In the kitchen, some combinations seem risky: they either end up forgotten, or you wonder how you ever lived without them.
The leek and hazelnuts tart definitely belongs to the latter category, soft and creamy inside, with a delightfully crunchy surprise on top.
And to bring out its best, there’s always a glass of Settesoli wine ready to play its part.
Clean the leeks, remove the tough outer leaves, and slice them into thin rounds.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil and gently sauté the leeks over low heat for about 10 minutes, until soft. Season with salt and pepper, then let cool.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Add the Parmesan, a pinch of nutmeg, and the cooked leeks. Mix well to combine.
Unroll the puff pastry into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Pour in the filling and smooth the surface. Sprinkle with the chopped hazelnuts.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
Let it cool slightly before slicing, then serve with a perfectly paired glass of wine.
Con la sua freschezza gentile e i profumi di frutti rossi, il Syrah Rosé accompagna il gusto morbido dei porri senza sovrastarlo. Un abbinamento armonioso, perfetto per chi ama i sapori equilibrati.
