Late Summer Tart


After all our efforts last spring, we haven't harvested a single tomato. That's if you don't count the funny, knobbly little green one Pearl picked yesterday with the greatest of glee. Which leaves the total number of tiny green fruit left on the few straggly, surviving plants in the patch at about four. 

But summer equals tomatoes, even if they have to come from the greengrocer. I made this delicious little tart for Kidspot recently - I hinted at it here - and promised you the recipe. The tomatoes are slow-roasted. Herby ricotta is smeared onto puff pastry, then topped with the tomatoes. It's baked till puffed and golden, then drizzled with a simple thyme oil.






You can find the recipe here.

  4. Late summer - already? Nooo, as much as I moan about the heat I am not ready for those cold winter days!

    That tart looks delicious. I've been making lots of tarts over here too. They're such a quick and easy Summer meal.

  6. I haven't eaten my breakfast yet, so these are making my stomach growl particularly loud. They look delicious. I'm creating our grocery list today and I think I will include what I need to make these. They would be an amazing lunchtime snack, and because I pack my husband's lunch each morning before class, they'd be a terrific little thing to put in his box. They're very well-contained.

    My best,

  13. Tomatoes are missing from my gardening life this year as well, but I have discovered a church Op Shop that has a vegie garden attached and have bought some of their homegrown tomatoes instead!
