We all know how healthy quinoa is, right? Well, Kiwicha is its close relative, which should say it all. It has a mild, earthy flavor and puffs up beautifully when heated. These Kiwicha Bars not only have the super grain, but are filled with nutritious oats and a variety of seeds. The addition of dark chocolate, flaky salt, and honey keep them crave-able, while still being a quick go-to for a healthy snack. They also stay fresh at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, making them a great meal prep item. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1606973726224-9G5RAZ05MVE28IV9VXSJ/IMG_2223.jpg Home -

It’s flat-top veggie croissant breakfast sandwich. I can only imagine the crunch on that thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1598308337368-XZ1U0X7OJ3M48BPCXSPO/IMG_2904.JPG Home - Bien Cuit Bakery Review A beautiful spread. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1598308404944-YA47IVGC27U0IC5IVAPM/IMG_2909.JPG Home - Bien Cuit Bakery Review The back-up batch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1598309168088-X3L5BU9LAQKUDL24PGNY/IMG_2913.JPG Home - Bien Cuit Bakery Review I’ll never get over how gorgeous the architecture is here.

I very much mispronounced it in the video, but “roule” means “rolled”. I imagine it’s named as such because it’s rolled in cinnamon and sugar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1598309497489-YVKQ1RVKMTFKWEWRC6SY/IMG_7846.JPG Home - Bien Cuit Bakery Review Now, don’t tell me the beautiful bottom of this doesn’t look like chicharron?!

You can leave it in the box. It should be ready when you’re done prepping all the other ingredients. Then get a medium size pot of water ready to boil. With a mandolin or sharp knife slice your potatoes into 1/8’’ pieces. If you don’t already own a mandolin I suggest you consider adding it to your kitchen collection. It’s extremely useful when wanting to slice evenly and quickly. I do caution you, though, it is extremely easy to cut off the tip of your finger so do use carefully. Here’s the link to where I purchased mine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1586233682651-M4ZRKFMRCMIZUF9XJBWL/IMG_2281.jpg Home - Potato Mushroom Puff Pastry Tart https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1586233850720-NK16CQDP1CDSZJF31AMR/IMG_2288.jpg Home - Potato Mushroom Puff Pastry Tart https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1586234031407-ZCXLSNAU5I0813XT2OBM/IMG_2298.jpg Home - Potato Mushroom Puff Pastry Tart Drain the water and pat dry the potatoes with a rag or paper towels.

Toss the mushrooms a bit then don’t touch them for at least two minutes in order to give them time to brown. Toss mushrooms again and allow them to get more color on other sides, add 1 teaspoon salt and cook until they are just cooked through. Taste to see if they need more salt. Do not over cook since they will finish in the oven. Take off heat and reserve at room temperature until you assemble your tarts. Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1586234560265-QBQ43E911O82ENWZ9Q6S/IMG_2295.jpg Home - Potato Mushroom Puff Pastry Tart On a lightly floured surface, unfold your puff pasty sheets. They may still be a bit cold- that’s ok. The important thing is that you can open them without them snapping because they’re too hard. On the other hand, if they feel too soft and sticky place them back in the freezer for 5 minutes or until you can handle the dough. It should be cool, firm, and malleable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1586234650254-DQQS5RYVXOML0BMWCPAH/image-asset.jpeg Home - Potato Mushroom Puff Pastry Tart Using a ruler or by sight, score (cut but not all the way through) a 1/2 inch border around each tart. Inside the border poke holes using a fork. This will keep the center area from puffing up while your border will rise beautifully. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1586234773368-2GBRS6100NW6XRV3MUDE/IMG_2300%2B%25281%2529.jpg Home - Potato Mushroom Puff Pastry Tart Now it’s time to assemble your tart with your potatoes and mushrooms. Now, this is up to you, but for aesthetic purposes I evenly lined up the potatoes and mushrooms. On one tart at least. On the other one I scattered the mushrooms because they were broken. For the potatoes I simply overlapped them. Just be sure to lay out your toppings evenly. Coat your sage in a little olive oil and place a few where you wish. Make an egg wash by adding adding 1 tablespoon of water to 1 egg and beat together just until the water incorporates. With a pastry brush or your fingers, brush egg wash on the border. This will add a golden color to your crust. Place parchment paper onto your sheet tray(s) then the tarts on top. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20-25min or until the edges are very golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle sea salt across both tarts. Just enough to give a touch more of salt. Lastly, lightly drizzle truffle oil across the tarts. The sea salt and truffle oil are optional toppings but recommended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1586232090614-OVN1D07CADVPYOD8SMNE/IMG_2310.jpg Home - Potato Mushroom Puff Pastry Tart Voila!

