Tomato, Parma Ham And Pesto Tart
- 2 ounces cashews
- 5 1/4 ounces arugula
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 3 1/2 ounces Parmesan grated
- 9 1/2 ounces puff pastry prepared, left at room temperature for 10 mins
- 7 ounces parma ham thinly sliced
- 7 ounces sweet peppers stuffed with soft cheese, drained
- 8 3/4 ounces cherry tomatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F. Line an 8 inch diameter tart pan with baking paper. Heat a frying pan and dry fry the cashews until golden. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- Reserve a little arugula for garnish and place the remainder in a food processor with the cashews, garlic, oil and 2 tbsp cheese. Blend to a pesto and season to taste.
- Trim the pastry to a square and lay in the tart pan, pressing around the edges so it is wavy. Spread over two-thirds of the pesto, then lay over two-thirds of the ham. Top with the peppers, tomatoes and remaining ham and pesto. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 25 mins.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 mins. Remove from the pan and garnish with the reserved arugula.
