For the oat pastry:
1 cup (90g/3 oz) rolled oats
¼ cup (50g/1¾ oz) white chia seeds
½ teaspoon fine table salt
1 cup (140g/5 oz) wholemeal (whole-wheat) spelt flour
½ cup (60g/2 oz) almond meal (ground almonds)
⅓ cup (80ml/2¾ fl oz) light-flavored extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup (60ml/2 fl oz) water
For the filling:
1 cup (240g/8½ oz) fresh ricotta
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
½ cup (40g/1½ oz) finely grated Parmesan
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
400g (14 oz) heirloom tomatoes, sliced
½ cup (10g/¼ oz) small basil leaves
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • For the pastry:
  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the oats, chia seeds and salt in a food processor and process for 1 minute or until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the flour and almond meal and pulse to combine.
  • Place the oil and water in a small jug and whisk to combine. With the food processor running, gradually add the oil mixture to the oat mixture and process until well combined but still crumbly.
  • Spoon the pastry into a 24cm-based 3cm-high (9½ in x 1 in) round loose-based fluted tart tin and press firmly over the base and sides until smooth. Prick the pastry base all over with a fork and bake for 20 minutes or until light golden.
  • For the filling:
  • While the tart shell is baking, place the ricotta, lemon zest, Parmesan, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix to combine.
  • Allow the tart shell to cool completely before carefully lifting it from the tin. Place on a serving plate and fill with the ricotta mixture. Top the tart with the tomato and basil. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and slice into wedges to serve.

SUMMER TOMATO TART



Summer Tomato Tart image

I was looking for appetizers for a party and when I saw the picture, I had to try these. They are so easy and you can prepare them a few days early and throw them together at the last minute. It calls for fresh basil, but I couldn't find any at the 2 stores here in my little town, so I used dry and it worked ok. Fresh would...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

CRUST
10 (18x14-inch) sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
1/3 c butter, melted
1/2 c (2-oz) freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
TOPPING
8 oz small fresh mozzarella balls, halved*
5 plum tomatoes, sliced (1/4 inch)
1/3 c thinly sliced fresh basil, divided
2 Tbsp freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Unfold phyllo dough; cover with clean kitchen towel. Lightly brush 17x11-inch rimmed baking sheet with some of the butter. Place 1 sheet phyllo on baking sheet. Brush with butter; sprinkle with some of the Romano cheese. Repeat layers until all phyllo is used, brushing each with butter and sprinkling with cheese.
  • 2. Bake 12-14 minutes or until crust is golden brown and crispy. Cool completely. Wrap tightly until ready to use.
  • 3. Arrange mozzarella cheese evenly over crust; top with tomatoes. Sprinkle with half of the basil, 2 tablespoons Romano cheese, salt and pepper.
  • 4. Bake 5-7 minutes or until cheese is slightly melted and tomatoes are warm. Cool slightly; sprinkle with remaining basil. Cut into 40 pieces.
  • 5. TIP: *Fresh mozzarella is made in different sizes. look for balls about 3/4 inch in diameter or the size of a cherry. Cubed mozzarella also can be used.
  • 6. NOTE: Sprinkling Romano cheese between the phyllo layers of this tart adds a rich, pleasant saltiness. You can bake the crust and slice the tomatoes and cheese ahead of time, but don't assemble the tart until just before serving to prevent the crust from getting soggy.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This is the key to a great tomato tart. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a sweet, slightly tangy aroma.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: This will give your tart a more complex flavor. Try using a mix of cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and Roma tomatoes.
  • Roast the tomatoes before using them: This will intensify their flavor and make them easier to work with.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: A good olive oil will add flavor and richness to your tart.
  • Don't overcook the tart: The tomatoes should be cooked through but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
  • Let the tart cool slightly before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the tart to set.

Conclusion:

A summer tomato tart is a delicious and easy way to enjoy the flavors of summer. With a flaky crust, roasted tomatoes, and a creamy filling, this tart is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck. So next time you have a bunch of ripe tomatoes on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