Puff pastry is a laminated dough. Meaning it is layered with butter and flour and when it hits the heat steam is created and it pushes up the dough creating the signature puffed look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1586232203067-38GM0AB6IGHHJPDV3SN8/IMG_2316.jpg Home - Potato Mushroom Puff Pastry Tart Allow to cool for 10 minutes then cut into quarters and eat! These tarts are best served fresh from the oven. They can sit out at room temperature all day, but if you don’t finish them the first day wrap and keep in the refrigerator and toast them back up in the oven for the best texture. Use this recipe as inspiration to come up your own type of tart. The possibilities are endless for both savory and sweet creations. https://foodisthemood.com/blog/c6oxmu6lc3of9ohb93qgkqp8o5adkz monthly 0.5 2020-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1585673554672-NWFD7FARX2AVNQUD4I3P/Tequenos.jpg Home - Tequeños - The Snack You Didn’t Know You Needed In Your Life https://foodisthemood.com/blog/blog-post-four-mcnfp monthly 0.5 2020-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ae55f84c054209740d353/1585620648938-7C2B3L1YEM34Q49QF7BR/strike.png Home - Essential Workers Essentially Not Valued It took a global pandemic to classify food workers as essential.

My ongoing food writing and visual project. A place where I feature my food photography, research, and recipes in hopes that other food-inspired people and home cooks can get something out of it too. I am a small business owner in the cannabis industry and recipe developer with an interest in how food intersects with culture and society. Being Peruvian-American, and born and raised in Tampa, FL, means I grew up eating delicious South American and Caribbean food. Lucky is not the word. Privileged is. I currently live in NYC and marvel at its richness everyday. My formal culinary experience lies in the kitchens of Boston, MA, and Austin, TX where I worked in both pastry and as a savory line cook. The real-life experience in those restaurants became my culinary school. And for this, I must give a special shoutout to the places that most taught and inspired me: Milk Street Cafe, Tatte Bakery & Cafe, and Asti Trattoria. Before burning and cutting myself in unfamiliar cities as an unseasoned cook I worked as an organizer on various campaigns, local social justice efforts, and as a union rep after completing my BA in International Relations at the University of South Florida. Hope you enjoy my site. https://foodisthemood.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-08-13 https://foodisthemood.com/store-2 daily 0.75 2021-03-06 https://foodisthemood.com/store-2/p/harvest-moon-cup-z6pfl monthly 0.5 2020-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847051566-7J1F5JK17HV9L5ET6J8C/download+%281%29+copy.jpeg Store 2 - Harvest Moon Cup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1600709886471-5B65M5UAWKBAJV2H63K2/product-detail-4x5_6.jpg Store 2 - Harvest Moon Cup https://foodisthemood.com/store-2/p/earth-sky-planter-96xax monthly 0.5 2020-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847050613-XRHRJZP8TVBL6N57P6I2/download.jpeg Store 2 - Earth &amp; Sky Planter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1600709713213-0A9EOEM7KVP0PARGMKOB/product-detail-4x5_5.jpg Store 2 - Earth &amp; Sky Planter https://foodisthemood.com/store-2/p/golden-mist-cup-klxj2 monthly 0.5 2020-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847052193-0459NVK9KEHCDH8J351A/download+copy.jpeg Store 2 - Golden Mist Cup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1600709566842-V0D57N61ZW83B4J87Y15/product-detail-4x5_4.jpg Store 2 - Golden Mist Cup https://foodisthemood.com/store-2/p/spring-bowl-tz4fa monthly 0.5 2020-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847052564-1TMWPJP4X5JXE1M0CNLO/spring-blade-thumbnail-01-2500x1666.jpg Store 2 - Spring Bowl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1600709250624-C68T9SQ6K7NYICK8P3FP/product-detail-4x5_3.jpg Store 2 - Spring Bowl https://foodisthemood.com/store-2/p/milk-dip-cup-8xh77 monthly 0.5 2020-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847053052-BIBF28M6OATQ2N4J5Y3O/download.jpeg Store 2 - Milk Dip Cup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1600709119857-4XUS64LJJ5NSIA4T45VZ/product-detail-4x5_2.jpg Store 2 - Milk Dip Cup https://foodisthemood.com/store-2/p/country-feast-set-y4l4d monthly 0.5 2020-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847053445-TCOA9E8ZBHMLYPM8VJHM/download+%281%29.jpeg Store 2 - Country Feast Set https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1600708893896-325AKTDK2UTS2Y4VSD0K/product-detail-4x5_1.jpg Store 2 - Country Feast Set
