Puff pastry tarts with lemon-thyme curd

Flaky, crispy puff pastry is topped with a homemade lemon curd in this classic mini-tart recipe, perfect for breakfast, brunch, tea, or dessert. The savory pastry and the brightness of the lemon cut the sweetness of the curd, while fresh thyme adds a bit of minty, peppery complexity.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

Makes 12 pastries.

Ingredients:

For the pastry:

1 batch puff pastry

For the curd:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tablespoon agar agar flakes (or 1/2 tsp agar powder)

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

Zest of two lemons (about 1/2 Tbsp)

1/2 cup (120g) non-dairy margarine

2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves, removed from stems and minced

Pinch salt

Crack of black pepper (optional)

Replace the agar with 1 Tbsp of cornstarch in a pinch.

For the 'egg' wash:

1 Tbsp non-dairy milk

1 Tbsp agave nectar

Instructions:

For the curd:

1. Juice and zest the lemons. Scrub lemons under running water for a few seconds to clean their peels (especially if they're not organic). Use a surform tool to zest the lemons, or use a vegetable peeler to remove just the top layer of the peel (trying not to take too much of the white pith) into strips, and then mince.

Press and roll the lemons firmly against a hard surface to make juicing easier, then cut them in half and juice with a reamer or citrus press. Pass the juice through a fine sieve to remove seeds and fibers.

2. Make the curd. Whisk together sugar, agar or cornstarch, lemon zest, thyme, and salt in a small pot. Add lemon juice and stir to combine. Add margarine.

3. Bring curd mixture to a low boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Lower the heat to medium low for and continue to cook, stirring often, or 10-30 minutes until thickened.

You will know it is thick enough when you can run a finger across the back of a spoon dipped in the curd, and the trail your finger made does not collapse back into the curd but remains visible. Keep in mind that it will thicken further as it cools!

4. Remove curd from the pot into a bowl and refrigerate until cold.

For the wash:

Whisk ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.

To assemble:

1. Cut your puff pastry in half and refrigerate the half you're not working with. Roll the other half out into an 8 x 12” (20 x 30cm) rectangle, then cut it into 6 4” (10cm) squares.

2. With a small, sharp knife, score the edges of each square to form a smaller square about two inches in diameter in the center of each pastry. Be careful not to cut all the way through the pastry—you just want to create a little bit of separation while leaving the square in one piece.

3. Refrigerate the dough squares you have formed and repeat with the other half of the puff pastry.

4. Brush the pastry squares with the 'egg' wash mixture and bake in a preheated oven at 400 °F (205 °C) for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.

5. Using a sharp knife, gently trace over the previously scored squares to re-separate; press each central square down, leaving the outer borders puffy and elevated.

6. Add a dollop of lemon curd to each square and garnish with thyme, mint, or candied lemon peel, or drizzle with a mixture of powdered sugar and non-dairy milk.

Note that non-vegan recipes for puff pastry tarts with fruit curd often instruct you to bake them, for some or all of the cooking time, with the curd already added—with an eggless curd, I found that this resulted in the curd bubbling up and spilling over the sides of the pastries, then burning to the bottom.

Lesser Long-nose Bat (Leptonycteris yerbabuena)

With tongues as long as their bodies, these pollinators are able to sip on the nectar of cacti and agave flowers.

These desert nectar-feeding bats are true heroes in maintaining fragile desert ecosystems in the southwestern United States and Mexico. They are the primary night pollinators of both the organ pipe and saguaro cactus. In turn, growing up to 50 feet in height, the cacti provide important nesting and perching sites for a variety of birds, such as red-tailed hawks, elf owls, Gila woodpeckers, and gilded flickers.

The National Park Service promotes bat conservation through research, educational projects, and working with multiple private, non-profit, and federal and state agency partners. 

Next time you see beautiful saguaro blooms or fruit this summer, make sure to thank a bat!

Ayoo just to preempt the inevitable dumb takes we’re about to start seeing;

I am PRO-WOOL

I am PRO-LEATHER

I am PRO-BEES

Fuck the idea of replacing durable, sustainable animal products with cheap, flimsy plastic that doesn’t bio-degrade. Agave nectar and other artificial sweeteners are expensive, labor-intensive, and destroy the environment to be farmed.

