Best Asparagus And Potato Tart Jamie Oliver Recipes

ASPARAGUS QUICHE & SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
• Tip the flours into a bowl with a good pinch of sea salt, then chop and rub in the butter. Make a well in the middle, crack in one of the eggs, add 2 tablespoons of cold water, then mix, pat and bring together.
• Place between two large sheets of greaseproof paper, flatten to 1.5cm thick and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Roll out the pastry between the sheets of greaseproof, then line a 25cm loose-bottomed tart tin with the pastry, easing and pushing it carefully into the sides and letting the pastry scruffily hang right over the sides (this will stop it shrinking). Prick the base all over with a fork and bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden, then trim off the excess pastry (sometimes I don't bother as people seem to love the crispy bits).
• Halve the asparagus spears, saving the tips for the quiche. Chop and place the rest in a large pan over a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil.
• Peel, roughly chop and add the potatoes and onions and strip in half the thyme leaves, and cook for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden, stirring regularly.
• Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Whiz with a stick blender until smooth, pass through a sieve, then season to taste with salt and black pepper.
• While the soup is on the go, beat the remaining eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper and the ricotta, then grate in the Cheddar and pick in the remaining thyme leaves.
• Chop and add the reserved asparagus tips, then stir into the egg mixture and tip into the tart case.
• Bake for 40 minutes, or until beautifully golden. I like to serve the quiche and soup together - it's a wonderful meal.

POTATO ASPARAGUS TART RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Thinly slice potatoes.
• Soak potatoes in just enough cold water to cover the potatoes for 10 minutes. Then pat dry.
• Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
• In a medium bowl, mix together heavy cream, salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper and melted butter.
• Add potato slices and evenly coat every piece in the cream mixture.
• Line baking tray with parchment paper and place one sheet of puff pastry. With a fork, evenly poke the entire sheet.
• Place shredded or grated parmesan cheese on the puff pastry. Then layer each potato slice to cover the sheet, leaving ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) on all sides.
• With 2 spoons, scoop small amounts of goat cheese on top of the potatoes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
• With a peeler hold the bottom of the asparagus and carefully peel from bottom to the tip. Peel twice on one side, then flip over to peel the other side. It will give you a even ribbon.
• Put all the asparagus ribbons into a bowl and mix in salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon juice. Toss the ribbons until evenly coated.
• Place the asparagus ribbons on top of the freshly baked potato tart, then slice.
• Enjoy!

FREE-FORM ASPARAGUS & POTATO TART

Steps:

• The morning before you make the pie, put the butter in the freezer - first wrap it in foil, which will help to keep it cold when you grate it later.
• To make the pastry, put the flour in a big bowl and mix in a good pinch of salt and the cheese. Using a coarse cheese grater, grate in the butter - try to hold it as little as possible so it doesn't warm up too much - and stir it in with a knife as you go. When all the butter is in, give it a final stir to make sure all the strands of butter are coated with flour, then quickly stir in 125ml of very cold water. Splash in a little more if it looks dry, then lightly bring the pastry together with your hands. Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, bring a big pan of water to the boil, then tip in the potatoes. Boil until just tender, then drain well, slice and allow to cool.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 with a baking tray inside. On a large sheet of baking parchment dusted with a little flour, roll out the pastry into a rough circle about 30cm wide, until the thickness of 2 x £1 coins. Brush the mustard over the pastry. Arrange the potatoes, asparagus and most of the gruyère in layers in the centre of the base, leaving a border of pastry that's roughly 5cm all the way around. Season and fold up the pastry edges to enclose the vegetables and cheese, pinching the edges to seal. Whisk together the soured cream and the egg with a little seasoning, then pour into the centre of the tart. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and slide the tart onto the preheated baking tray. Bake for 30 mins until the pastry is golden and crisp. Eat just warm or at room temperature.

ASPARAGUS AND POTATO TART - JAMIE OLIVER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Also, set a large pot of salted water to boil.
• Trim asparagus spears to fit into a rectangular tart pan (with removable bottom). Toss trimmed asparagus into boiling salted water for about 2 minutes to blanch.
• Boil potatoes for 12 minutes in salted water. Drain.
• While potatoes are boiling, layer phyllo into tart pan, leaving about 1" of dough overhanging the edge of the pan. Butter each sheet as it goes into the pan.
• Mash potatoes with Cheddar and Lancashire cheeses. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add nutmeg and cream. Add eggs and mix well. Pour into tart pan. Lay asparagus spears on top, alternating directions of tips. Brush top lightly with any remaining melted butter. Crimp overhanging phyllo up along edge of tart pan. Put pan on the lowest shelf of the oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove pan from oven and allow it to set for at least 15 minutes.
• Serve with a light salad of fresh spring greens.

CRISPY AND DELICIOUS ASPARAGUS AND POTATO TART

Steps:

• Put your potatoes into a pan of salted boiling water and cook for 15 minutes. Meanwhile blanch your asparagus in a separate pan of salted boiling water for 4 minutes, and drain in a colander.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Get an ovenproof dish - I've used many different shapes and sizes. Layer the sheets of filo pastry in the dish, brushing them with melted butter as you go and letting about 1-inch hang over the edge. You want to get the pastry about 5 layers thick. Put a clean, damp kitchen towel over the top and put aside.
• When the potatoes are done, mash them with the cheeses. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs and cream and stir into your cheesy mashed potato. Grate in the nutmeg, season well with pepper and mix together. Spread the mashed potato over the filo pastry, then bring up the sides of the filo and scrunch them together to form a rim. Take your blanched asparagus and line them up across the filling, making sure you cover it all. Brush all over with the remaining melted butter and pop into the preheated oven for around 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Serve just as you would a quiche for a quick lunch or supper, with a salad.

ASPARAGUS & CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Put the flour in a bowl, add the butter to the flour and rub in with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the grated cheddar into the pastry and mix. Add 3 tbsp cold water and mix until the pastry forms a ball. Wrap in cling film and chill for 5 mins. Butter a 20 x 6cm deep loose-bottom tart tin, or a 35 x 12cm rectangular tart tin.
• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Lightly dust the work surface with flour, roll out the pastry and line the tin. Chill in the freezer for 20 mins, then line the pastry case with baking paper, fill with beans and cook for 15 mins. Remove the beans and paper, then return the pastry case to the oven for 10 mins.
• Crack the eggs into a jug, whisk, then add the milk and whisk again. Sprinkle half the grated cheese over the pastry case, then add the asparagus, egg mix and remaining cheese (if using a rectangular tin, you may not need all the mixture, so add it gradually). Bake in the lower half of the oven for 30-35 mins or until the egg mix is set.

ASPARAGUS & NEW POTATO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Put the potatoes in a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, cook for 4-5 mins until nearly tender, then add the asparagus for a final 1 min. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan and add the onion. Cook for about 8 mins until softened.
• Mix the eggs with half the cheese in a jug and season well. Pour over the onion in the pan, then scatter over the asparagus and potatoes. Top with the remaining cheese and put under the grill for 5 mins or until golden and cooked through. Cut into wedges and serve from the pan with salad.
