"Rose" Vegetable Tart
This tart is a beautiful creation, almost to pretty to eat. It takes a bit of time to cut the vegetables and arrange in the rose pattern, but it's not complicated.
Ingredients
- 1 Easy Pie Crust see recipe below
- 2 carrots (orange)
- 2 white carrots
- 1 purple carrots
- 2 zucchinis (courgettes) green
- 2 yellow zucchini (courgette)
- 6 Artichoke hearts frozen or quality canned, or fresh
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 2 tbsp heavy cream (35%)
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Easy Pie Crust:
- 250 g (8oz) All Purpose Flour
- 125 g (4oz) butter softened
- 50 g (2oz) Sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp cold water
- a pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Cook the artichokes in boiling water with the juice of a half lemon. Drain and mix with the heavy cream to create a paste (puree). Season with salt and pepper and reserve.
- Roll the dough and fill a tart or quiche pie pan. Spread the artichoke puree in the bottom.
- Peel and wash the carrots. Wash the zucchini but don’t peel them.
- With a mandoline, slice the vegetables lengthwise, 1/4 cm, or a quarter inch thick, roll them into little rosebuds, and stick them in the puree.
- Repeat the operation with all the vegetables, and make sure to alternate the colors in the pie for a prettier “bouquet”.
- Bake in the oven at 180ºC (325ºF) for 40 minutes.
- While hot spread the olive oil with a brush, add salt and pepper and enjoy.
Easy Pie Crust Method:
- Cut the soft butter in small cubes and add it to flour. Mix well until you got something who look like sand.
- Add the egg and the water, the salt and sugar and mix gently until all ingredients make a nice ball. Don’t knead too much. Reserve in the fridge at least one hour before you use it. NOTE: the dough keeps well up to 2 months in the freezer.
