Looking for a Mediterranean Tart recipe

Hello,

We’re good thanks and hope you are too.

There are no tarts with Mediterranean in the title. A couple that are made with red peppers and a couple with tomatoes but nothing using a combination of the typical Mediterranean vegetables.

I often made large flat galette type tarts for buffets and Al Fresco parties, (similar to Delia’s Galettes), using large flat bases of puff pastry cooked between baking sheets then topped with char-grilled aubergine and courgette slices, roasted peppers and tomatoes. The cooked veg arranged (but unarranged if you know what I mean!) on the top of the cooked pastry base, like a generously topped pizza then brushed with olive oil flavoured with garlic, basil and thyme. Finally, a generous amount of mozzarella or feta (about 6mm but 6cm slices) evenly spread out across the top (so you can still see the veg between) before baking until the cheese is melted. 

They can be served at any temperature from hot to ambient. I sometimes add more fresh basil or rocket leaves or other Mediterranean ingredients like of Parma ham or charred baby artichokes. 

Another thing I sometimes do is cut the cooked pastry and reform it before topping so it’s a bit tidier when serving.

Hope that helps in some way.

Happy Easter

Lindsey
