Spring Pea Tart – Glam Radar

by Maria · August 31, 2014

There is something about this colorful green tart that just makes me smile. It is so fresh and simple—and to be honest, I am all about simple these days. In fact, this is more of a DIY recipe than anything else. Tarts are easily adaptable to taste, so feel free to play around with the herbs, cheese or even veggies to make it your own. I am definitely partial to something green or another bright color, because dinner should always make you smile, no?

As far as the crust, I am sure many of you already have “the prefect tart crust”. But if you like to mix it up or are still searching, I recommend the Rosemary Almond Tart Shell from Roost or the Olive Oil Tart Dough from Chocolate & Zucchini. I have made both many times, and you can’t go wrong either way.

Spring Pea Tart
serves 4

filling 1 1/2 c peas juice of 1 lemon 1/4 t salt 1/2 c crumbled feta cheese 2 T chopped fresh herbs (basil, mint)

pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 350F. Press tart dough (see above recommendations) into a 13″ x 4″ tart pan, distributing evenly along the bottom and up sides. Transfer to oven and bake, 10 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.

In a medium bowl, carefully toss peas with lemon, salt and feta. Pour into pre-baked tart crust. Transfer back to oven, and bake, 20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with fresh herbs and pepper, to taste. Serve warm.
