PROVENçAL ZUCCHINI AND SWISS CHARD TART



Provençal Zucchini and Swiss Chard Tart image

This is such a pretty mixture of zucchini and greens that I hate to hide it under a top crust. Sometimes I substitute beet greens for the Swiss chard.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield One 10-inch tart, serving eight to ten

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 recipe whole wheat yeasted olive oil pie pastry
1 pound Swiss chard
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 pounds zucchini, cut in small dice (1/4 to 1/3 inch)
2 to 3 large garlic cloves (to taste), minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 to 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary (to taste)
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (1/2 cup, tightly packed)
3 large eggs, beaten
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you stem the greens, and wash them thoroughly in several rinses of water. If the ribs are wide, wash and dice them, then set aside. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water reaches a rolling boil, add a generous amount of salt and the chard leaves. Blanch for one minute, until just tender. Using a slotted spoon or deep-fry skimmer, transfer to the ice water, then drain. Squeeze out excess water and chop. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet, and add the onion and diced chard stems, if using. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Stir in the zucchini. Season to taste with salt, and cook, stirring, until just tender and still bright green, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme and rosemary, and cook with the zucchini and onion until the garlic is fragrant, about one or two minutes. Stir in the greens, toss everything together, and remove from the heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste), the zucchini mixture, and the Gruyère. Mix everything together, add pepper, taste once more and adjust seasoning.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a 10-inch tart pan. Roll out two-thirds of the dough and line the pan, with the edges of the dough overhanging. Freeze the remaining dough. Fill the lined pan with the zucchini mixture. Pinch the edges of the dough along the rim of the pan. Place in the oven and bake 50 minutes, until set and beginning to color. Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before serving (preferably longer). This can also be served at room temperature.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI



Grilled Zucchini image

Naturally suited to grilling, zucchini is both juicy and mild, which means it stays moist even when it's hit with fire, and it soaks up the smoky flavors of the grill in the short time it cooks. Maximize surface area - and convenience - by cutting the zucchini into sturdy planks, which cook through quickly without slipping through the grates while still retaining some texture. Brush them with olive oil, season enthusiastically with salt and pepper and grill until crisp-tender to enjoy them as a simple side, tossed into a salad or tucked into sandwiches. If you'd like to show them off, arrange them over some ricotta, then dot with herbs, capers and lemon and serve with grilled bread for an easy seasonal supper. The best summer recipes allow you to embrace technique but customize at whim.

Categories     easy, weekday, vegetables, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large zucchini (about 8 ounces each), cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch planks
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh ricotta (optional)
Fresh basil leaves (or other tender herbs, such as dill, mint or oregano), chopped capers and lemon, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill for direct grilling and heat over high.
  • Working on a large baking sheet, brush the zucchini all over with oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Once the grill is heated, add the zucchini to the grates in an even layer, leaving about 1 inch between to avoid crowding. Cook, uncovered, until grill-marked and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (The zucchini should tenderize in just the amount of time it takes to develop grill marks.)
  • In a small bowl, stir the ricotta, if using, with a couple tablespoons of water until extra creamy; season with salt and pepper. Spread the ricotta mixture on a platter, then top with the grilled zucchini, piling it organically to gain some height. Though you need no garnish, you can top with fresh herbs, capers, a flurry of lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice if you are feeling fancy. Drizzle with olive oil and serve warm or at room temperature.
