New projects for this year

We will soon start a new project. As reader you know we went through an impressive renovation since our arrival in this amazing house. My work as private medical counselor is mainly online and thus the consultation room is hardly used. After renovation of the older kitchen we got the idea of creating an apartment in that part of the house and renting it out through the platform of Airbnb. And.. this apartment is available for rent starting 2 weeks from now. If you’re curious, have a look. https://www.airbnb.com/h/sanpolino-tuscany

If docV will cook for her guests? Who knows? I’m 🤔.

After writing the house rules and doing my Tuesday morning voluntary work, I prepare the meal for tonight. Chop 2 leeks and wash thoroughly. Drain. Spread on baking paper. Add 2 table spoons of olive oil and a few stems of fresh thyme. Mix.

Bake in the oven at 200° for 15 minutes. Stir halfway. At the same time pre bake a rectangular puff pastry filled with baking paper and dry beans for 10 minutes. After 15 minutes. Stop the oven. Add 4 chopped garlic cloves to the leek. Remove the beans and baking paper from the puff pastry and leave both in the oven for another 15 minutes.

Mix 2 eggs with 125 ml of light cream, pepper, salt, 1 table spoon of dried thyme and 100 grams of roughly grated bel paese.

Spread the leek on the puff pastry. Spread some black olives ( 2 table spoons). Spread the egg/cream/cheese mixture.

Bake in the oven at 180° for 25 minutes. Cover if the surface becomes too dark. Serve.
