Vegetarian tarts and quiches are super versatile and are great to have in your repertoire
Other vegetable tart recipes
Vegetarian tarts and quiches are versatile and very useful recipes to have in your repertoire. I will be experimenting with this particular savoury tart recipe, as I do, and trying it with all kinds of different vegetables. I liked the garlic in it, but it isn't vital, so leave it out if you don't like it or haven't got any. Or you could add numerous alternative flavourings, depending on which vegetable you are using, for example- finely chopped mint with peas
- lemon zest with sweetcorn
- orange zest with carrots
- soy sauce / oyster sauce with mushrooms
- horseradish with peas or cauliflower
Alternative tart fillings
- Sliced and cooked mushrooms - cooked so most of the water is removed before cooking in the tart shell
- Sweetcorn should work well
- Finely diced carrot
- Cauliflower florets, cut small
- Broccoli florets, cut small
- Mixed frozen vegetables, defrosted
- a mixture of any of the above
