Yield Makes one 8-inch quiche

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Pea and Ham Quiche
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 onion, diced
1 1/4 cups fresh shelled or thawed frozen peas
6 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large whole eggs plus 1 large yolk
1 tablespoon cooked ham, cut into 1/4-inch dice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 10-inch round. Fit into an 8-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and fold over to make a double-thick edge. Roll rolling pin over the edge of the tart pan to trim the dough and pierce bottom of dough all over with a fork. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Line tart shell with parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until crust is firm around the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights. Reduce oven to 375 degrees and continue baking until crust is pale golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
  • While tart shell is baking, heat olive oil in a heavy saucepan over a medium-high heat. Cook onions, stirring frequently, until tender, about 3 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup peas and add remaining peas to pan; cook 2 minutes more. Stir in milk and heavy cream and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat. Let cool slightly before pureeing in a blender, then strain through a fine sieve; discard solids. Whisk together eggs and yolk in a large bowl, and gradually stir in pea puree.
  • Place tart shell on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with ham and reserved peas; pour in egg mixture. Bake until center is set and top is slightly puffed, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before cutting into thin wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PEA, ASPARAGUS & HAM HOCK TART



Pea, asparagus & ham hock tart image

Nothing says spring more than peas and asparagus. Showcase their grassy sweetness by combining with ham hock in a luxurious quiche, encased in golden, flaky pastry

Provided by Liberty Mendez

Categories     Dinner, Lunch

Time 1h50m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 17

200g fresh podded peas, or use frozen (defrosted)
8 asparagus spears, halved
4 eggs
200g double cream
200g crème fraîche
flat-leaf parsley or mint (or use a mixture), finely chopped
6 spring onions, finely chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
25g parmesan, finely grated
150g cooked ham hock, shredded
250g plain flour
125g cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2tsp mustard powder (optional)
30g parmesan, finely grated
25g pea shoots
50g mangetout, halved lengthways
½ tsp extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • First, make the pastry. Rub the flour, butter, mustard powder (if using), parmesan and 1 tsp fine salt together in a large bowl using your fingertips until the mixture resembles sand. Or, do this by pulsing the ingredients together in a food processor. Gradually add 4-6 tbsp cold water, pressing the mixture together until you have a soft dough. Briefly knead the dough until smooth.
  • Roll the pastry out between two sheets of baking parchment until 3mm thick and large enough to line a 20 x 7cm loose-bottomed springform cake tin. Remove the top layer of parchment and invert the pastry into the tin, or drape it over the rolling pin and unravel it into the tin. Push the pastry into the base and up the side - there should be about 1½cm excess pastry that comes above the rim. Use your thumbs and index finger to crimp the excess around the edge. Chill for at least 1 hr 30 mins or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, cook the peas and asparagus in a pan of boiling water for 3 mins, or just 2 mins for defrosted frozen peas. Immediately plunge into a bowl of ice-cold water to halt the cooking process, and leave to cool in the bowl for 2 mins. Drain and set aside until needed.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Prick the base of the chilled pastry case all over with a fork. Scrunch up a piece of baking parchment, then use it to line the case, leaving some overhanging. Fill the case all the way to the top with baking beans or uncooked dry beans or rice. Bake for 15 mins, then remove the beans and parchment and bake for 10-15 mins more until golden. Don't worry if it shrinks from the edge slightly. Leave to cool while you make the filling.
  • Whisk together the eggs, double cream and crème fraîche, then mix in the herbs, spring onions, lemon zest and juice, parmesan and cooked peas. Season with sea salt and a good crack of black pepper, then pour the filling into the baked case. Sprinkle the shredded ham hock over, pressing it into the filling slightly, then arrange the asparagus spears on top.
  • Turn the oven down to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and bake the quiche for 45-55 mins until golden on top with a slight wobble in the middle. Leave to cool for 20 mins in the tin, then serve warm or leave to cool completely and chill until needed. Will keep chilled for three days.
  • When ready to serve, toss the pea shoots and mangetout with the olive oil, then pile in the middle of the quiche. Cut into wedges to serve.

  • While the tart is cooking, beat the eggs in a large bowl. Gradually add the cream and stir in the onions. Season.
