RUSTIC TOMATO-BASIL TART

RUSTIC TOMATO-BASIL TART image

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds medium yellow tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 1/2 pounds medium red tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 1/2 t. salt, divided
1 c. fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears)
1 T. fresh lemon juice
3 T. fat-free sour cream
1 1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. yellow cornmeal
1/4 c. chilled butter, cut into small pieces
1 T. yellow cornmeal
1/2 c. thinly sliced fresh basil, divided
1/3 c.(1 1/2 oz.) shredded fontina cheese
1 T. chopped fresh oregano
2 T. flour
1/4 t. cracked black pepper

Steps:

1. Arrange tomato slices in a single layer on several layers of paper towels, sprinkle with 1/2 t. salt. 2. Preheat oven to 400. 3. Place corn, juice, and sour cream in a food processor or blender; process until smooth. Combine 1 1/2 c. flour, 1/4 c. cornmeal, and 1/2 t. salt in large bowl, stir with a whisk. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add corn mixture, stir until soft dough forms. Knead gently 3 or 4 times. 4. Slightly overlap 2 (16-inch) sheets of plastic wrap on a slightly damp surface. Place dough on plastic wrap; press into a 6-inch circle. Cover with 2 additional (16-inch) sheets of overlapping plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered into a 14-inch circle; place on a large baking sheet in freezer 10 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily removed. Sprinkle pizza stone or pizza pan with 1 T. cornmeal. Remove 2 sheets of plastic wrap from dough. Place dough, plastic wrap up, on baking sheet. Remove top sheets of plastic wrap. 5. Combine 1/4 c. basil, cheese, and oregano. Combine 2 T. flour and 1/2 t. salt. Arrange cheese mixture on dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Sift 1 T. flour mixture over cheese mixture. Arrange half of tomatoes over cheese mixture. Sift remaining flour mixture over tomatoes, top with remaining tomatoes. Fold edges of dough toward center; press to seal (dough will only partially cover tomatoes). Bake at 400 for 35 minutes or until crust is brown; let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 c. basil and pepper.

Tips:

Use a food processor to quickly and easily combine the tart dough ingredients. This will help to ensure that the dough is evenly mixed and free of lumps.
If you don't have a food processor, you can also mix the dough by hand. Just be sure to use a fork or pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
When rolling out the dough, be sure to dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. You can also use a piece of parchment paper to help you roll out the dough.
If the dough is too sticky, you can chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to make the dough more manageable.
When baking the tart, be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature. This will help to ensure that the tart cooks evenly.
Keep an eye on the tart while it is baking. The crust should be golden brown and the filling should be bubbling.
Allow the tart to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

This rustic tomato basil tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of fresh tomatoes, basil, and cheese is simply irresistible. With its flaky crust and flavorful filling, this tart is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
