Description

Imagine a savory tart, its golden crust hinting at the treasures within. This tart is a celebration of textures and tastes, a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. The foundation is a delicately crisp crust, made from finely ground almonds, providing a nutty counterpoint to the rich filling.

Nestled within this almond embrace is a vibrant medley of roasted vegetables. Picture tender bell peppers, their sweetness intensified by the heat of the oven. Envision earthy mushrooms, their savory notes deepened with a hint of caramelization.

Imagine the subtle sweetness of roasted onions, their layers melting into the creamy custard that binds the tart together. The custard itself is a velvety dream, a decadent blend of cheese and rich cream. Its luxurious texture coats the roasted vegetables, creating a harmonious marriage of flavors.

The creaminess is balanced by a subtle tang, a whisper of sharpness that awakens the taste buds. This tart is not just about richness; it's about complexity and balance. Finally, the tart is crowned with crumbled goat cheese, its tangy, almost citrusy flavor providing the perfect finishing touch.

The goat cheese melts slightly during baking, creating pockets of creamy delight that contrast beautifully with the roasted vegetables and the almond crust. This savory tart is a versatile dish, equally at home on a casual brunch table or a sophisticated dinner party. Serve it warm, and pair it with a side of steamed asparagus or a crisp green salad.

Its flavors are enhanced by a glass of chilled white wine, its acidity cutting through the richness of the tart. This tart is not just food; it's an experience, a culinary journey that will leave you wanting more. Its robust flavors and satisfying textures make it a memorable dish for any occasion.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 395 degrees Fahrenheit.
    2.
    Add the whole peppers to a shallow oven tray and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise and after 10 minutes, add to the oven tray along with the whole peppers to bake for a further 25 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and the peppers are charred and collapse in on themselves. Set aside to cool completely.
    3.
    Whilst the vegetables are roasting, add the ground almonds, flax, oregano, butter, salt and pepper to a food processor. Blend to form a chunky crumb.
    4.
    Add one egg to the food processor and blend again to form a dough.
    5.
    Remove the dough from the food processor and press into a loose bottom tart tin – about 18 cm. Prick the base of the dough all over and refrigerate until the vegetables are cooked.
    6.
    Once the vegetables are cooked, remove the pastry from the fridge, loosely cover with foil and transfer to the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
    7.
    Whilst the pastry is baking, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Mince the garlic and finely dice the onion. Sauté until tender.
    8.
    Peel the outer skin away from the peppers and remove the seeds. Roughly chop into 1 inch strips and transfer to a mixing bowl. Roughly dice the zucchini into half inch slices and add to the bowl with the peppers, onion and garlic. Stir well to combine.
    9.
    Remove the cooked pastry from the oven and leave to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 360 degrees Fahrenheit.
    10.
    Whilst the pastry cools, whisk together the remaining eggs, cream and parmesan. Season and beat well to combine.
    11.
    Arrange the vegetable mixture in the pastry and transfer to an oven tray.
    12.
    Pour the custard filling over the top.
    13.
    Slice the goats cheese into 8 discs and arrange over the top.
    14.
    Return to the oven to bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until thoroughly cooked through and golden brown. Leave to cool in the tin before serving.
