Nigel Slater Gooseberry Pie

12 Antworten

May2014Potluck
It’s Potluck Week again at I Heart Cooking Clubs, the choice of the theme and recipe is all mine, at least it’s from any featured chef.

In my childhood our garden had a gooseberry bush, until one of the autumm storms blowed it over. It was not necessary to have an own bush for years. But last year we bought one, because my sources dried out and they are so expensive to buy.

I think gooseberries are a bit underused in foodblogs and it is gooseberry saison. I decided to serve

Gooseberry Pie

this week. Nigel recommends double cream, but I think clotted cream is better.

  • 50 grams icing sugar
  • 1 generous pinch of salt
  • 1 egg yolk, about 17 grams

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips, then mix in the icing sugar, a generous pinch of salt and egg yolk. Bring the dough together and squeeze into a round, then put it in the fridge for half an hour to chill. If you want to do it in a food processor, first blitz the flour and butter, than mix briefly with sugar, salt and egg yolk.
  2. Top and tail the gooseberries, then put them into a non-reactive saucepan with the sugar and water and simmer until the fruit has softened slightly — it will go paler in color too. But stop before the gooseberries collapse. Lift the fruit into a bowl with a draining spoon, then turn up the heat and boil the liquid down to a thick syrup, stopping before it caramelizes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Roll out half the pastry and use to line an 20 cm tart tin, pushing it up the sides. I use a crinkle-edged tart ring with a removable bottom or an old-fashioned metal tart pan. Chill thoroughly, or freeze for fifteen minutes, then bake for fifteen minutes, baking blind, if you wish, until the pastry is dry and pale-biscuit colored.
  4. Transfer the drained berries to the pie shell, pour over the thickened syrup, and leave to cool a little.
  5. Roll or press out the remaining pastry into a round. Lift it on the rolling pin and place it gently on top of the pie, pressing the edges down to meet the bottom crust. Cut two air holes in the top crust.
  6. Bake for twenty minutes until the pie is pale gold. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with caster sugar, and return for a further five or six minutes. Leave the pie to cool a little before serving with a jug of double or clotted cream.

INSTRUCTIONS

  2. Using a draining spoon, pile them on to evenly onto 4 slices of bread. Scatter over the grated cheese. Place another slice of bread on top and press down lightly.
  3. Wipe the pan out lightly with kitchen roll, because you need a thin film of oil to fry the sandwiches. Place the sandwiches in the pan, letting it cooc for a few minutes till the bread is golden and the cheese is starting to melt. Turn the sandwiches and cook the other sides. Perfection is when the bread ist lightly crisp, the mushrooms soft and the cheese oozing.
