Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 6 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour plus flour for rolling
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, in pieces
2 eggs, 1 separated
1 clove garlic, peeled
2 scallions, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley
12 ounces plain goat cheese
Ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400. Place flour and salt in food processor and pulse briefly to mix. Add butter and pulse until butter is cut to pea-size. Separate one egg and mix yolk with 7 tablespoons cold water. Open food processor and drizzle over flour mixture. Pulse until dough starts to come together. Add an additional tablespoon water if needed.
  • Roll dough on floured surface to make a circle about 14 inches in diameter. Trim edges for a neat edge. Place pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  • Turn on food processor (I don't bother to wash it out) and drop garlic through feed tube to mince. Add scallions and parsley and process until finely minced. Beat together remaining egg white and whole egg; add to processor along with goat cheese. Process until smooth. Season liberally with pepper.
  • Spread filling in a 10-inch circle on pastry, leaving about a 2-inch border all around, then fold border over the edges of the filling, pleating it as you go. Scatter walnuts on top. Bake about 30 minutes, until filling is set and pastry is lightly browned. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Salad     Vegetable Salad Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup chopped walnuts
1 large beet, top and bottom trimmed and beet greens retained
1 tablespoon walnut oil, or more to taste
2 ounces soft goat cheese
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 cup reserved beet greens, cut into very thin slivers
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
  • Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven until the nuts turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 45 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully because they burn quickly. Set walnuts aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Turn oven up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Crinkle up a piece of aluminum foil and place it into an oven-safe dish (such as a pie dish) to act as a disposable rack. Place beet onto foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the beet just starts to turn tender, about 45 minutes. Wrap beet in aluminum foil and let cool to room temperature.
  • Turn oven temperature up to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  • Peel beet with a sharp paring knife; peel skin from beet. Cut beet in half and cut halves into thick half-moon-shaped slices.
  • Drizzle walnut oil in a baking dish and brush oil over the bottom of the dish; arrange beet slices in the dish in a single layer. Crumble goat cheese into the empty spaces and over beets. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Bake beet and cheese in oven until beet pieces are sizzling and the edges of the cheese are slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle warm beet and cheese with vinegar and top with roasted walnuts, beet greens, and chives. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your nibblers will taste. Look for fresh goat cheese, walnuts, and honey.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Bake the Nibblers Until They Are Golden Brown: The nibblers should be golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This will ensure that they are crispy and delicious.

Conclusion:

Goat cheese and walnut nibblers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying snack that everyone will love.
