Indulge in the deliciousness of our Summer Vegetable Tart, packed with a variety of summer vegetables such as roasted peppers, sweet tomatoes, courgette, asparagus, and fresh basil leaves, all baked to perfection in a crusty pastry case. Our homemade gluten-free pastry holds everything together, making it a treat for everyone.

The secret behind this recipe is the slow cooking of the vegetables at a low temperature, making them soft, juicy and full of flavour. You can easily slice, pack, and take it with you for a tasty lunch or picnic.

Ingredients

For 1 tart of ~24cm diameter, prep time 20 minutes, cooking time 45-60 minutes

  • 1 pepper
  • 1 courgette
  • 200g vine tomato
  • Thyme
  • 1 lemon zest
  • 1 red onion
  • 50g asparagus
  • Poppy seeds
  • Spring onion
  • 180g gluten-free pastry

Method

1 – Roll out the pastry and place it in a lined pie dish. Pierce the bottom with a fork, create a thick edge by rolling the side of the pastry inwards, and blind bake for 20 mins at 200°C – check the tips below for the perfect blind-bake technique.

2 – While cooking the pastry, bake tomatoes, peppers, thyme, and onions at 200°C for 20-30 mins. Remove pepper stalk and seeds, mix with courgette, onion, and tomato—season with salt, pepper, and olive oil.

3 – Place the vegetable mix on the previously baked gluten-free pastry case, place the asparagus on top, a drizzle of olive oil and bake it for 15 minutes. Serve this delicious Summer Vegetable Tart with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of poppy seeds.

Tips

  • For blind baking, the case, place some parchment paper on the pastry, then cover it with dry beans or rice and cook it in the oven for about 20 minutes at 200°C.
  • This tart is best sliced and served at room temperature.
