Ingredients
1 x 375g pack Asda Ready Rolled Shortcrust Pastry
250ml Asda 50% Less Fat Crème Fraîche
1 large egg (beaten)
1 lemon zest
1tbsp chopped basil
1tbsp chopped parsley
1tbsp thyme leaves
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 courgettes
3 carrots
70g Grower’s Selection Strong Wild Rocket
1tbsp Asda Glaze with Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5.
2
Line a 20cm fluted tart case with the pastry, trimming the edge neatly. Chill in the fridge, then line with baking paper and fill with ceramic baking beans or dry rice. Bake for 10 mins until the sides are crisp.
3
Remove the baking beans and paper, then return to the oven for 10 mins until light golden.
4
Mix together the crème fraîche, egg, lemon zest, basil, parsley and thyme leaves and garlic. Spread over the base of the pastry.
5
Run a veg peeler down the courgettes and carrots, lengthways, to create wide ribbons.
6
Roll into flowers and arrange on the crème fraîche mix – pack in quite tightly so they don’t unfurl.
7
Bake in the oven for 15 mins or until the veg flowers are golden and softened.
8
Serve with rocket drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
