tart

A tart is a baked dish consisting of a filling over a pastry base with an open top not covered with pastry. The pastry is usually shortcrust pastry; the filling may be sweet or savoury, though modern tarts are usually fruit-based, sometimes with custard. Tartlet refers to a miniature tart; an example would be egg tarts. The categories of "tart", "flan", "quiche", and "pie" overlap, with no sharp distinctions.

    Recipe Treacle and Preserved Ginger Tart

    Treacle tart is a classic British tart - the filling is so sweet that the pastry really needs to be plain. Its delicious served with ice-cream or cream. Here I've added preserved ginger for an extra kick. I used a 9 and half inch shallow flan dish (slightly less than 1 inch depth)...

    Recipe Braised Shallot and Caramelised Garlic Tart

    This tart uses a whole head of garlic - but don't be alarmed. The slow caramelisation renders the garlic cloves into plump sweet bites. You really need to use a big head of garlic for this and one that has fat cloves. Serve the tart at room temperature with a crisp salad. Ingredients...

    Recipe Tarte Owt of Lente (an Elizabethan cheese tart)

    Tarte Owt Of Lente The name derives from the fact that it contains all the things you're not allowed to eat during Lent - cheese, cream and eggs, cooked in a light pastry case. If you like a strong cheese taste, then this is the dish for you. Original recipe Gentyllmanly Cokere (MS Pepys...

    Recipe Swedish Cheese and Mushroom Spelt Tart (Svamptarte)

    In Sweden there is a great tradition of foraging thanks to the (‘Allemansrätt’), or Outdoor Access Rights as it is known, which gives you the right to roam the countryside freely. You have the right to walk, cycle, ride, ski and camp on any land with the exception of private gardens, near a...

    Recipe Artichoke, Spinach and Blue Cheese Tart

    This recipe uses tinned artichoke hearts which, when cut in half, miraculously just fit into a 23cm tart tin! I wanted to create layers of contrasting flavour rather than mixing all the ingredients together. So - a layer of spinach, a layer of blue cheese, a layer of caramelised artichoke...

    Recipe Chard and Goat's Cheese Tart

    I make tarts (or quiches) quite often and I happened to have some chard stems left over from another dish. I wanted them to 'be on show' in this tart, hence the probably unorthadox two stage cooking of the custard. Well, it did stop them and the tomatoes, sinking out of sight! Photographed...

    Help needed - non-bake chocolate tart

    Does anyone have any knowledge of a recipe that I think was printed in a Sunday supplement in the last 2-3 weeks for a non-bake chocolate tart with a salted caramel (and possibly hazelnut) base? We (that will be me then) have thrown it out and I cannot find it on the net or in any cookbooks...

    Recipe Raspberry and Blackberry Tart

    @Autumn_Hearthwitch posted a thread about Strawberry pie. I am yet to attempt the Strawberry Pie which has a top and bottom crust :ohmy:, but it inspired me to make this simple fruit tart. You could make this with all sorts of fruit, including strawberries. I cheated shamelessly with the custard...

    Recipe Pumpkin and Bacon and Sage Tart

    How to use up left over pieces of pumpkin or winter squash? I often make tarts or quiches so I thought that would be a good way! Pumpkin loves bacon and sage, so I thought they would work well together in this tart. Ingredients: Shortcrust pastry (I make my own but of course you could use...

    Tomato Tart

    I tried a cherry tomato tart for the first time recently and have to admit that I am now hooked on them. It was made with yellow and orange cherry tomatoes and had parmesean and smoked cheese on it. Seemed pretty healthy too for a snack. I am now searching around for a good recipe so I can make...

    Recipe Plum tart

    Not exactly a recipe, more an experiment! A punnet of Victoria plums, bought a week ago for nibbling as and when, just weren't being eaten, and looked like going to waste, which just ain't on in this cash-strapped household! While wondering what to do next, I made some shortcrust pastry. 200gm...

    Retro Recipe Yorkshire Curd Tart

    In celebration of Yorkshire Day, this recipe is said to date back to 1750's. Its interesting because of the addition of rosewater. Curd cheese may be difficult to find. You could make your own or I think you could substitute ricotta. Ingredients: Enough short crust pastry to line an 8 inch...

    Recipe Mushroom Tart

    Another of my quick and easy dishes that are very tasty and easy to do. I got the recipe many years ago (1994?) from the long deceased BBC vegetarian magazine and it appeared in the Guardian magazine back in 2001. What I also love about this recipe is that it is so easy to make it vegan. Just...
