Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For pastry:
Sweet pastry dough
1 tablespoon anise seeds
Pumpkin filling:
1 1/2 cups pure pumpkin (from a 15-ounce can; not pie filling)
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
Equipment: an 11-by 1 1/4-inch fluted round tart pan (1 1/4 inch deep) with a removable bottom; pie weights or dried beans
Accompaniment: lightly sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Make tart shell:
  • Prepare dough, adding anise seeds to dry ingredients, and chill as directed in dough recipe. Roll out dough into a 14-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, then fit into tart pan and trim excess dough. Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
  • Lightly prick bottom of shell with a fork, then line with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake shell until side is set and edge is pale golden, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove foil and weights and bake shell until golden all over, about 15 minutes more. Cool completely in pan. Leave oven on.
  • Fill and bake tart:
  • Whisk together pumpkin, sugar spices, and salt in large bowl. Whisk in eggs, then cream.
  • Pour filling into cooled tart shell and bake until puffed about 1 1/2 inches from edge and center is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. (Cover edge of tart with foil if browning too quickly.) Cool in pan, about 2 hours. (Tart will continue to set as it cools.)

SAVORY PUMPKIN TART



Savory Pumpkin Tart image

This rustic dish is inspired by a recipe served in France, in the Loire Valley, during harvest time. At lunch, this delightful tart shared the table with green lentils and pork sausages. Feel free to make the tart the focus of a meal, perhaps with a side of bright greens.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds pumpkin (sugar or cheese, for example) or butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
Pinch kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
3 garlic cloves, peeled
Freshly ground black pepper
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • The night before serving, toss squash with salt in a bowl. Place a heavy weight on top, cover with plastic, and refrigerate overnight.
  • To make pastry, combine flour and salt in a large bowl. With pastry cutter or fork, cut in butter until it forms coarse crumbs. Add 1 to 11/3 cups very cold water, a few tablespoons at a time, until mixture just comes together. Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic, and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease large baking sheet. Drain squash. In saucepan over medium heat, melt remaining butter. Sauté onion, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • On floured surface, roll out dough into a 17- by 12-inch rectangle. With long side facing you, spread squash evenly over right half of dough. Top with onion, parsley and garlic cloves; season with salt and generous grind of pepper.
  • Dab edges of dough with water. Fold left half over filling and pinch edges firmly to seal. Brush crust with egg yolk. Using knife, cut slit in center of crust, pulling back edges slightly to form a 2 1/2-inch hole.
  • Transfer crust to baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking until squash is fork tender and crust is well browned, 35 to 40 minutes longer. Slowly pour cream into crust vent. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PUMPKIN CHEESE TARTS WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST



Pumpkin Cheese Tarts with Gingersnap Crust image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups finely chopped gingersnaps (about 60)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 pound cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of allspice
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup pureed pumpkin
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • To make the crust: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs with the melted butter and toss together until the mixture clumps together. Add an additional tablespoon of butter if necessary. Pat the mixture into the base and slightly up the sides of eight 4 1/2inch tartlet pans. Bake for about 7 minutes, or until crisp.
  • To make the filling: Press the grated ginger against the mesh of a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard to extract all the juice. Set the ginger juice aside and discard the pulp. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves, and salt. Beat until creamy and well combined, then add the ginger juice and the pumpkin puree and beat again. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after you add the first one, but do not over-beat the mixture. Pour the filling into the tart pans and return them to the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is just firm to the touch. Cool to room temperature, then chill for up to 2 hours or overnight before serving.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH TART WITH PUMPKIN SEED CRUST



Butternut Squash Tart With Pumpkin Seed Crust image

Another wonderful recipe from To Many Cooks by Nancy Wood Moorman (cookbookmarketplace.com). There's a cheese lattice topping instead of a crust topping so there's more protein and more flavor. Use a good quality cheese, like an aged Gouda.

PUMPKIN TARTS



Pumpkin Tarts image

you can use canned pumpkin if you like the traditional thick texture and sweetness of store-bought pumpkin pie. I like using fresh cooked pumpkin as it's not overly sweet and much lighter and fluffier that way, almost like a mousse. you can freeze cooked pumpkin for many months so you can still make this outside of autumn, just be sure to drain it well when you thaw it. can also be made into a single-crust pie, just increase the cooking time to about an hour. new way to play with this: make just the filling in custard cups or muffin tins and serve with ice cream and butterscotch!

PUMPKIN-SEED PIECRUST



Pumpkin-Seed Piecrust image

Decorating this crust with pastry leaves is as easy as, well, pie, but it's also beautiful with a simple crimped edge. You can make two undecorated bruleed pumpkin pies that way, if you double the filling.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 3h45m

Yield Makes enough for one 9-inch pie plus decorative pastry leaves

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds), toasted
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
6 tablespoons ice water, plus more if needed
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Place pepitas in a food processor; pulse until chopped. Add flour, salt, and sugar; pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some blueberrysize clumps. Add ice water and pulse until incorporated, about 10 times more. Squeeze a small amount of dough to make sure it holds together. If dough is too dry, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap, forming each into 1 disk. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 days. Dough can be frozen up to 1 month.
  • Roll out 1 disk of dough to just under 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Trim excess, leaving a 1-inch overhang; fold edges under and set aside. Roll out remaining disk of dough to just under 1/4 inch thick, cut out small leaf shapes, and mark veins with a knife, if desired. Brush edges of piecrust with egg wash and apply leaves. Freeze at least 1 hour or up to 1 week.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush pastry leaves with more egg wash. Line piecrust with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edges are lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights and bake until entire crust is golden, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 hour.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

¾ cup pecan halves
¾ cup rolled oats
¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
¼ cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons real maple syrup
1 cup soy milk

  • Combine oats, flour, remaining pecans, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a food processor bowl. Pulse until mixture becomes a coarse meal. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

Pour filling into baked crust, and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the outside inch of the filling is set. Don't worry if the center is still soft; it firms up as the pie cools.
