Spanakopita rolled with chard and feta – Gordon Ramsay’s version

A rolled spanakopitawith a crunchy phyllo pastry shell and a tasty filling of feta cheese and chard sautéed with spices and aromatic herbs.

A pan-baked and rolled variant of the Greek spanakopita, the famous savory pie often also cooked in a rectangular shape or in small single-portioned triangles.

Spanakopita takes its name from the Greek words “spanaki” (spinach) and “pita” (pie). With a base of phyllo dough and a filling of spinach, aromatic herbs and cheese, Spanakopita represents a timeless example of Greek cuisine and Mediterranean, which has spanned the centuries.

As with Turkish borek, spanakopita can also have different fillings. This time, while maintaining the traditional cheese feta*, with its strong and pungent character, I wanted to replace the classic spinach with chard.

If, however, you are interested in the single-portion version of this recipe, to transform this single vegetarian dish into a tasty appetizer, take a look at my phyllo dough triangles with ricotta and spinach.

Gluten Free Rolled Tart, Ricotta and Jam – Gordon Ramsay’s version

Gluten-free tart, rolled with ricotta cheese And marmalade, a delicious breakfast or a spectacular but lightning-fast dessert! With the planetary or by hand, this is a gluten-free shortcrust pastry that is very easy and affordable for everyone.

Family💚 how many ways can you make a tart? This is certainly delicious, quick and easy if you have a well-balanced shortcrust pastry … I'll take care of that!

This process allows you to have a shortcrust pastry, in a few minutes, if you have one planetary (this is the closest model to mine!) even without getting your hands dirty. Otherwise with cold butter and a fork, the result is guaranteed!

If you don't have a planetary mixer, see how shortcrust pastry is made by hand, in this recipe!

You can make this pastry without yeast, it is great: the cake grows the same because of the eggs and the pastry remains beautiful crumbly.

You can choose the filling you prefer for this wonderful tart, with the addition of jam in the ricotta, you can also avoid sweetening.

1 – Form a rectangle with the dough approximately 5 mm thick

2 – Spread the filling (creamy, but not too moist)

3 – For a 20 cm pan, you need to get 7 wheels

If you have a different diameter:

Measure the length of the roll, divide by seven and cut the right size

(e.g. my 35/7 = 5 approximately)

If the diameter of the pan increases, the wheels increase!

baking tray 22 cm => 8 wheels

baking tray 24 cm => 9 wheels

baking tray 26 cm => 10 wheels

Clearly the more you increase the amount of wheels and the diameter of the pan, the lower the tart will be!

For the 20 cm pan, I recommend that you place the tart in the first level starting from the bottom and always check the cooking with the toothpick in the center of the cake.

You can place the wider trays in the intermediate level of the oven, let them cook at 180 degrees static for at least 30 minutes and then always check with a toothpick

Sourdough Chinese Crullers and Jian Bing Guo Zi – Pancake Rolled With Yau Char Kwai by Gordon Ramsay

Jiānbĭngguŏzi (煎饼果子)is a typical Tianjin breakfast. Jiānbĭng, or “pancake” is prepared with egg and cooked on a skillet, then topped with a guŏzi (果子)(commonly called in Northern China) or Yau Char Kwai(used in Southern China) or fried dough stick, drizzled with scallions, sesame seeds and sauces and rolled up, like a wrap.

Sourdough Chinese Crullers – Yau Char Kwai

Sponge	Dough
	All the starter above 320 g All-purpose flour 180 ml Water 1+1/2 tsp Salt 1/3 tsp Baking ammonia (Ammonium Bicarbonate) 1/4 tsp Potassium carbonate (Potash) 2/3 tsp Baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) 1 tsp Baking powder (a mixture of Tartaric Aid and Sodium Bicarbonate)

Combine first the starter, water in a bowl, and then stir in flour until a dough forms. Cover with a plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature for 12-18 hours. Whisk together ammonia, potassium carbonate, baking soda and baking powder in a bowl. Pour in water and blend all together.
In a larger container, add in the sponge and flour. Pour in the mixture and stir them into a ball. Cover and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Set the dough on a greased work surface. Lightly press the dough into a flat rectangle and fold into three. Give it a quarter-turn to the right, cover and allow it to rest for another 15 minutes. Repeat folding and relaxing two more times. Now place the dough on a lightly oiled baking peel, press out the dough into a rectangle, about 5mm thick. Cover closely and chill overnight.
Next morning, remove the dough from the fridge and divide the dough into 3×1-inch long strips. At the same time heat up a heavy skillet half-filled with frying oil until 180C/350F. Lightly press together two strips, which are overlappingly to each other, holding two ends closely and low them into the hot oil. Fry and turn the dough sticks until golden brown. Drain and cool slightly. These fried dough sticks are very often consumed with congee or soya drink
soya drink. Besides eating fried dough sticks with congee and soya drink, you can prepare a Jian Bing Guo Zi (Fried Dough Stick Wrap), a traditional breakfast in Tianjin and Beijing.