Do not buy into pernicious marketing campaigns pushed by dickhead organizations trying to stay relevant, like PETA.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: The Unexpected Importance of Bats, Past and Present

Throughout history, bats have been associated with vampires and the macabre, but did you know that bats also play a crucial role in the history of agriculture?

Many bats help to reduce crop damage by preying on pest and their droppings “Guano” are a rich source of fertilizer used through history to increase crop yields. Bats are considered to be farmers allies. Some bats also play an important role in pollinating crops. Several species of bats feed on the nectar of flowers, and as they move from one flower to another, they transfer pollen, helping to fertilize the plants. This is particularly important for plants that rely on bat pollinators, such as agave, which is used to produce tequila.

Guano is a valuable natural fertilizer that has been used by humans for centuries. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential nutrients for plant growth. In fact, bat guano was one of the earliest natural fertilizers used in agriculture, and it is still used today by organic farmers and gardeners. However, over time, the collection of bat guano for commercial use has had negative impacts on bat populations.

Guano is also important for the preservation of caves. It provides a nutrient source for the ecosystem, supporting the growth of bacteria and fungi that break down organic matter and recycle nutrients. In addition, bat guano can help to stabilize cave sediments and prevent erosion, which is important for the preservation of archaeological and paleontological sites.

Guano is a very slow to recover natural resource. Excessive harvesting for agriculture has disrupted the delicate balance of the ecosystem in many places, leading to a decline in the biodiversity that supported bat populations. In turn, the benefits from those bats have disappeared.

Bats provide a valuable ecosystem service by controlling pests and fertilizing crops, their conservation should be a priority for farmers and policymakers. By adopting bat-friendly farming practices, such as providing bat roosts and protecting bat habitats, farmers can help to ensure the continued success of agriculture, while also supporting the conservation of these important animals.

As it comes to renewable resources, it’s to be responsible with our consumption. The cascading effects of over consumption are complicated and often unexpected. Like with bats, our lives are tied to the healthy functioning of the ecosystem in ways we often don’t think of. Small acts, whether good or bad, can have profoundly larger impacts.

Hey is there a specific tequila that's really good in strawberry margaritas? or does it even matter? I've just been told to stick to the clear ones. thanks!

For strawberry margaritas I would also probably stick to a blanco/silver one but you can easily get away with doing a reposado, but you'd have to find a repo that hasn't reached the point of aging where you get into a real sickening caramel sweetness (and some reposados they add agave nectar to them to make them sweeter i.e. shit like Clase Azul, but clase azul is mega expensive sipping tequila anyways so you shouldn't have to worry about that). Probably a 3-4 month aged repo would be fine -- if you find a tequila that has an age statement like that on the bottle those are best. Lately I've been liking stuff like the 3 Amigos Organic Blanco (the organic one. Not the OG one but the organic one) and Espolòn blanco. Milagro is another great one. If you go with a reposado the Milagro reposado is a good one for Strawberry Margaritas in particular.

If I had to choose one overall it'd be La Gritona though. But because I work at a certain National Wine and Spirits Store Chain That I Shant Name At The Moment I also frequently use El Padrino blanco. For like everything mixing tequila-wise. I'm unfortunately a pretty big El Padrino shill for people who don't like a lot of agave vegetalness in their blanco tequila (even though it's supposed to have that, that's how normal tequila tastes). Legado is another one from that chain that is pretty good for mixing and does taste like a normal tequila with a nice balance of that vegetal agave and the agave sweetness notes.

So to sum up:

Stick mainly to blanco/silver tequila, but if you want, use a younger reposado.

La Gritona, 3 Amigos Organic Blanco, Espolòn, Milagro are the best one's I'd suggest for a really quality margarita.

If You Are At The Certain Store That Sells These, try El Padrino and Legado as well, El Padrino if you want something smoother.

You generally shouldn't have to spend more than $35 for a good blanco tequila imo also. Just a heads up.

