Leek, Cavolo Nero & Sweet Potato Tart
Depending on the pastry ingredients, this stunning tart from British Leeks can be completely vegan. Full of fresh veg goodness!
Preparation time: 30min
Cooking time: 25min
Servings: 6-8
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
- Chop the sweet potato into roughly 4cm cubes. Drizzle in olive oil, then roast at 180°C for 20min.
- While the sweet potato is baking, finely chop the leek (as you would an onion) and gently fry in a drizzle of olive oil.
- Once the leeks have softened, add 3 minced cloves of garlic and fry for a further 1min.
- Add the sage, cumin, coriander, fennel, salt and pepper to the pan.
- Chop the Cavolo Nero then add to the pan and gently heat for a further 5min.
- If using ready rolled pastry, add to a large tart dish with a removable base. Prod the base with a fork 3-4 times to prevent the dreaded soggy bottom.
- Place a sheet of baking parchment with baking beads (or dry rice will do) on top of the tart then pop the tart in the oven for a blind bake for 15min.
- Take out of the oven, remove the baking beads and parchment and add the leek, sweet potato and Cavolo Nero into the tart case. Bake for a further 5min.
- Take out of the oven and garnish with fresh pea shoots. We also topped the tart with harissa and toasted seeds, however this is completely optional.
