I have two events which seem unrelated, yet have come together in perfect serendipity.
- Event 1: the ripening of the grapes. We have veils of black monukkas on our vines.
- Event 2: a vintner’s dinner ride we’re doing this weekend.
And so I needed to try some different recipes.
I think my favorite thing about this recipe is that I could walk out my door and pick everything I needed, except the tartlet pastry. Oh god, what I’d give for a pastry tree. Heck I’d have a whole orchard.
Anyway, so I did a test run of these tartlets and I have to say I was skeptical. A savory recipe with something as sweet as black monukkas? And onions? and rosemary?
These are a total home run. I can’t describe how crisp and fresh they tasted. The flavor combination was bowl-licking worthy. I ain’t ashamed.
Anyway, enough of all that. Behold, I give you: Brie Tartlets wtih Grape Relish
