How did I live before the cook/lifestyle book French Feasts? I made this for friends last night, ooh was it tasty!
Tarte Provencale (Provencal Vegetable Tart) from French Feasts
For 6 - Preparation time: 20 minutes, Cooking time: 40 minutes
9 ounces puff pastry (ready-made or homemade)
6 cherry tomatoes
6 sundried tomatoes in oil (*when I made I forgot these)
1 zucchini
1 small eggplant
1 onion
1 bunch basil
10 black olives
olive oil
sea salt, pepper
Peel and slice the onion, and cut the zucchini and eggplant into small cubes. Saute all the vegetables in the olive oil, keeping them al dente.
Pick off the basil leaves and dress them in olive oil, pit the olives.
Roll out the pastry, and prick with a fork, then arrange the vegetables, basil, and olives on top.* If using ready-made, dough usually takes an hour to thaw. After 40 minutes my friend Elizabeth suggests to start working it with your hands to speed up the thawing process. This worked well for me.
Season.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 30 minutes.
