Number Of Ingredients 16

For the oat pastry:
1 cup (90g/3 oz) rolled oats
¼ cup (50g/1¾ oz) white chia seeds
½ teaspoon fine table salt
1 cup (140g/5 oz) wholemeal (whole-wheat) spelt flour
½ cup (60g/2 oz) almond meal (ground almonds)
⅓ cup (80ml/2¾ fl oz) light-flavored extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup (60ml/2 fl oz) water
For the filling:
1 cup (240g/8½ oz) fresh ricotta
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
½ cup (40g/1½ oz) finely grated Parmesan
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
400g (14 oz) heirloom tomatoes, sliced
½ cup (10g/¼ oz) small basil leaves
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • For the pastry:
  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the oats, chia seeds and salt in a food processor and process for 1 minute or until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the flour and almond meal and pulse to combine.
  • Place the oil and water in a small jug and whisk to combine. With the food processor running, gradually add the oil mixture to the oat mixture and process until well combined but still crumbly.
  • Spoon the pastry into a 24cm-based 3cm-high (9½ in x 1 in) round loose-based fluted tart tin and press firmly over the base and sides until smooth. Prick the pastry base all over with a fork and bake for 20 minutes or until light golden.
  • For the filling:
  • While the tart shell is baking, place the ricotta, lemon zest, Parmesan, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix to combine.
  • Allow the tart shell to cool completely before carefully lifting it from the tin. Place on a serving plate and fill with the ricotta mixture. Top the tart with the tomato and basil. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and slice into wedges to serve.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I loved this tart. The oat pastry was so flaky and the ricotta was perfectly creamy.

I love that this recipe uses oat flour instead of all-purpose flour. It gives the tart a lovely nutty flavor and makes it a bit healthier too.

This tart was a hit at our summer party! The combination of sweet tomatoes, creamy ricotta, and nutty oat pastry was divine. I'll definitely be making this again.
