Vegetable tart recipe

Preparation and cooking

  • - Prepare salt rich shortcrust pastry. Link to my recipe below!
    Remember to double its doses.
    Let it rest for almost half an hour in a cool place.
  • - Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • - Butter a 10-inch round tart tin or a rectangular one.
  • - Using a long pasta rolling pin, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1-2cm (1/2-3/4in).
    Line bottom and sides of tart tin with dough.
    Prick its bottom with a fork and cover with a piece of baking parchment or foil, larger than tin.
    Fill with dried beans or rice.
    Bake, 20 to 25 minutes, or until your pastry is set and rim looks dry and just golden.
    Remove to a wire rack to cool and then remove paper and weights.
    Your pastry shell is now ready for filling.
  • - Meanwhile steam 3 medium size potatoes.
    When they are still warm, peel and purée them in a blender or food processor until smooth.
    Season puréed potatoes with dried herbs, olive oil and salt.
  • - Drain canned vegetables very well.
  • - Spread 2/3 of potato mixture on the bottom of pastry shell.
    Mix remaining part with vegetables, stirring gently.
    Arrange potato-and-vegetable mixture on your tart top and garnish with quartered or sliced hard boiled eggs.

Just before serving

What's the right wine ?

Pair Riviera del Garda Bresciano Chiaretto (wine from Lombardy - Italy) to this vegetable tart. Anyway you have to consider the other courses that complete your menu to make final choice.
