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!

Ingredients

1 Easy Pie Crust see recipe below
2 Orange Carrots
2 White Carrots
1 Purple Carrot
2 Green Zucchini
2 Yellow Zucchini
6 Artichoke hearts frozen or quality canned, or fresh
1/2 Lemon juiced
2 tbsp Heavy Cream
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.
