Ingredients
- 1 quantity of Heart Foundation ‘Basic’s Wholemeal Savoury Pastry Recipe
Tart filling
- 4 large carrots, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup labne (also known as yoghurt cheese)
- 1 tablespoon reduced fat milk
- 2 tablespoons coriander, to serve
- 2 tablespoons walnuts, to serve
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180 °C. Line a large rectangle baking tray with baking paper. Set aside.
Step 2
Once the pastry is chilled, roll out the pastry until 1 cm thick on a lightly floured surface. Place the rolled pastry onto the prepared baking tray.
Step 3
To make tart filling, combine carrots, egg, coriander, cumin and pepper in a large bowl and stir to combine. Spread over the tart base. Spoon over the labne.
Step 4
Fold pastry edges inwards and brush with milk before baking for 25 minutes in the oven, or until pastry is golden brown.
Step 5
Top with coriander and walnuts before serving.
Tips
- Freeze the 2 leftover portions of spiced carrot and labne tart for a ready to go side dish or use leftover portions as a side with lunch the next day.
- Another word for Labne is ‘strained yoghurt’. An easy way to make Labne is to use Greek yoghurt and strain it overnight through a clean chux cloth or cheese cloth wound up in a ball.
