COURGETTE POTATO TART

Made using the delicious Potato Dough, this dish is a perfect appetiser. Its easy to make and so so delish.

TIPS:

• Use leftover herbs for a pantry clear up for the cream cheese mix!

• Use a peeler for the courgette ribbons better than a mandoline.

• Check a video of How To.

INGREDIENTS: Serves 8

• Large courgette - 1

• White sweet onion - 1

• Frying Oil ( I used olive Oil) - 150ml

• Cream cheese - 300 g

• Lemon juice + lemon zest- 1/4

• EVO oil- 1 tbsp

• Pepper- 1/4 tsp

• Herb mix of choice -1 tsp

• Salt

• Dill Oil

• Potato Dough - enough to cover a medium sized oven dish about 1 cm on the bottom and reach up to the sides.

METHOD:

1. Cook the dough accordingly to my Potato Dough Recipe.

For the Fried Onions:

1. Thinly slice the onion, transfer in a bowl and toss in flour.

2. In a small saucepan, add the cooking oil and heat up on medium high heat.

3. Test the heat of the oil by placing a piece of onion, if gentle simmering bubbles appear around it you are good to go.

4. Add the onions to the oil and keep the heat on medium, swirl the onions in the oil to ensure they are cooking evenly.

5. Once the turn golden, place onto kitchen roll on a tray and season with salt.

For the Cream cheese:

1. In a large bowl, whip the cream cheese, pepper, herb mix, pepper, pinch of salt and lemon juice.

Prepare Courgette:

1. Using a potato peeler or a mandolin (Watch those fingers!) shave ribbons vertically from the courgettes.

Put Tart Together:

1. Once the tart has cooled, add the cream cheese mix and spread towards the edges.

2. With your hands gently fold the ribbons till you create a sort of accordion shape and carefully place them up the way on the cheese. (Check video for reference).

3. Drizzle the oil, add salt and grate some lemon zest.

4. Take a slice and top with the crispy onions, enjoy!
