Easy Mediterranean Tart Recipe

Don't my tarts look good? 

Well I think they do and they're so simple to make and packed with flavour.

The surprising part is these Mediterranean tarts is all made from frozen ingredients (apart from the tomato puree), so it's an easy and convenient weekday meal. 

I bought all my ingredients from Iceland, who have such a great range of products in their freezers. 

You must go and have a look. 

I'm continually surprised.

Of course, you can pick up packs of Mediterranean vegetables for roasting both chilled and frozen elsewhere too.

2024 UPDATE 

Shrinkflation has hit. Ready rolled puff pastry used to be a standard 375g across big brands and supermarket own brands.

It's now shrunk to 320g (Jusrol, Tesco & Asda, maybe other supermarkets too) which can make a big difference (you end up with too much filling).

So be aware you may need extra pastry or you will have leftover filling (don't try and add it all to these smaller sheets of pastry).

What to fill a puff pastry tart with?

My latest discovery is frozen Mediterranean Vegetables in Basil Seasoning from Iceland. 

I'm rather excited about this tray of frozen seasoned vegetables.

I used the seasoned vegetables in this tart, but it would be so easy to throw this foil dish in the oven after work, then use it as a baked potato filling, on top of a pizza, in wraps with salad or in an easy homemade vegetarian lasagne.  

I loved the flavours. 

Bell pepper, red onion, courgette, garlic and cherry tomatoes. 

And it's only £1.50. Fabulous!

How to use frozen puff pastry?

I used frozen puff pastry. If you are using frozen puff pastry pop it in the fridge the night before, then unwrap it and pop it on a plate for 10 minutes before you need it.

All  the ingredients for my tart are from Iceland. It cost me £6.75 to put together this meal for 4 people including the sides.

I served these puff pastry tarts with spicy potato wedges and mini corn on the cobs. I still have tomato puree, some pastry, potato wedges and sweetcorn left for future meals. Great value!

Eating together as a family

We're back to eating in our conservatory, looking across our garden, which is so nice. 

It's rather cold in the winter unless the heating's been running all day and the door leading into it has been open, so we tend to eat in our living room. 

I much prefer eating at the table as a family.

A simple colourful and delicious puff pastry tart. It's a doddle to make and will delight your family. It's easy on the bank balance too.

Ingredients

• 1 block frozen puff pastry
• 2 tbsp tomato puree
• 500g Iceland Mediterranean Vegetables in a Basil Seasoning
• 2 tbsp frozen sweetcorn
• a good grinding black pepper

Instructions

1. Take your puff pastry out of the freezer the night before and pop in the fridge. When you come in from work, take it out of the wrapper and sit on a plate for half an hour while you do other things. I haven't included this time in the cooking time.2. Preheat the oven to 220c/ 200c fan/425f/gas mark 7. Once heated pop the mediterranean veg into the oven for 10 minutes. Remove the lid but keep in the foil tray.3. While the veg is in the oven, roll out the pastry quite thinly and cut 4 rectangles. Pop onto a baking tray and score just inside the edges to make a border on each tart.4. Spread some tomato puree on each tart, top with vegetables, a sprinkling of sweetcorn, season with black pepper.5. Bake in the oven until the pastry until puffed up and golden. This will take about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it, you don't want the pastry to burn.6. I served my tarts with spicy potato wedges and mini corn on the cob.7. Enjoy!
