BELGIAN LEEK TART & AGED GOAT CHEESE (FLAMICHE AUX POIREAUX)



Belgian Leek Tart & Aged Goat Cheese (Flamiche Aux Poireaux) image

Cooking Life columnist Molly Wizenberg makes a particularly addictive version of this traditional Belgian dish with the addition of aged goat cheese. Bon Appetit Magazine, October 2008 edition. Leeks look like oversize scallions, and they are related to both onions and garlic, but their taste is softer and more subtle than any of them. In a word, they're delicious. I love leeks but have to admit that I don't cook them as often as I should. Haven't included cooling times.

FLAMICHE AUX POIREAUX (LEEK TART)



Flamiche Aux Poireaux (Leek Tart) image

Provided by Patricia Wells

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 2h30m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 cups unbleached flour
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
12 small leeks (about 3 pounds)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
1/4 cup creme fraiche or heavy cream
4 slices unsmoked ham, such as prosciutto, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup grated Gruyere-style cheese, such as Comte

Steps:

  • In a food processor, process the flour, butter and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 10 seconds. Add three tablespoons of water and process for three seconds. Pinch the dough, and if it does not hold together, add additional water and process for several more seconds. Be careful not to overmix. The dough should not form a ball. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead, just until it forms a ball. Wrap the pastry in plastic wrap and flatten into a disk. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough to line a 10 1/2-inch tart pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the pan. Chill for another 30 minutes, or until firm.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Trim the leeks at the root. Cut off and discard the fibrous, dark green portion. Split the leeks lengthwise for easier cleaning and rinse in cold water until no grit appears. Coarsely chop the leeks.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, add the leeks, salt and pepper and cook, covered, until the leeks are very soft, about 20 minutes. They should not brown.
  • If the leeks have given up an excessive amount of liquid, drain them in a colander. Combine the eggs and creme fraiche in a medium-size bowl, mixing until thoroughly blended. Add the leeks and mix again. Reserve a quarter cup each of the cheese and the ham to sprinkle on top of the tart. Mix the rest into the leek mixture.
  • Pour the leek mixture into the prepared tart tin. Sprinkle with the ham, then the cheese. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Bake until nicely browned, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
