The recipe for pumpkin flower tart
Ingredients
To prepare the savory pie with courgette flowers for about 6 people, you need: 10-15 courgette flowers, 1 roll of shortcrust pastry, 150 gr of cow's milk ricotta, 4 eggs, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
Method
Clean the courgette flowers of the central pistil, wash them well and put them to dry on a tea towel. Meanwhile, spread the roll of pasta brisée in the pan, puncture it on the bottom with the prongs of the fork. Now concentrate on the filling: in a bowl add the ricotta, eggs, salt and pepper. Beat with a fork, until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. If the ricotta available is very compact, pass it through a sieve first.
Now it's time to compose the tart: arrange half of the courgette flowers in the pan, then pour the mixture, finally cover everything with the other half of courgette flowers. Close the tart, folding the edges of the dough inwards.
Finally, bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 40 minutes. Serve hot or warm.
