ANY VEGETABLE TART

Any Vegetable Tart image

Perfect for casual entertaining, this rustic tart can be tailored to whatever vegetables you have on hand. The key here is to use either precooked vegetables, or quick-cooking raw vegetables that won't release too much liquid as they bake, making the pastry soggy. (See Tips below, for more.) So the crust tastes like a buttery cheese straw, an optional layer of grated Gruyère or Cheddar is scattered onto the bottom of the baking pan before the dough is placed on top. The whole tart bakes up golden brown, savory and wonderfully crunchy. Serve this on the same day it's baked for maximum flakiness.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 cup shredded Gruyère or Cheddar (optional)
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest or finely chopped rosemary
1 garlic clove, finely grated or crushed to a paste (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 cup crème fraîche or mascarpone
All-purpose flour, for dusting the work surface
1 (14-ounce) package puff pastry, preferably made with butter, thawed if frozen, but still cold
2 to 3 cups sliced vegetables (see Tip)
4 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced (reserve the dark green parts, for garnish, if you like)
4 thyme or rosemary sprigs
Extra-virgin olive oil
Microgreens, torn soft herbs or baby lettuces, for serving
Lemon or lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

Put a rack in the center of the oven and heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. If you like, you can sprinkle Gruyère or Cheddar onto the center of the liner or paper in an approximate 10-by-13-inch rectangle.
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, Parmesan, lemon zest or rosemary, garlic (if using), and pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Beat in the crème fraîche until smooth.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to form a 10-by-13-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to prepared baking sheet. (Place directly on top of the grated cheese, if applicable.) With a sharp knife, lightly score a 3/4-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry, making sure not to cut the pastry all the way through. Using a fork, prick the pastry all over inside the border at 1-inch intervals.
Spread crème fraîche mixture evenly inside the scored border. Arrange vegetables in an even layer, using just enough to cover the surface in one layer. Scatter scallions and thyme or rosemary sprigs on top. Lightly drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden, and the vegetables are cooked through, about 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve topped with microgreens, herbs or baby lettuces, and accompanied by lemon or lime wedges, for squeezing.

A crispy pie that you can adapt for your needs, add chicken or keep it veggie. A good fail-safe for your repertoire

Provided by Good Food team

Categories Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Snack, Supper

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

200g bag spinach leaves
175g jar sundried tomato in oil
100g feta cheese, crumbled
2 eggs
125g filo pastry

Steps:

Put the spinach into a large pan. Pour over a couple tbsp water, then cook until just wilted. Tip into a sieve, leave to cool a little, then squeeze out any excess water and roughly chop. Roughly chop the tomatoes and put into a bowl along with the spinach, feta and eggs. Mix well.
Carefully unroll the filo pastry. Cover with some damp sheets of kitchen paper to stop it drying out. Take a sheet of pastry and brush liberally with some of the sundried tomato oil. Drape oil-side down in a 22cm loosebottomed cake tin so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush oil on another piece of pastry and place in the tin, just a little further round. Keep placing the pastry pieces in the tin until you have roughly three layers, then spoon over the filling. Pull the sides into the middle, scrunch up and make sure the filling is covered. Brush with a little more oil.
Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cook the pie for 30 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden brown. Remove from the cake tin, slice into wedges and serve with salad.

Tips:

For a crispier crust, pre-bake the tart shells before filling them.
Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to your tartlets. Some good options include zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach.
Be sure to season your vegetables well. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good starting point.
Don't overcrowd the tart shells. You want to leave enough space for the vegetables to cook evenly.
Bake the tartlets until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
Serve the tartlets warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side dish.
