Fruit Salad Tart / Tarte de Salada de Fruta.


Limoncello and Linen Water by Tessa Kiros, was the very first book I bought from this amazing author and that's the book that made me fall in love with Tessa's books.
I have to say that now I have all Tessa Kiros books but, Limoncello and Linen Water will always be my favourite book.
A fantastically well designed book, full of mouthwatering recipes, images to die for and pages and pages full of recipes, tips, words of wisdom and memories.
A few weeks ago I made this fabulous tart that was a true success and put lots of smiles on everybody's faces.
The tart case is more a biscuity case rather than a pastry and it melts in your mouth. As for the filling, lots and lots of fruit which is always a crowd pleaser.
I used blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and yellow and white nectarines but you can use any fruit you want because it will always be a guaranteed success.

Cheat's pizza with mozzarella, chargrilled nectarine and prosciutto / Pizza fingida com mozzarella, nectarina grelhada e presunto.


The idea to make these "pizzas" was, not just because I had all the ingredients laying around here at home, but also because I wanted to prepare another suggestion for Marta.
As I told you here and here, Marta chose Peaches and/or Nectarines as the ingredient of JulyTherefore, here is my last suggestion. A savoury and sweet suggestion for Marta, that is very easy to prepare and makes an absolutely delicious Summer lunch.

Bacon, nectarines and rocket sandwich / Sanduiche de bacon, nectarinas e rúcula.


Once again I confirm what I always say: "Everything inside or in between slices of bread is food from the Gods" and this sandwich is proof of this theory of mine.
First, when I read the recipe, I thought that the combination could be weird, but as I'm always keen to try different combinations even if they don't sound very classic, I decided to give it a try and after the first bite, I always 100% convinced.
It's a mouthful of saltiness from the bacon, sweetness from the nectarines, freshness from the basil mayonnaise and crunchiness from the toasted bread and from the bacon itself.
Pure Heaven believe me and that's this heavenly suggestion that is the first suggestion that I leave for Marta this month.

Fig, nectarine, mozzarella and prosciutto salad with honey dressing / Salada de figos, nectarinas, mozzarella e presunto, com molho de mel.


Although the weather is not very Springy/Summery this week, I leave you with this fabulous, vibrant, refreshing and colourful salad to start the week in a good and positive mood.
The recipe is from Katie & Giancarlo Caldesi "Around the World in Salads" book.
Simplicity at its best, thats how I describe this salad.

6 ripe figs, halved or quartered, depending on the size
2 nectarines, thinly sliced
6 x 125g whole mozzarella or burrata
12 slices prosciutto
200g cherry tomatoes, halved (I used heirloom)
12 large basil leaves
for the dressing:
1 tbsp raw mild honey
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
method:
Mix all the ingredients for the dressing together in a small bowl and season to taste.
Arrange the salad ingredients on a serving platter and pour the dressing over the salad.
