Strawberry Rhubarb Napoleons And Lemon Cream
We used a wire mesh cooling rack to form the decorative pattern on this pastry, but any metal cooling rack can be used. Also, if you have a small rack that cannot cover all the pastry at once, you will need to bake it in batches.
Ingredients:
For filling 1 pound rhubarb, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 3 cups) 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1 pint strawberries 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (about 1/2 pound), thawed Garnish: confectioners' sugar Accompaniment: lemon cream LEMON CREAM Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. 1/2 cup well-chilled heavy cream 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar 3 tablespoons sour cream 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest Garnish:
fresh lemon zest, removed with a vegetable peeler and cut into julienne strips
Procedure:
Make filling:
In a heavy saucepan combine all filling ingredients except strawberries and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes, or until rhubarb is soft and falling apart. Transfer mixture to a bowl and cool completely. Hull strawberries and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (there will be about 2 cups). Add strawberries to rhubarb mixture, tossing to combine well. Filling may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring filling to room temperature before assembling napoleons.
Preheat oven to 375F.
On a lightly floured surface roll pastry into a 14- by 10-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut pastry into 4 strips, each 14 by 2 1/2 inches. Working with 1 pastry strip at a time, with long side facing you, make three 4-inch-long parallelograms per strip, discarding end scraps, for a total of 12 parallelograms. Invert 2 baking sheets and arrange 6 parallelograms in one layer on each. Freeze pastry 15 minutes, or until firm.
Remove 1 baking sheet from freezer and invert a metal cooling rack directly onto pastry to cover parallelograms completely. (Cooling rack will weight down pastry to form a decorative pattern.) Bake pastry with cooling rack in middle of oven until golden brown and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove rack from pastry and transfer pastry to another rack to cool completely. Bake remaining pastry in same manner. Parallelograms may be made 4 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
Assemble napoleons: Arrange 6 parallelograms, design sides up, on dessert plates and top each with about 1/2 cup filling. Put remaining 6 parallelograms, design sides up, on top of filling and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
Serve napoleons with lemon cream.
Make Lemon cream:
In a bowl with an electric mixer beat heavy cream with sugar until it holds soft peaks. Fold in sour cream and lemon zest. Lemon cream may be made 1 hour ahead and chilled, covered. Whisk cream lightly before serving.
Serve cream garnished with zest. Makes about 1 1/3 cups.
