Apple, Carob and Rhubarb Pie

I had some carob powder in my freezer that needed to be used (brought from Bosnia 2 years ago). After researching internet for a new recipe, I found some ideas on how I want it to make - pie with some fruit on bottom!

 I was delighted with results, especially after reading about nutrition and health benefits that carob offers. It's believed that has aphrodisiac effects too.

Ingredients:

-Pastry

2 cups flour

150 g butter

2 yolks

2-3 tbs icing sugar

2-3 tbs water

-Filling

250 g carob powder

180 g brown sugar 

300 ml milk

100 ml olive oil

2 egg whites, beaten

-Fruit layer (red fruit looks good inside)

2 apples, sliced

250 g rhubarb  (or other fruit)

1-2 tbs semolina

2-3 tbs icing sugar

1 tsp cinnamon 

Method:

First make filling - place milk, sugar and carob in a pan. Bring it to boil, cover and let it cool. When cool, add oil and egg whites. Mix well.

Preheat oven to 170-180*C.

Pastry - Rub butter pieces into flour (or process it), add yolks and cold water. Knead until soft dough formed. Roll out to a 40 cm circle (for a 27 cm pie ). Place it into pie dish. 

Mix fruit / rhubarb with icing sugar and semolina. Place it on bottom of pie dish (over the dough).  Spoon carob mixture over it.  Tap dish on working surface a few times, so carob mixture sits better between fruit pieces. Place pie into oven and bake for 45 minutes.

              

Pita sa Rogacem, Jabukama i Rabarbarom

Imala sam pakovanje rogacevog brasna u zamrzivacu koje je trebalo iskoristiti,  jer je preostalo od proslog odmora u Bosni prije 2 godine. Poslije malo istrazivanja na internetu, pronasla sam nacin kako sam ga zeljela utrositi - pita od rogaca sa vocem na dnu. 

Bili smo odusevljeni rezultatom, posebno kada sam procitala o  hranjivim vrijednostima i zdravstvenim beneficijama koje rogac pruza. Izvojicu to da mnogi misle da je odlican afrodizijak.

Potrebno:

-Tijesto

2 solje brasna

150 gr maslaca, komadici

2 zumanca

2-3 K secera u prahu

2-3 K vode, hladne

-Fil

250 gr rogacevog brasna

180 gr braon secera

3 dl mlijeka

1 dl maslinovog ulja

2 bjelanca, ulupana

-Vocni sloj (crveno voce izgleda dobro u piti)

2 jabuke, izrezane

250 gr rabarbare (ili drugog voca )

1-2 K krupice / griza (sitni)

2-3 K secera u prahu 

1 k cimeta

Nacin:

Najprije napravite fil- Stavite mlijeko, secer i rogac u posudu. Zagrijte do kljucanja, poklopite i ostavite hladiti. kad se ohladi umijesajte ulje i bjelanca.

Zagrijte rernu na 170-180*C.

Tijesto - Utrljajte maslac u brasno, dodajte zumanca i vodu i umijesite. Ovo mozetet uciniti sa elektricnom sjeckalicom. Ravaljajte tijesto u 40 cm krug (za 27 cm pitu). Smjestite tijesto u obruc / posudu za pite. 

Pospite griz i secer  preko voca / rabarbare, promijesajte. Smjestite voce na dno preko tijesta, zatim prebacite masu sa rogacem. Malo lupnite posudu o radnu povrsinu, kako bi sn=mjesa bolje ulegla izmedju voca. Pecite oko 45 minuta.
