Pile on the fruit in this delicious, light
recipe: savoury tart with cheese and pears.
LONDON, Dec. 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Make your festive meals tasty
and healthy, with "I Love Fruit & Veg from Europe", the international programme that
promotes the consumption of quality European fruit and vegetables,
for a healthier and more sustainable diet. The project is supported
by the producer organizations Agritalia, A.O.A., La Deliziosa,
Meridia, and Terra Orti and
co-funded by the European Commission.
Alongside traditional dishes, we suggest appetisers, pies,
salads and desserts bursting with fruit and vegetables.
Fruit traditionally concludes a dinner, but it can be served
in a side dish: here we suggest pears, but citrus fruits also work
well in salads. Vegetables can be raw, cooked, fried or
baked: the house will be filled with the scents of fennel,
broccoli, cauliflower, endive, pumpkin and spinach.
Try this surprising recipe – a cheese and pear savoury
tart, made with shortcrust pastry and guaranteed to please your
guests.
Serves eight
Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: 35 minutes
Resting: one hour
Ingredients
For the shortcrust
pastry:
350g Italian type 1 flour (light wholewheat)
100g dry white wine
100g extra virgin olive oil
salt
1 sprig fresh rosemary
For the filling:
5 medium/small Coscia pears
200g strong blue cheese, cut into pieces
fresh rosemary
Start by preparing the shortcrust pastry. Tip the flour, white
wine, extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and chopped rosemary
needles into a bowl. Knead to form a smooth and firm dough, wrap it
in cling film and rest for an hour in the fridge. Then roll out the
pastry to a thickness of about 0.5cm and place it in a 22cm
diameter pie dish, lined with baking paper. Prick the bottom of the
pastry with a fork and scatter over the cheese. Keep a few small
pieces for later. Cut the pears into uniform slices and arrange
them on the tart. Bake at 200°C for 35 minutes. Once cooked, rest
for five minutes, then scatter over the remaining cubes of cheese
which will melt on the surface creating an even more attractive
effect. Serve while still warm, garnished with a few rosemary
needles.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
