Puffed Pastry Tarts: Tomato, Ricotta, and Olive
Puffed Pastry Tarts: Tomato, Ricotta, and Olive
These perfectly puffed pastry tarts are simple to make, and tastes just as good the next day as it does fresh from the oven.
Serves 6
You’ll need:
- 320g puffed pastry (shop bought saves the hassle of making your own, and many of them are vegan!)
- 150g cashew ricotta cheese
- 50g pitted black olives, sliced
- 15g oregano leaves, chopped
- 4 tbsp black olive tapenade (make your own if you like)
- 300g tomatoes, sliced
- Quinoa & Cracked Pepper Indie Bay Pretzel Bites
- Whack your oven up to 200C so it’s ready when you are.
- Roll out your pastry and cut into 6 rectangles. Using a sharp knife, score a 1cm border around the edge of each rectangle. This marks your “crust” which will puff up in the oven.
- Mix the vegan ricotta, 25g of the olives and the oregano (save some for sprinkling on afterwards if you’re feeling fancy)
- Spread the tapenade across the middle of your pastry bases, taking care to avoid that border!
- Top with ricotta mixture, sliced tomatoes and an elegant scattering of the remaining black olives.
- Bake for 25-30 mins, until the borders are puffy and golden.
- Sprinkle over crushed Indie Bay Bites for a bit of extra crunch, then get stuck in!
