Yield Makes 30 to 40 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (1/2-pound) wedge chilled aged Manchego cheese, rind cut off
1/4 pound chilled quince paste (membrillo), in a block (preferably rectangular)
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted and cooled
Equipment: an adjustable-blade slicer

Steps:

  • Square off curved side of cheese wedge with a knife so it fits slicer, then slice cheese into generous 1/8-inch-thick rectangles (about 8). Arrange in 1 layer on a sheet of parchment or wax paper.
  • Cut quince paste into 1/16-inch-thick rectangular slices with slicer or a knife and put on top of Manchego slices, piecing quince-paste slices together to cover cheese evenly. Make "napoleons" by stacking 2 cheese/paste layers together. Press almonds decoratively into quince paste on top.
  • Cut stacks into serving pieces (about 1 1/2- by 1/2-inch rectangles or 1-inch squares), trimming edges.

QUINCE PASTE



Quince Paste image

Categories     Quince

Yield makes sixty 1-inch (3-cm ) sq uares

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 medium quinces (1 1/2 pounds/675 g)
1/2 lemon, preferably organic
4 cups (1 liter) water
3 cups (600 g) sugar

Steps:

  • Wash and rub the quinces to remove any fuzz and leaves and cut them into quarters.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the quince pieces, lemon half, and water and cook over medium heat, covered, until the quince is tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat and discard the lemon half.
  • With a melon baller or spoon, scoop out the quince seeds and discard them. Pass the quince pieces and the cooking liquid through a food mill or press them through a coarse-mesh strainer. You should have 3 to 4 cups of purée.
  • Put the quince purée and the sugar in a large heavy-duty saucepan or wide skillet and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a thick, shiny, solid mass, 30 to 40 minutes. (Be careful as you stir because the hot mixture will sputter and pop.)
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or oil it very lightly. Spread the quince paste into a layer 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick on the prepared baking sheet and let cool slightly. Once cooled enough to touch, wet your hand and smooth the surface of paste, then let cool completely.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the paste into 1-inch (3-cm) squares. If the paste is sticky, dip the knife in hot water and wipe it dry between each cut.
  • Serving
  • Serve the quince paste by itself, or with slices of a dry, sharp cheese, such as Manchego or Cheddar.
  • Storage
  • Stored in a container in a cool, dry place, quince paste will keep for at least 3 months. Do not store it in a very tightly sealed container or it will become soggy. Some folks layer a bay leaf between squares of the quince paste, which gives it a unique flavor.
  • Variation
  • You can make APPLE PASTE by using 3 large baking apples (about 2 pounds/1 kg). Cook the quartered apples in 1 cup (250 ml) water until soft, purée them, then cook the purée down to a paste with 2 cups (400 g) sugar and 1/4 vanilla bean, split lengthwise.
