Vegetable Tart

 I know that we eat with our eyes first!  I think presentation is so important in cooking and plating. I saw a photo of a spiral vegetable tarte and had to give it a go.  The base was puff pastry... easy enough as I purchase the frozen kind.  The filling was ricotta, egg, and parmesan cheese.  I also added oregano and lemon zest.  The vegetables were a little tricky to slice thinly so I used the vegetable peeler.  I had Japanese eggplant, carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash.  After the filling is added to the partially baked crust, the veggies are put in a circular pattern from the center out to the edge.  It was a little time consuming, but fun nonetheless.  The filling was just a tad bland, so I added some chimichurri sauce that I had made.  That really put the taste level over the top!  I will definitely make it again one day.