Exploring Five Key Ingredients: From Natural Humectants to Flavor Enhancers

In the realm of food science and culinary arts, the quest for innovative ingredients that enhance flavor, texture, and shelf life while meeting consumer demand for natural and healthier options is a perpetual journey. Among the myriad of ingredients that grace the tables and shelves of modern kitchens, five stand out for their diverse applications and unique properties: Natural Humectant, control moisture agents, flavor enhancers, soy lecithin replacements, and resistant dextrin.

Natural Humectant:

Natural humectants are substances that attract and retain moisture, helping to maintain the moisture content of food products and prevent them from drying out. Unlike synthetic humectants such as propylene glycol and glycerin, which are derived from petrochemicals, natural humectants are derived from plant-based sources such as honey, maple syrup, and agave nectar. These natural sweeteners not only provide sweetness but also impart a subtle flavor profile and contribute to the overall texture and mouthfeel of the product. Additionally, natural humectants offer the added benefit of being perceived as healthier and more wholesome by consumers, making them a popular choice for manufacturers seeking to clean up their ingredient labels and appeal to health-conscious consumers.

Control Moisture:

Control Moisture agents play a crucial role in food processing and preservation, helping to regulate the moisture content of food products and extend their shelf life. By absorbing excess moisture or preventing moisture loss, control moisture agents help maintain the texture, appearance, and quality of food products, reducing the risk of spoilage and waste. Common control moisture agents include silica gel, calcium chloride, and modified starches, which are used in a variety of applications ranging from baked goods and snacks to meat and poultry products. As consumers increasingly demand clean label ingredients and natural alternatives, manufacturers are exploring innovative control moisture agents derived from plant-based sources such as cellulose, pectin, and xanthan gum.

Flavor Enhancer:

Flavour Enhancer are ingredients that amplify and enhance the taste and aroma of food products, making them more appealing to consumers. While traditional flavor enhancers such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) have come under scrutiny for their potential health risks, manufacturers are turning to natural alternatives to meet consumer demand for clean label products. Natural flavor enhancers such as yeast extracts, hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, and mushroom extracts are gaining popularity for their ability to deliver umami-rich flavors without the need for artificial additives. Additionally, ingredients such as sea salt, herbs, and spices are valued for their ability to add depth and complexity to dishes while enhancing overall flavor profiles.

Soy Lecithin Replacement:

Soy Lecithin Replacement, a common emulsifier derived from soybeans, is widely used in food production to improve texture, stability, and shelf life. However, concerns about soy allergies and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have prompted manufacturers to seek alternative emulsifiers that offer similar functionality without the drawbacks of soy lecithin. One promising alternative is sunflower lecithin, which is extracted from sunflower seeds and offers comparable emulsifying properties to soy lecithin. Sunflower lecithin is free from allergens and GMOs, making it a safer and more sustainable option for manufacturers looking to clean up their ingredient labels and appeal to health-conscious consumers.

Resistant Dextrin:

Resistant dextrin, also known as resistant maltodextrin or soluble corn fiber, is a type of dietary fiber that offers a wide range of health benefits, including improved digestion, blood sugar control, and weight management. Unlike traditional dextrins, which are rapidly digested and absorbed in the body, resistant dextrin passes through the digestive tract intact, serving as a prebiotic fiber that nourishes beneficial gut bacteria. Resistant dextrin is commonly used as a functional ingredient in food and beverage products such as nutritional bars, beverages, and baked goods, where it provides texture, mouthfeel, and added health benefits without compromising taste or sensory characteristics.

In conclusion, natural humectants, control moisture agents, flavor enhancers, soy lecithin replacements, and Resistant Dextrin are five key ingredients that play a vital role in food production, processing, and formulation. Whether it's enhancing flavor, improving texture, or extending shelf life, these ingredients offer a myriad of benefits that meet the evolving needs and preferences of today's consumers. As manufacturers continue to innovate and explore new sources and applications for these ingredients, the future of food promises to be both delicious and nutritious.

