Pea, ricotta and mint tart
320g packet of ready rolled puff pastry or flaky pastry as seen on the video
200g frozen peas, cooked and cooled
1 garlic clove
handful of fresh mint (keep some to garnish)
250g ricotta cheese
1 egg
100g feta cheese or mozzarella if you can get it
grated rind of 1 lemon
Serves 4-6
Heat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6. Roll the pastry to a rectangle, 35cm x 25cm and place on a floured baking sheet (I line with a bit of baking paper). Place some foil on top and cover with another baking sheet to act as a weight. Bake for 20 minutes and then remove from the oven, remove the baking sheet and foil and cool for a bit.
Meanwhile, blend 3/4 of the peas in a jug with a tablespoon of water, the garlic and mint until you have a green paste.
Beat the ricotta with the egg and then fold this into the pea mixture with some salt and black pepper. Spread this mixture over the pastry leave a 5mm gap around the edge. Dot over the the remaining peas and the feta and return to the hot oven for 20 mins, or until the feta is golden.
Remove the tart from the oven and sprinkle over the lemon zest and remaining mint, drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil if you like and serve.
