Using ready rolled pastry topped with a basil and garlic ricotta and summer favorite tomatoes
0:05
and peaches and finished off with a balsamic glaze this savory tart is truly hard to beat
0:11
To start take your puff pastry out of the fridge 10 minutes before you're ready to use it roll the
0:16
sheet out onto a baking tray and cut off the excess baking paper. Use a sharp knife to score
0:21
around a border of about half an inch. Bake for 20 minutes at 200 degrees or 180 fan or 400 fahrenheit
0:29
In the meantime, if you're making your balsamic glaze, instead of buying it, add 100ml or half a cup of balsamic vinegar to a small pan along with 1 tablespoon of honey
0:39
Bring to a boil over a medium heat, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer until reduced and just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon
0:46
Then leave to cool off. Next, prep the rest of your toppings. You can choose what balance you prefer for this tart
0:52
I prefer to go more peaches, less tomatoes, but you can do it the other way around
0:56
With that in mind thinly slice either 2 or 3 peaches as well as around 200 of tomatoes Then to prepare your ricotta mixture you will need a tablespoon of finely chopped basil leaves
1:08
Next drain your ricotta briefly so it's not watery. Add in the basil as well as two garlic
1:14
cloves, a little salt and black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use
1:20
Once the pastry's out of the oven don't do what I did. Wait five minutes for the pastry to cool
1:25
slightly then use the back of a spoon gently running it across the puff pastry to flatten
1:30
I forgot to wait and that's why mine has gone really flaky. Then spoon on your ricotta mixture
1:34
and again use the back of a spoon to spread it up to the pastry border. Next add on your tomato
1:39
and peach slices. As I like to do more peach than tomato I lay two peach slices and alternate with
1:45
a tomato slice. I like to lay them diagonally but you can lay them on vertically. Then sprinkle with
1:50
a little salt and black pepper and bake again this time for 15 minutes once it's out of the oven you
1:56
can add on some basil leaves for decoration if you like then drizzle over the balsamic glaze
2:01
enjoy immediately or you can cool chill and enjoy cold