Making the most delicious base recipe possible is crucial, whether it takes a few years or 15. Delicious Options (Enhanced with Love) With an original cookie recipe that makes an excellent base for other flavors, a brand or person can enhance their cookie recipe. From there, they can ideate recipes for a peanut butter, lemon ginger, or chocolate coconut cookie that people will turn to over and over again. There’s something special about knowing you can eat your favorite cookie and try something new to satisfy your cravings for other flavors. Easy Sharing (What’s Not to Love?) Cookies made with love are a delightfully sharable goodie. You want to share the flavor, experience, and smiles the cookies provide. That means there needs to be inclusive ingredients to ensure even those with dietary restrictions can safely enjoy a delicious treat with friends and family. You know that when gluten free coconut cookies have amazing flavors and great texture, anyone could reach into a bag of the cookies and come away feeling loved. A cookie made with love tastes better because the baker cared about the outcome. Whoever made the cookie didn’t cut corners with the recipe and worked really hard to make a cookie that tastes good no matter when you or someone you know needs a treat.

Embracing Vegan Coffee: A Journey to Ethical and Delicious Brews

The Allure of Vegan Coffee

As the dawn breaks, the ritual of brewing the first cup of coffee sets the tone for the day. For many, this ritual is more than just a caffeine fix; it's a moment of pause, a practice in mindfulness, or a means to connect with a global tradition. However, in the heart of this ritual lies an opportunity for ethical consideration and environmental responsibility—enter the world of vegan coffee.

Why Vegan Coffee?

At its core, coffee is a plant-based delight. Yet, the journey from bean to cup often intersects with practices that conflict with vegan ethics. From the exploitation of animals in certain processing methods to the addition of dairy products, traditional coffee consumption can inadvertently support industries and practices that harm animals and the environment.

The Vegan Solution

The solution is simple yet profound: vegan coffee. This concept extends beyond just substituting dairy milk with plant-based alternatives. It encompasses a holistic approach to coffee consumption that respects animal life, champions environmental sustainability, and supports fair labor practices.

The Heart of Vegan Coffee: Milk Alternatives and Sweeteners One of the first steps in veganizing your coffee is exploring the vast world of milk alternatives. Almond, soy, oat, and pea milk are not just substitutes; they are unique ingredients that enrich coffee with diverse flavors and textures. The exploration of these alternatives is not just about avoiding dairy but about discovering new taste profiles and preferences.

Sweeteners play a pivotal role in the coffee experience for many. Traditional white sugar, often processed with bone char, is easily replaced in the vegan coffee world with plant-based options such as agave nectar, maple syrup, and stevia. These alternatives offer a spectrum of flavors, from the smoky sweetness of maple syrup to the clean sweetness of stevia, adding complexity and character to every cup.

Beyond the Cup: Supporting Ethical Brands

Choosing vegan coffee goes beyond personal health benefits or taste preferences. It's about supporting coffee brands and labels that align with vegan ethics—those marked 'Vegan,' 'Fair Trade,' and 'Organic.' These labels ensure that your coffee indulgence supports ethical sourcing, fair labor practices, and environmental sustainability. The act of choosing a brand becomes a statement of your values and a contribution to a more ethical world.

DIY Vegan Coffee Creations

For those who love a hands-on approach, creating vegan coffee at home offers endless possibilities. Whether it's mastering the perfect vegan latte or experimenting with homemade vegan creamers, the DIY route allows for full control over the ingredients, ensuring they meet your ethical and taste standards. Home brewing becomes an act of creativity, a way to personalize your coffee experience while adhering to vegan principles.

The Ripple Effect of Vegan Coffee Choices

Switching to vegan coffee options represents a small but significant step toward a more sustainable and ethical lifestyle. It's a decision that benefits not just the individual but also the wider community of animals, farmers, and ecosystems involved in coffee production. The impact of these choices extends far beyond the immediate pleasure of a coffee break, contributing to a larger movement towards sustainability and compassion.

Challenges and Triumphs on the Vegan Coffee Path

Transitioning to a fully vegan coffee routine can present challenges, from finding suitable vegan options at local cafes to navigating the nuances of coffee labeling. However, these challenges also offer opportunities for growth, learning, and community engagement. Sharing experiences, tips, and favorite recipes within the vegan coffee community fosters a sense of solidarity and collective discovery.

The journey to incorporating vegan coffee into one's lifestyle is as much about the coffee itself as it is about the values it represents. It's a journey of exploration, ethics, and enjoyment—a testament to the power of mindful choices. As we continue to explore the intersections of veganism and coffee culture, let's celebrate each cup not just as a beverage but as a choice for a kinder, more sustainable world.
