Easy Parsnip Cake and Scottish Pine Forest Walk

I love a slow walk in the old forest at any time of year but late winter often brings such cold temperatures. There was a touch of warmth today from the sun and it lifted my cold winter spirit and brought such hope and excitement for the warmer seasons ahead.
Walking in the forest is a chance for me to slow down to the pace of nature and enjoy the little things in life. Life goes by so quickly when your busy bringing up a large family and I need to slow down and recharge from time to time. I like to search for the beauty in all seasons and although there's nothing to forage at this time of year there's still plenty to be found if you look close enough.
After the walk I made a delicious parsnip cake with cream cheese frosting, it was moist, sweet and absolutely divine with a cup of hot chocolate. This was my antidote to the cold Winter winds and its amazing how a little bit of cake can bring such happiness. It didn't last long once the kids were home from school.

Parsnip, Kale & Blarney Cheese Tart

Hearty nutrient-rich vegetables and Irish cheese in a cream cheese-based crust make for a hearty delicious tart!

RECIPE

Makes 1 tart


INGREDIENTS

For the Tart Dough:

½ lb salted butter, room temperature
½ lb cream cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
pinch of pepper

For the Tart Filling:

4 tbsp olive oil
2 medium parsnips, peeled, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
3 medium onions, peeled & thinly sliced
3 cups kale, chopped
1 egg
½ cup buttermilk
7 oz Blarney Cheese (or your favorite cheese), shredded
salt & pepper to taste

HOW-TO

Make Tart Dough:

Put butter in bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix at medium speed for 1 minute
Add cream cheese to bowl and mix another minute
Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until dough forms
Place dough on a lightly floured surface and form until a disc. Wrap in plastic and place in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes
Place dough on a floured surface and roll out with a rolling pin, adding small amounts of flour to keep it from sticking. Place in a tart pan and press dough into the shape of the pan. Leave about an inch hanging over and cut off the rest. Fold the extra inch of dough inside the tart tin. Place in freezer for one hour
Preheat oven to 400 degress. Line dough with foil and add pie weights or dried beans to keep dough from puffing up. Place tart pan on tin foil lined baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes. Lift up foil and using a paper towel, press down anywhere that the dough has risen. Continue to bake until golden brown, about another 8-10 minutes. Let cool

Make Filling & Bake:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Toss parsnips with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Place them on a sheet pan and roast until just tender, 12-15 minutes
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until just golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add kale, salt & pepper and cook until kale is wilted, about 8-10 minutes
In a bowl, beat egg and buttermilk. Add onion mixture and cheese.
Arrange parsnip slices on bottom of a 9.5 or 10 tart pan. Add onion mixture and spread evenly
Place in oven and bake until filling is set and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Eat warm or at room temperature
