when johanna from the passionate cook gave a shout out about the "waiter, there is something in my... easter basket!" i just had to join the competition. it was simply the best excuse to make an easter tart. this one is a traditional swiss easter-tart made with rice (of course! its all about fertility.. hence the bunnies) and a wonderful hint of lemon.
we dont really do much on easter. good people go to church, bad girls stay home (me!) and eat loads and loads of chocolate bunnies. i always have the same. since i was a little girl i trust migros and their wonderful, delicious "mahony" chocolate bunny. thats 500g of the finest swiss chocolate with bits of honey and crunchy almond. if you are having a bad day you eat its ass off first. i always start with the ears (cos really: easter is usually a good day, isnt it? - sleep in... eat loads. what more can you ask for?). the easter tart is something we would have for tea. or right after those 2,3 bunnies we usually eat before the good people come back home from church.RECIPE

ReplyDeleteThanks: I needed a bit of Easter inspiration---and biting bunny ears sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteYum! But what's camolino rice?
ReplyDeletehi s! camolino rice is the sort of rice you use for rice puddings, soups & soufflés. it is also known as originaro. during cooking it absorbs a lot of liquid and becomes slightly sticky. perfect for this filling.
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of this - and a great entry to WTSIM. I'm hosting again next month so hope you can join in again
