Cooking Instructions for making Taleggio, vegetable and almond tart
Turn your oven to 210 fan and allow to preheat.
Prepare the whole red pepper by lightly brushing with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap in foil and roast for 30 minutes or until collapsing.
Prepare the tomato base by adding 10ml of olive oil into a small frying pan and then adding garlic and shallot until starting to colour. Pour in the chopped tomato and season.
To avoid your sauce becoming to acidic in a seperate pan boil the balsamic vinegar and reduce by half and then add to the tomato sauce. Reduce your sauce for 15 minutes or until it becomes sticky.
In a frying pan or griddle gently fry the aubergine and courgettes until lightly browned and season.
Line a baking tray with baking paper and then prepare your puff pastry base by rolling into a rectangle and then score a border. Brush all over with milk and place on pastry lined tray and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Once golden brown fill the inside of the tart cases with a thin layer of the reduced tomato sauce and top with taleggio, aubergine, courgette and peppers. Put tart back in the oven for 3-5 minutes or until cheese starts oozing.
To finish the tart decorate with crushed toasted almonds, parsley and a drizzle of olive oil
