MELTING GOAT'S CHEESE & CHUTNEY TARTS

Steps:

• Make the chutney first. Heat the oil in a large pan, then soften the onion for 5 mins. Turn up the heat, then add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until tender and sticky. Leave to cool, then season to taste. Will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• Cut the pastry into 8 triangles, lift onto a baking sheet, then spread a little of the chutney over the middle of each. Top with a couple of cheese slices and a scattering of thyme. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg, then chill until ready to bake. Can be prepared and chilled up to 1 day ahead.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Bake for 20 mins or until dark golden and crisp underneath. Whisk together 1 tbsp oil and 1 tsp vinegar with the mustard and seasoning, then dress the salad leaves. Serve the tarts with the salad and a spoonful more chutney on the side.

PEAR CHUTNEY AND GOAT CHEESE BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice bread diagonally into 32 scant 1/2-inch-thick slices; reserve ends for making bread crumbs another day. Place bread slices on 2 cookie sheets. Toast bread 10 minutes or until crusty and dry, turning slices over once. Transfer bread to wire racks to cool.
• Meanwhile, prepare pear chutney: Peel and core pears; cut into 1/2-inch pieces. In nonstick 12-inch skillet, cook pears, sugar, raisins, vinegar, ginger, five-spice powder, and salt over medium heat 25 to 30 minutes or until all of liquid evaporates and sugar caramelizes, stirring frequently during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Mixture will become very thick and turn dark brown. Cool chutney to room temperature.
• Just before serving, assemble bruschetta: Spread 1 rounded teaspoon goat cheese evenly on each toasted bread slice. Top each with 1 scant tablespoon pear chutney and a parsley leaf.

Steps:

• Cut the baguette into ½ inch - ¾ inch (1.5-2 cm) thick slices. Toast them using a toaster until they look to your liking. Don't burn them.
• Meanwhile: Prepare the cheese mixture by combining ricotta and goat cheese in a bowl (use a fork to mash it). Rinse and pat dry the pears. Cut them into quarters lengthwise. Remove the seeds and any hard parts. Slice each piece thinly and set aside (see note 4). Roughly chop the hazelnuts.
• When the toasts are ready, take one slice, spread some cheese mixture over, top with 2 pear slices, drizzle with honey and top with hazelnuts. Repeat until all the crostinis are ready.
