Chicken Tart With Arugula Pesto
- 1 lb mixed sweet potato, carrot and potato, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
- 1/3 cup flour
- 7 tbsp cold butter, chopped
- 3 oz cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 5 oz Mozzarella cheeese, grated
- 1 None large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/3 lb arugula leaves
- 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil
- 2 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
- Steam sweet potato, carrot and potato in a steaming basket over a saucepan of simmering water for 8-10 mins or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
- For the dough, process flour, a pinch of salt and butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add 2-3 tbsp cold water and process until mixture just comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, knead briefly until smooth and shape into a disc. Wrap in cling wrap and chill for 30 mins.
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0F. Roll dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper into a 12 inch round. Place on a baking sheet and remove top layer of paper.
- To assemble tart, combine cooked vegetables, chicken and Mozzarella in a large bowl. Spoon onto pastry, leaving a 2 inch border. Fold up pastry edge to cover filling partially, pinching into folds and pleats. Brush pastry with egg, bake for 20-25 mins or until pastry is cooked and lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, for the pesto, process arugula, basil, almonds and garlic until finely chopped. With motor running, gradually add oil in a thin, steady stream. Add Parmesean and process until combined. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the tart.
