Serious Foodie Day 4

The menu last night:
- Masala-spiced lamb stew with sweet potato mash
- pizzettes
- "the world's best lemon tart"

The stew was delicious, lots of flavour with different herbs and spices and I liked how it used a lot of seasonal ingredients (parsnips and carrots in the stew and the sweet potatoes and yams in the mash).

The pizzettes were made with similar dough to that of the foccacia last week, we used a delicious tomato sauce (we were given authentic Italian tomato sauce recipes - very different from what you see here I think - can't wait to try it!!), prosciutto, grape tomatoes, white asparagus, a few pieces of blue cheese and a mozzarella/fontina blend on the top. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and shake on some salt and pepper and into the oven! They were delicious, by far the best pizza I've ever made and had.

We made pastry dough for the tarts and it turned out really well! Light and flaky! The lemon custard was a demo, but it will be easy to do. I brought mine home and shared it with Luke (he also got leftovers of the lamb stew and half of my pizzette). I can't wait to make them again! I brought the extra dough home so I'm going to rework it and maybe make a quiche!
