RAINBOW VEGGIE AND PESTO TART RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Combine the basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, ½ cup (120 ml) of olive oil, ricotta, salt, and pepper in a food processor and puree until blended and smooth. Set aside.
• Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zucchini, yellow squash and carrots into ribbons.
• Cut the eggplant lengthwise into thin slices, then slice in half lengthwise.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) tart dish with butter using a piece of parchment paper.
• Lay the puff pastry in the tart dish and delicately press it flat against the bottom and up the sides. Crimp any dough hanging over the edges and prick the bottom all over with a fork.
• Lay a piece of parchment paper over the pastry and pour the rice evenly on top. The rice helps keep the bottom of the crust from rising while baking.
• Parbake the crust for about 15 minutes, until the puff pastry starts to cook.
• Carefully lift the parchment paper to remove the rice (save for using in other recipes or discard). Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
• Spread the ricotta pesto mixture evenly on the bottom of the tart.
• Starting from the outside, line the walls of the tart with the veggie ribbons, alternating veggies, until the entire shell is filled.
• Sprinkle the oregano on top and brush with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the veggies are tender.
• Let cool for a few minutes.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

RAINBOW ROSE VEGGIE TART

Steps:

• Unfold a puff pastry sheet over a tart pan. Place parchment paper or foil in the center and weight it down with beans or pie weight.
• Bake the tart base in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper. Let it cool.
• In a bowl, add the eggs, ricotta, grated parmesan cheese, grated nutmeg and pinch of salt. Add the mozzarella and oregano. Mix everything up until smooth.
• Slice strips of zucchini and carrots length-wise using a potato peeler or a mandolin. Place the slices in a bowl and cook in the microwave for 1 minute. This step will soften the slices and make them much easier to roll.
• Spread the cheese mixture on top of the tart base.
• Take one slice of a vegetable and roll it up very tightly-this will form the core of the rose. Take another slice and keep rolling. With around 2-3 slices you should obtain a decent-size rose bud. Place the bud in the center of the tart, pushing it down into the cheese. Keep rolling roses of different colors and place them one next to the other in a spiral formation.
• Brush olive oil on top of the vegetables and bake the tart at 375 degrees F for 50 minutes.

VEGETABLE ROSE HERB CHEESE TART RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Add the crackers to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely ground. Add the melted butter, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, melted butter and egg. Pulse until combined, scraping the sides to make sure everything is incorporated.
• Transfer the crust mixture to a 9-inch (22 cm) tart pan and place on a baking sheet. Use a spatula and your hands to press the crust into the bottoms and sides of the pan in an even layer.
• Bake the crust for 12-14 minutes, until the edges just begin to brown. Let cool completely.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the sour cream and beat to combine. Add the egg and beat until incorporated. Use a spatula to fold in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chives, dill, and thyme.
• Carefully pour the filling into the tart crust. Use an offset spatula to smooth the top in an even layer.
• Make the vegetable roses: Using a vegetable peeler, shave the zucchini and carrots into wide ribbons. Place in a large bowl and microwave for 1 minute to release excess water and make the ribbons more pliable.
• Rolling the vegetable ribbons tightly into roses, using 1-4 ribbons per rose for varying sizes.
• Starting in the center, nestle the vegetable roses into the filling, working to about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) from the edge of the tart. Brush the tops of the roses with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the tart to the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, until the edges of the filling are golden and the center looks set.
• Let the tart cool completely. Slice and serve, or refrigerate and bring back to room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.
• Enjoy!
