CARROT TATIN WITH GOAT CHEESE

18 ounces (500 g) carrots in a mix of colors, peeled

1 thumb-size piece fresh ginger, sliced

2 lemon slices

Sea salt

A splash of olive oil

A cube of butter

1/2 cup (75 g) grated Dutch goat cheese

1/2 (17-3-ounce/49O-g) box frozen puff pastry dough (1 sheet), thawed

 

Cook the carrots for a few minutes in boiling water with the ginger and lemon slices and a spoonful of salt until they are nearly al dente. Drain and sprinkle with oil. Butter an 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20-cm) square baking dish, line with parchment paper, and butter the paper. Place the carrots in a single layer in the dish. Sprinkle with the cheese. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured countertop until you have a sheet that fits over the carrots. Make a hole in the middle with an apple corer, to allow steam to escape. Place the dough on top of the carrots and tuck in the edges. Refrigerate until ready to bake. Preheat the oven to 4OO°F (200°C). Bake the carrot tatin for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown, let rest for 2 minutes, then invert the baking dish onto a plate and serve immediately.
