loc (pt a nu se umfla) si il dam la cuptor la temperatura potrivita timp de 10 min (370F).
 Scoatem aluatul din cuptor si incepem sa umplem tarta mai intai cu blue cheese din loc in loc

Peste branza, punem ciupercile cu ceapa (scurse de zeama pe care o lasa), turnam amestecul de oua cu smantana peste, presaram parmezan si patrunjel verde deasupra si dam la cuptor la foc potrivit timp de 45 de min.

Scoatem tarta si o lasam sa se raceasca. Bon appetit!

       I love the combination between mushrooms and blue cheese very much, so I thought about a tart with these ingredients since I was having guests. I searched for a simple recipe and the closest to what I wanted whas this one, but a little bit modified.

Ingredients:

 For the dough:

   

    1 egg

    125 gr butter

    250 gr flour

    salt

For the filling:

    500 gr mushrooms

    50 gr blue cheese

    1 onion

    5 eggs

    150 gr sour cream

    Parmezan

    parsley leaves

    salt, pepper

 How it's made:

    For the dough we mix together all the ingredients and we place the resulted dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

    Meanwhile we start preparing the filling: we peel the vegetables, we chop the onion and parsley  and slice the mushrooms. We then mix the eggs, we add the sour cream, mix, and spice with salt and pepper.

   In a pan, we heat up 1 tablespoon of butter and add the onion and mushrooms, just for a minute or two, so they can loose the volume.

   After we butter the tart form, we take the dough from the fridge and we roll it into the form, making some small  with a fork on the bottom and we place it in the preheated oven at 370 degrees for 10 minutes.

  After 10 min, we take the tart out of the oven and we start adding the filling, first some blue cheese on the bottom, then we add the onion with mushrooms, the eggs with sour cream, we sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top and chopped parsley and we place it in the oven for 45 minutes.

  When it's golden brown take the tart out of the oven and let it cool down. Bon appetit!
