Goat Cheese Chutney Spread Recipes

MELTING GOAT'S CHEESE & CHUTNEY TARTS

Steps:

• Make the chutney first. Heat the oil in a large pan, then soften the onion for 5 mins. Turn up the heat, then add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until tender and sticky. Leave to cool, then season to taste. Will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• Cut the pastry into 8 triangles, lift onto a baking sheet, then spread a little of the chutney over the middle of each. Top with a couple of cheese slices and a scattering of thyme. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg, then chill until ready to bake. Can be prepared and chilled up to 1 day ahead.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Bake for 20 mins or until dark golden and crisp underneath. Whisk together 1 tbsp oil and 1 tsp vinegar with the mustard and seasoning, then dress the salad leaves. Serve the tarts with the salad and a spoonful more chutney on the side.

GARLICKY HERBED GOAT CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a mini food processor. Pulse until just whipped and blended (and the herbs are well-distributed in small, even pieces), scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice if needed. Transfer the goat cheese spread to a serving bowl (I like to place it off-center, as seen in the photos above), using the back of a large spoon to create a divet and swoosh.
• Just before serving, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and garnish with several dill fronds. This goat cheese spread is best served right away, but can be prepared in advance and stores well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Store in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
• If you do not have a mini food processor or don't wish to use one: before proceeding, finely chop the herbs (it is especially important for the goat cheese to be at room temperature if mixing by hand) and mix everything together with a spoon or spatula until well incorporated. *I prefer to use a mini food processor, because it is quick, fast, and incorporates a little air into the goat cheese, creating a slightly whipped, lighter texture.
