Twice the tributes, just as much dystopia. Happy Hunger Games! 24 years before our beloved Katniss and Peeta enter the arena, District 12 had another victor: Haymitch. We finally get the story of Haymitch’s games and it did not disappoint! Such an amazing prequel, the perfect first course to the original series.
Recipe: Mushroom goat cheese tarts! Here is what you’ll need: half a sheet of puff pastry, 3 tablespoons of butter, half a pound of mushrooms, a clove of crushed garlic, half a cup of goat cheese, and some parsley. Don’t worry too much about the type of mushroom. White, baby bella, cremini, whatever you prefer. Preheat the oven to 400º F and lightly grease a baking tray. Lay the puff pastry out and cut it into 8 squares. Poke each square a couple times with a fork and bake for 7 minutes. Take the squares out and flatten them a bit with a spatula. Put the puff pastry back in the oven for about 5 minutes. While the squares are baking, saute the mushrooms and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the squares are done, evenly divide the cooked mushrooms onto the pastry. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and parsley on top.
