Lemon-Apricot Sandwiches

 

INDREDIENTS

Makes 20

· 1/2 cup almond flour
· 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
· 1/4 cup cornstarch
· 1/2 teaspoon salt
· 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
· 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
· 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
· Finely grated zest of 2 lemons, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
· 1/2 cup apricot jam

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk flours, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl.

2. Put butter, sugars, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing well after each addition. Cover dough with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.

3. Place cold dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper, and roll out to 1/8 inch thick. Transfer dough on parchment to a baking sheet; freeze 10 minutes.

4. Using a fluted 1 7/8-inch round cutter, cut out dough; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Reroll scraps, and cut out [you should have 40 rounds]. Bake until pale golden, 10 to 11 minutes. Let cool slightly on sheets on wire racks. Transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.

5. Using a rubber spatula, press the jam through a fine sieve into a small bowl. Stir in remaining tablespoon lemon juice. Spread 1 teaspoon jam mixture on flat side of half of the cookies, and sandwich with the remaining cookies. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.

Helpful hint:
You can substitute other varieties of jam for the apricot. Unfilled cookies can be stored in an airtight container up to three days; enjoy filled ones the day you assemble them.

Chili Reinas
Traditional California Favorite

Roast large bell peppers until the skin turns black. Wash in cold water and rub off the blackened skin. Cut around the stem and remove the seed and coarse veins. Take some dry Monterey cheese, grated fine, and with this fill the peppers, closing the end with a wooden toothpick.

Prepare a batter made as follows: Beat the yolks and whites of six eggs separately, then mix, and stir in a little flour to make a thin batter. Have a pan of boiling lard ready and after dipping the stuffed pepper into the batter dip it into the lard. Remove quickly and dip again in the batter and then again in the lard where it is to remain until fried a light, golden brown, keeping the peppers entirely covered with the boiling lard.

Take the seeds of the peppers, one small white onion and two tomatoes, and grind all together into a pulp, add a little salt and let cook ten minutes. When the chilies are fried turn the remainder of the batter into the tomatoes and boil twenty minutes, then turn this sauce over the peppers.
This is a most delicious dish and can be varied by using finely ground meat to stuff the peppers instead of the cheese.
