Summer Tartines
With so much extra time on my hands, I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes and getting creative styling. Although, I seem to always come back to the simple things. I’ve finally nailed down my sourdough recipe and it has now become a weekly ritual to bake. One of these simple recipes I’ve been enjoying lately is a broccoli rabe and ricotta tartine on a garlicky sourdough.
Caramelized Onion & Blue Cheese Flatbread
This was a summer dinner party favorite growing up. My mother would throw this flatbread together like it was second nature to her. She would serve it up to a hungry group of guests after a day spent by the water. It also delicious for that transitional time; it’s like the end of summer with its’ malty, sweet and savory flavors.
Citrus Fennel Salad
This salad is bright and light, perfect for a breezy summer picnic. The brilliant citrus hues are the epitome of summer and a visually gorgeous addition to your picnic spread. The salad works well with any citrus fruits you have on hand. The bitterness of the fennel beautifully balances the sweetness of the fruit for pure sunshine on a plate!
