Goat Cheese Turnovers with Tomato Coulis and Basil Puree, From the Essence of Emeril, this is a showstopper! So worth the effort! The servings is an estimate , These are well worth the effort and received rave reviews from our guests I actually cut the pastry a little smaller and got 8 out of one sheet instead of 4, so they were more of an appetizer size used a vidalia onion, which carmelized quite nicely due to the extra sweetness Since I made the turnovers smaller, the onions became a bit awkward to work with when trying to seal edges I would suggest to anyone making this smaller size to ensure that the onions are cut paper thin or perhaps even chopped The fresh herbs and garlic in the cheese were just perfect in our opinion The tomato coulis was very nice and it took about 15 – 20 minutes to simmer out the released juices The basil puree was great as well, although one could substitute a pesto here to add a bit more flavour All in all, a splendid dish, great mix of flavours and beautiful presentation I’ll make this again for sure Thanks Sharon , Im not going to rate this with stars as yet, because I would like to make them again trying to experiment with different ways I can improve what I didnt like about them, and ways to prevent the mishaps I had lol 🙂 Its a great recipe, that I feel needs tweeking, but that is just my opinion I will try it again and give more input Thanks for submitting this recipe sharon, it will give me the opportunity to learn more and to experiment some more hehehehe my favorite thing! Overall, I think that the herb quantities in the cheese could be reduced a bit, and I think that the pastries need to be refrigerated at least 30 mins before baking The coulis was nice, but I think I might add another clove of garlic I will try this out again sometime soon (when I can find goat cheese a bit cheaper lol) and I will be back to review again 🙂 Thanks again Sharon!
