Creamy ricotta tart with sweet red and yellow bell peppers.
Ingredients:
  • 225g (1 1/2 cups) plain flour
  • 100g butter, chopped
  • 2-60.00 gm iced water
  • 2 large red capsicums
  • 2 large yellow capsicums
  • 2 red onions, cut into wedges
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 400g fresh ricotta
  • 2 eggs
  • 8 pitted black olives
  • Balsamic glaze, to serve
Instructions:
  • Combine the flour and butter in a food processor until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add water and process until the dough just comes together. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Roll out to 5mm thickness. Line a 10 x 34cm fluted tart tin with the pastry, trimming any excess. Chill on a baking tray in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C and line the pastry case with non-stick baking paper. Fill it with pastry weights or rice, then bake for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and weights, then bake for another 10 minutes until crispy and golden.
  • In a roasting pan, toss together the capsicums, onion, and oil until coated. Roast for 30 minutes or until slightly charred. Transfer the capsicums to a sealable plastic bag and set aside to cool. Peel, halve, deseed, and cut into 1cm-wide strips.
  • In a clean food processor, combine ricotta, eggs, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Pour into the pastry case and smooth the surface with a spoon. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set.
  • Arrange the capsicum, onion, and olives on top of the tart, then finish with a drizzle of the glaze before serving.
