Green Onion, Thyme and Sage Rolls image

"Thyme, sage and onion is a classic British flavor combination. Don't make these rolls too far in advance-- they're better fresh!" says Lorraine.

Time 2h

Yield 10 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons white bread flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat bread flour
1 1/4 ounce packet active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups warm water (from the tap)
6 green onions, finely sliced
Leaves from 5 sprigs fresh thyme, finely chopped
Cooking spray
1 large egg, lightly beaten
30 small fresh sage leaves

Steps:

  • Put the flours, yeast and salt in a large bowl (or stand mixer bowl). Make a well in the center and pour in the water. Mix everything together well (by hand with a wooden spoon or, if by machine, with a dough hook on medium speed) to make a smooth, soft dough ball, 2 to 4 minutes. If doing by machine, continue to knead on medium-high speed for 5 minutes. Otherwise, put the dough on a clean work surface sprinkled with a little flour and knead for about 10 minutes.
  • To test to see if the dough has been kneaded enough, form into a ball with a nice taut top. Put some flour on your finger and then prod the dough to make a small indent. If the dent springs back all the way, this means the dough is kneaded enough. If not, then knead a little bit more.
  • Put the dough on the work surface (sprinkled with a little flour if you haven't already done so) and then flatten it out with a rolling pin to about an 8-inch round, 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Put the green onions and thyme in a pile in the center and then bring the sides of the dough up over the filling to enclose. Flip it over so the seam side is down and roll it out to the same size again. Once again, gather the edges up and over, but then knead the dough by hand to incorporate the filling ingredients evenly throughout. You may need to dust with a little more flour as you go if the green onions make things a little damp.
  • Divide the dough into 10 equal-size pieces and knead each one into a ball with a nice taut top. Put the rolls, seam-side down and spaced apart, on a large nonstick baking sheet. Spray the rolls with a light spritz of cooking spray and then cover with plastic wrap so that it is airtight, but not too tight as the bread needs to grow.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and leave the bread on a chair about 3 feet away from the oven for 45 minutes, or until the bread has almost doubled in size. To test that the rolls are ready, remove the plastic wrap, put some flour on your finger and prod the side of the dough to make a small dent. The dent should spring back about halfway. When it does, it is ready. If necessary, leave it to rise a bit longer.
  • Once ready, brush the dough balls with the beaten egg and lay 3 sage leaves in whatever decorative fashion you like on top of each one. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped underneath. Once ready, remove from the oven and serve warm.

ONION AND SAGE TARTS

Provided by Jerry Traunfeld

Categories     Onion     Bake     Cocktail Party     Thanksgiving     Bacon     Sage

Yield Makes 32 hors-d'oeuvre-size slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds yellow onions (3 large or 4 medium), sliced
2 ounces bacon (2 slices), finely diced
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
4 7-inch Flaky Pastry Tart Shells

Steps:

  • 1. Caramelizing the onions. Peel the onions and cut them in half from root to tip. Cut out the dense core at the root end and slice the onions 1/4 inch thick, again from root end to tip. Cook the bacon, stirring often, in a large (4-quart) saucepan over medium heat until almost crisp. Add the onions, sugar, and salt, and cook, stirring often until they cook down by two-thirds, about 10 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons vinegar, reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue to cook until the onions are an even golden brown and softened to a marmalade consistency, 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the onions. Stir often and scrape up any brown bits clinging to the bottom of the pan. The onions need almost constant stirring near the end to prevent them from sticking and burning. They'll let you know they need attention by giving off a sizzling sound. Stir in the sage, allow them to cool slightly, then taste and season with black pepper and additional salt if needed. If the onions seem overly sweet, stir in another teaspoon of vinegar. (The onions can be caramelized up to 2 days ahead and store covered in the refrigerator.)
  • 2. Filling and baking. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Stir the cream and egg into the caramelized onions until thoroughly combined. Divide the filling among the tart shells and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon. Bake in the upper third of the oven until the filling is set, about 15 minutes. The filling should still be soft but not runny. Let cool slightly, then transfer the tarts to a cutting board using a large spatula. Cut each into 8 wedges with the downward pressure of a sharp chef's knife. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Variations
  • For large tarts, prebake 2 10-inch Free-Form Tart Shells. Divide the onion mixture between them and bake the tarts until the filling is set in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Using a large spatula, transfer them to a cutting board and cut each into 12 wedges.
  • Herb Substitutions
  • In place of sage, use an equal amount of finely chopped rosemary, marjoram, savory, English thyme, or lemon thyme.

CARAMELIZED ONION & GOAT CHEESE TART WITH FRIED SAGE RECIPE



Caramelized Onion & Goat Cheese Tart with Fried Sage Recipe image

Provided by á-2421

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 Tbsp unsalted butter
5 large yellow onions, sliced, about 1/8 inch thick
Salt
Pepper
1/3 cup white wine
16-18 oz box frozen puff pastry
1 egg
6 Tbsp goat cheese
5 Tbsp olive oil
20 fresh sage leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400. In a large pot, heat butter on medium high. Add about half the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add remaining onions and season generously with salt and pepper. Stirring occasionally to break up the rings and prevent burning, cook for about 10 minutes, until there is some browning at the bottom of the pan. Add wine, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat to medium low and remove puff pastry from the freezer to thaw. Cook the onions for about 30 minutes more, stirring every few minutes, until they are fully caramelized. Look for a rich brown colour and an almost sticky consistency. On a lightly floured surface, roll each sheet of dough into a 10 " by 10 " square. Lightly score them with a fork several times, leaving about a 1 inch border around the edges. Whisk the egg with a tsp of water to create an egg wash and brush it around the 1 inch border. Transfer the dough to parchment paper lined baking sheets. Divide the onions between the two sheets of dough, spreading them out evenly but leave the 1 inch borders. Dot each tart with 9 tsp of goat cheese. Bake until the dough is puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan until smoking. Working in batches of a few leaves at a time, fry the sage for about 15 seconds until the leaves start to brown. Use tongs to transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain the excess oil. Top the finished tarts with fried sage leaves. Makes 2 tarts, about 8 appetizer portions or 4 entree portions.

Tips:

  • Use the right onions: Sweet or mild onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla are best for these tarts, as they caramelize nicely and have a delicate flavor.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and caramelize quickly.
  • Cook the onions slowly: Low and slow is the key to getting perfectly caramelized onions. Cook them over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes, or until they are soft, golden brown, and slightly sweet.
  • Use fresh sage: Fresh sage has a much more intense flavor than dried sage, so it's worth using it if you can find it. If you only have dried sage, use about 1/3 of the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Don't overfill the tart shells: The filling should come about 2/3 of the way up the sides of the tart shells. If you overfill them, the filling will spill over and make a mess.
  • Bake the tarts until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown: This usually takes about 30-35 minutes. If you're not sure if the tarts are done, insert a toothpick into the center of the filling. If it comes out clean, the tarts are done.

Conclusion:

Onion and sage tarts are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They're perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and they're also great for potlucks and picnics. With their flaky crust, savory filling, and fresh herbs, these tarts are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
