A Vegetable Tart Almost to Beautiful to Eat

Rose Vegetable Tart

This “rose” vegetable tart takes a little bit of time to put together. The mandolin-cut vegetables are arranged in the “rose” pattern. The recipe for easy pie crust is below, you can skip this step and buy prepared ready-to-bake pie dough in the store. However, we don’t think the quality is quite the same as Chef Eric’s. Just say’n…

Enjoy!

  • 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.
