Time 13h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups gingersnap crumbs
6 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra butter for pan
1/4 cup sugar
Pinch salt
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 (12-ounce) log goat cheese
12 ounces creme fraiche or sour cream
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Vanilla Pineapple Compote, recipe follows
Special equipment: 9-inch springform pan
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup rum
2 vanilla beans, split, seeds scraped and reserved
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 ripe pineapple, top, skin and core removed, cut into bite-size wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the crust:
  • Stir all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom and about halfway up the sides of the pan.
  • To make the filling:
  • Beat the cream and goat cheeses in the bowl of an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the creme fraiche and beat to combine. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each egg is added, until thoroughly combined. Beat in the sugar and vanilla until just combined.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Put on a baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking process. If the cheesecake starts to color, tent the springform pan with aluminum foil.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely before serving, as it continues to set as it cools. It is best to refrigerate overnight before serving. Cut the cake into wedges and serve with Vanilla Pineapple Compote.
  • Say cheesecake!
  • Combine the brown sugar, water, rum, and vanilla beans in a saucepan over medium heat. Squeeze the lemon juice into the pan and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, add the pineapple and stir until well mixed. Simmer until the liquid has reduced to a syrupy consistency and the pineapple is soft.
  • Let cool and serve as an accoutrement to yummy desserts like goat cheese cheesecake!

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Butter, for greasing the baking dish
6 large Swiss chard leaves (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Salt
2 cups cooked short grain brown rice
1 packed cup baby arugula leaves, chopped
1 cup goat cheese, at room temperature (8 ounces)
1 cup cooked green lentils
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
One 26-ounce jar marinara or tomato-basil sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces)
2 tablespoons olive oil, or unsalted butter diced into 1/4-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish. Set aside.
  • Remove the thick stem from the center of each chard leaf. Cut each leaf in half lengthwise. Trim the ends from the leaves to make each leaf-half about 7 inches long and 5 inches wide. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the chard leaves and cook for 10 seconds. Remove the leaves and rinse with cold water. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  • For the filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the brown rice, arugula, goat cheese, lentils, mint, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and garlic. Season with additional salt and pepper.
  • Spoon 1/3 cup of the filling onto the end of each chard leaf and roll up like a jellyroll.
  • Spoon 1 cup marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared pan. Arrange the rolls, seam-side down, in a single layer on top of the sauce. Spoon the remaining sauce on top and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Drizzle with olive oil or dot the top with butter, if using, and bake until the cheese begins to brown and the rolls are heated through, about 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup brown basmati, or other brown rice
1 bay leaf
Coarse salt
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 small onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 medium red beets (about 1 pound), without greens, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
2 ounces (about 3/4 cup) soft goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in rice, bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cover. Reduce heat to low; simmer 30 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered.
  • Meanwhile, toast pine nuts in oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until nuts are just browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer nuts with a slotted spoon to a small bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low; add onions and garlic to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Add beets and 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until beets are tender, about 25 minutes (if beets stick to skillet, add up to 1/4 cup water).
  • Remove bay leaf from rice. Stir rice, half of pine nuts, the lemon zest, and parsley into beet mixture. Transfer to a platter. Top with remaining pine nuts and the goat cheese. Garnish with parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BROWN RICE SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS, GOAT CHEESE, AND LEMON



Brown Rice Salad With Asparagus, Goat Cheese, and Lemon image

From Cook's Illustrated, July 1, 2013 My husband said after I gave him a taste (before the cheese even went in), "I could eat that for a month". The brown rice cooks much faster and stays firm when it's cooked like pasta in a large amount of water so each grain absorbs the water evenly on all sides. " Boiling the rice (versus simmering it) also speeds up cooking because boiling water contains more energy than simmering water. " Water is precious here, so I plan to try making this with leftover cooked rice in the future, just to compare. I recommend their method for the first time you try this recipe.

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb asparagus, trimmed
salt and pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons juice
1 1/2 cups brown rice, cooked according to Brown Rice for Salad
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (1 cup)
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half of asparagus with tips pointed in 1 direction and remaining asparagus with tips pointed in opposite direction. Using tongs, arrange spears in even layer (they will not quite fit into single layer); cover and cook until bright green and still crisp, 2 to 5 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to high, season with salt and pepper to taste, and continue to cook until tender and well browned on 1 side, 5 to 7 minutes, using tongs to occasionally move spears from center to edge of pan to ensure all are browned. Transfer to plate and let cool completely. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Whisk olive oil, shallot, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Transfer cooled rice to the bowl. Add asparagus, all but 2 tablespoons goat cheese, and dressing; toss to combine. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Add 1/3 cup almonds and 3 tablespoons parsley; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with remaining almonds, reserved 2 tablespoons goat cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon parsley; serve.

Tips:

  • For the perfect texture, use medium-grain brown rice. It cooks up tender and slightly chewy, holding its shape well in the cakes.
  • To save time, cook the rice ahead of time and let it cool completely before using. This will help the cakes hold together better.
  • If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute feta or cream cheese. However, goat cheese has a tangy flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the brown rice and the honey.
  • For a crispy crust, pan-fry the cakes in a little bit of oil until golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve the cakes warm with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Brown rice and goat cheese cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give these cakes a try!
