If you’ve got a bumper crop of zucchini, then why not turn them into a tart. Try these easy recipes for a quick meal.
1/ Crab, citrus and fresh herb tart
An indulgent mix of sweet, delicate crab (tinned or freshly picked), lemon zest, freshly chopped parsley, finely diced shallot, finely diced sweet red bell pepper, and salt and pepper, is always a classic. Top with a spoonful of caviar, or tobiko to take it over the top.
2/ Ricotta, mint and Asiago tart
A creamy, rich and satisfying blend of cheese and herbs. This is a super quick mix that can be whipped up in minutes (when unexpected guests arrive), but delivers in flavour. Fresh mint adds an herbaceous note and just enough lightness. Combine 1 cup ricotta, ¼ cup mint, ¼ cup Asiago, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
3/ Sun Dried tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil pesto
The Italian flag in a tart! Season and slice the fresh mozzarella with salt and pepper, dice a few jarred sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), and drizzle home made basil pesto for a hit of freshness. This can be made as a starter for vegetarians, or as a large tart cut into slices. It’s a time-honoured flavour combination that works.
