Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce box), thawed
All-purpose flour, for rolling
1 1/4 pounds heirloom tomatoes (5 or 6 small tomatoes of various colors)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup fresh ricotta
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, grated
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
1/4 cup torn fresh mint

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll the puff pastry to a 14-by-11-inch rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Trim any rough edges. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. With a paring knife or pizza cutter, lightly score a 1-inch border around the edges, taking care not to cut all the way through. Prick the center all over with a fork. Use the back of a paring knife to score diagonal ridges on the crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling and tomatoes.
  • Thinly slice the tomatoes (slightly less than 1/4 inch). Arrange the slices in a single layer on a double layer of paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Let drain 15 minutes.
  • For the filling, beat one of the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the ricotta, lemon zest, garlic and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Beat the remaining egg and brush over the pastry. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan inside the border. Then spread the ricotta filling inside the border. Pat the tomatoes dry and arrange in one layer over the filling and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake until the crust is puffed and deep golden brown and the ricotta is set under the tomatoes, about 25 minutes. Let cool on a rack at least 10 minutes.
  • Brush the tomatoes lightly with olive oil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the entire tart, sprinkle with the mint and cut into squares.

Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Time 4h50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups raw cashews
3 cups warm water
1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed, thinly sliced, divided (plus 1/4 cup (10 G))
1 ½ cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus 1/4 cup (60 ml)
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup cold water
3 heirloom tomatoes, varying in size and color
1 package filo dough, room temperature
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
½ teaspoon flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Combine the cashews and warm water in a medium bowl. Cover and soak for 3 hours, then drain, discarding the soaking water.
  • Make the ricotta: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the whole basil leaves, spinach, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and the kosher salt. Process for 30 seconds, until all of the leaves are broken down into a dark green paste.
  • Add the soaked cashews and cold water. Blend for 15-30 seconds, until the cashews are broken down but the mixture is not completely smooth, resembling the texture of ricotta. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Line a 13x18-inch (33x45 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the stems from the tomatoes, then slice into ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick rounds.
  • Unroll the filo dough into a flat sheet. Carefully transfer a single layer of dough to the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush all over with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush lightly with olive oil. Repeat stacking and brushing with the remaining sheets of dough. Brush the edges of the filo dough with more olive oil to make sure they become golden brown and crispy when baking.
  • Dollop the ricotta over the top layer of filo and spread in an even layer, being careful not to tear the dough.
  • Layer the tomato slices over the ricotta, covering entirely. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the tomatoes. Top with the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, on top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges of the filo dough are golden brown and the tomatoes are cooked but not mushy.
  • Garnish with the thinly sliced basil and flaky sea salt, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

HEIRLOOM TOMATO TART WITH RICOTTA AND BASIL RECIPE - (4.8/5)



Heirloom Tomato Tart with Ricotta and Basil Recipe - (4.8/5) image

Provided by margiekyle

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (14-ounce) sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
4 to 5 heirloom tomatoes, of various sizes and colors
2 cups fresh ricotta
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
Black pepper
2 tablespoons basil, julienned

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and cover baking sheet with parchment paper. On a floured surface, roll out puff pastry to 9x13-inch rectangle. Transfer puff pastry to baking sheet and prick with fork. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Let cool completely on cooling rack. Thinly slice tomatoes and lay out on paper towels to absorb some liquid. Lay paper towels on top, and gently press to absorb additional moisture. In medium bowl, stir together ricotta and olive oil until creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Spread ricotta mixture over cooled puff pastry, leaving 1/2-inch border on edges. Arrange tomatoes on top (varying color and size) and sprinkle with basil. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Cut into 6 squares.

Tips:

  • To ensure a flaky crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and butter. Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces before incorporating it into the flour.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use parchment paper to line the tart pan. This will make it easier to remove the tart from the pan after baking.
  • To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Use a variety of heirloom tomatoes for a more colorful and flavorful tart.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the vegan basil ricotta by hand. Simply mash the ingredients together until smooth.
  • To make the tart ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Wrap the tart tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This heirloom tomato tart with vegan basil ricotta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet tomatoes, creamy ricotta, and flaky crust is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new vegetarian recipe to try, give this tart a try!
