This is a good way to make use of the slow-cooked rhubarb from the Spritzer recipe. It balances the saltiness of the biscuits and the creaminess of the cheese with a lovely tart and sweet note.
Ingredients
Olive oil, chestnut and rosemary biscuits
Method
Main
1.For olive oil, chestnut and rosemary biscuits, preheat oven to 180C. Place ingredients (except rosemary) and 1 tsp sea salt flakes in an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead until a smooth dough forms (3-4 minutes). Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate to rest (20 minutes). Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 2mm thick, cut into rough 5cm-wide strips and place on oven trays lined with baking paper. Brush with oil, scatter with rosemary and season to taste, then bake, swapping trays halfway through cooking, until golden and crisp (10-20 minutes). Set aside to cool. Makes about 30 biscuits. Biscuits keep for 2 days in an airtight container.
2.Serve olive oil, chestnut and rosemary biscuits with cheese and rhubarb.
Note Chestnut flour is available from select Italian delicatessens, but be sure to check the packing date because it must be very fresh.
