Ingredients:
1 pound fresh rhubarb, trimmed of tough ends
Farm & Larder galette dough, chilled
Farm & Larder vanilla-almond filling
¼ cup Farm & Larder strawberry preserves

Warm Beet Salad with Winter Greens
Topped with fresh Chevre and our crunchy hazelnuts, this flavorful salad is a true winter pick-me-up.
Ingredients:
Roasted golden beets, sliced and still warm from the oven (see recipe)
1 head escarole, washed, dried and coarsely chopped
1 head frisée, washed, dried and coarsely chopped
Farm & Larder hazelnut-thyme vinaigrette
½ cup crumbled fresh Chevre
½ cup Farm & Larder toasted hazelnut topping
Fresh-cracked pepper
Method:
1. In a small bowl, add frisée and escarole and drizzle with about ½ cup Farm & Larder hazelnut-thyme vinaigrette, and toss to combine. Allow to stand at room temperature for about 1-2 minutes, allowing greens to soak up some of the vinaigrette.
2. Arrange greens on serving platter, then top with warm beet slices. Generously sprinkle with fresh Chevre and hazelnut topping, then drizzle with the remaining hazelnut-thyme dressing. Season with fresh-cracked black pepper to taste.
Variation: These beets are also wonderful served over thinly-sliced fennel in lieu of the greens. Just let fennel soak up vinaigrette for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.

Savory Mini Galette Tarts
Wow guests with these rustic tarts. (We’ve done all the prep work already!)
Ingredients:
Farm & Larder galette dough, chilled
Farm & Larder spinach-mushroom filling
1 large egg, whisked
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 375° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unwrap chilled dough and place on a well-floured surface. Let sit until the edges become soft enough to roll.
2. Roll dough to about â…›-inch thickness, adding flour as necessary to prevent sticking. Using a round cutter (the mouth of a large wine glass works too) cut out circles of dough and place on the parchment lined pan. Collect dough scraps and reroll until dough is gone.
3. Place about 1 tablespoon of prepared filling into the center of each dough round. (The amount of filling will vary depending on the size of the dough circles. You need about ¾-inch of dough left around the edges for folding.)
4. Fold one small section of dough up onto filling. Rotate and fold another section to create a pleat. Continue until it is pleated all the way around. Press firmly to seal pleats together.
5. Brush the whisked egg on the galette crusts, then place in the oven. Bake until the crusts are golden brown. Remove and cool slightly before serving. You can also bake the tarts ahead of time and reheat just prior to serving.
