Italian Rustic Squash and Kale Tart
- 1 cup unbleached white flour (do not use pastry flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup ice-cold water
- 4 ounces kale, tough stems removed, washed, drained and sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 to 5 green onions, chopped
- 6 ounces butternut squash, peeled, and cut in 1/2-inch dice
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped toasted walnuts
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Pastry: Whisk together the flour and salt in a medium bowl.
- Drizzle in the oil and mix with your fingers or a fork.
- Dribble in the cold water slowly, mixing with a fork as you go.
- When it holds together, knead it gently into a ball, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Filling: Steam the squash until just tender.
- Steam the kale until tender, then cool it under cold running water, drain it and then squeeze as much water out of it as you can.
- Chop the kale with a sharp knife.
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add both kinds of onions.
- Stir-fry until tender.
- Add the kale and squash, walnuts, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- On a lightly-floured piece of baking parchment, roll the pastry out into a thin 14-inch circle.
- Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto an oiled 10-inch pie pan (see Notes).
- Pile the filling in the middle of the dough and spread it out evenly.
- Bring up the edges around the filling to make a freeform pie, pleating the dough over the filling and leaving an open circle of filling in the center.
- Brush the dough with a little olive oil and cover the exposed filling with a circle of foil.
- Bake the tart for 30 to 45 minutes or until the dough is golden.
- Cut into wedges to serve.
- Its good hot, warm, or cold.
