Vegetable Tart

Before going in the oven

After being cooked

With added greenery

 I decided to make a dinner Quentin would like i.e. made out of pastry. I also still have lots of things to use up before we move so this will help. I had one sheet of pre-rolled puff pastry so I defrosted that and then basically got out all the veges we had left to put on it. I also bought some pesto for the base because it is Quentin's favourite.

Once the pastry was defrosted I put it on a baking sheet and scored the bottom in a rectangle leaving an edge so the edge would puff up and not the middle, this way the toppings don't all get pushed around by air bubbles. Then I spread on some pesto (cheap as here btw, about 1.50 for a jar) then put on red onion, about 5 cloves of garlic sliced, red and green capsicum, pumpkin seeds, cherry tomatoes, blue cheese and cheddar. I think that was all anyway!

When Quentin got home I just had to put it in the oven for about 20-30 minutes and while that was cooking I sliced up some avocado and mixed that with some spinach, watercress and rocket with some balsamic dressing. Once the tart was out of the oven I put the greens on top and then it was ready to eat. I think this could serve 6 people, maybe with extra salad or something on the side but it turned out that I ate 1/6 and Quentin ate 5/6!! At least I know he likes my cooking!

Anyway this is a super easy thing to make and would be good if you have a few people coming round or something because you can make it earlier and then just put it in the oven when you need it. You could put anything on it as well, I would have liked to add sundried tomato and olives but Quentin doesn't like those. Maybe one day. Anyway the verdict was yum :)
