Roasted Tomato Tart With Olive Oil Crust

Roasted Tomato Tart With Olive Oil Crust


I would recommend slow roasting big cherry tomatoes or plum tomatoes utilizing my Roasted Tomato recipe unless it’s a time of year whenever you have fresh seasonal tomatoes offered. Should you were creating this tart within the fall when you have access to terrific large, ripe beefsteak tomatoes for example, I’d merely slice them thinly and arrange them on leading of the ricotta filling in an overlapping pattern. Tomatoes like that don’t need roasting!
When it came to producing the crust for my tart, I initially thought I’d go crustless with just a sprinkle of breadcrumbs underneath but I had an olive oil pastry recipe from Colavita I’ve been meaning to attempt so I decided to make use of that. I have been doing my ideal to do lots of my baking with olive oil as opposed to with butter lately with somewhat mixed outcomes. This pastry had rave reviews although so I decided to make use of it for my tart and it turned out fantastic. It is possible to use any ricotta cheese you prefer, but homemade is actually most effective. Should you be stuck employing store brand ricotta, attempt draining it in a sieve over a bowl for a half an hour or so 1st to drain off any excess water initial. I appear to have odd shaped tart pans here in Italy, so I utilised a 12 X 8 inch rectangular pan, but a 12 inch round tart pan would work just fine. This tart is most effective served at room temperature when the flavors genuinely come together, so should you should refrigerate it, let it sit out at room temperature for at the very least 30 minutes to an hour just before you cut into it.
Serves 6 to 8
Olive Oil Pastry:
2/3 Cup Olive Oil
2 1/2 Cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/2 Cup Ice Water
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
Ricotta Filling:
1 1/2 Cups Ricotta Cheese
1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Medium Eggs
Salt & Pepper
Topping:
Tomatoes of Choice – Either Oven Roasted Tomatoes or Sliced Ripe Beefsteak Tomatoes (See Note Above)
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

To prepare the olive oil pastry, 1st place the olive oil inside the freezer until it really is almost frozen. Place the flour in a bowl and add the baking powder, salt, and dried oregano. In a cup, mix together the egg, vinegar and ice cold water. Once your oil is almost solid, cut it into your flour mixture until you have pea sized crumbs. Add the vinegar/egg liquid slowly, mixing it into the flour until the mixture comes together as a dough. As with any pastry, be careful not to over handle the dough. Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out thinly to fit inside your tart pan. There is enough dough to make a double crust pie, so wrap up the leftover dough and freeze it for another use. Lay your rolled sheet of dough into your tart pan, trimming the edges. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove your tart pan from the refrigerator and prick the bottom all over with the prongs of a fork.
 
Once the oven has reached 350 degrees, bake the pastry for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Mix together the ricotta, eggs, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper and spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of your tart pan. Arrange your tomatoes on leading, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with some salt and pepper and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the ricotta filling has set, and the pastry is lightly browned. Cool to room temperature just before serving. The Paleo Recipe Book
