Prep Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings: 8
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Mediterranean

Ingredients
  

Pie Crust
  • 300 g Flour
  • 100 ml Water very cold
  • 70 ml Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
For the Filling
  • 2 Zucchini small
  • 3 Carrots medium
  • 2 Eggplants small
  • 1 Bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp Dry herb mix rosemary, thime, oregano
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients for the dough: flour, salt, olive oil and cold water. Mix thoroughly and knead until a smooth and elastic dough is formed. Cover dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 360°F (180°C).
  3. Line a 9″ tart pan with parchment paper. Flour work surface and roll the dough until just a bit bigger than the tart tin. Place the dough into the tin and trim any excess overhang. Refrigerate for another 15 minutes. Using a fork, poke wholes into the base, cover with parchment paper, add weights (beans or rice) and bake for 15 minutes at 360°F, until slightly golden.
  4. While the dough is baking, trim the edges of the zucchini, eggplant, carrots and core the bell pepper. Slice the vegetables into long, thin slices, using a mandolin or a vegetable peeler.
  5. Let's start making the vegetable spiral.
  6. Roll a strip of carrot into a spiral, followed by a strip of zucchini and a strip of eggplant. Repeat the process, alternating all the vegetables until the tart is full.
  7. Brush the top of the vegetable tart with 3 tbsp of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and dried herb mix.
  8. Bake at 360°F (180°C) for 45 minutes, until vegetables are tender and cooked through. Cool in tart pan for 10 minutes before serving.
  9. Enjoy!
