- For the dough:
- 250 g flour
- 125 g butter (room temperature)
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch of salt
- 30 ml cold water.
- For the tomatoes:
- 1 kg cherry tomatoes (mixed varieties or just red)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of sugar
- 2 tbsp olive oil.
- For the labneh:
- 750 g labneh (cow or goat)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- A small handful of pine nuts (optional)
For preparing the dough
- In a large bowl, pour the flour and incorporate the butter, mixing with your fingertips. The mixture should be sandy, like for a crumble.
- Make a well and add the egg, water, and salt, then knead gently. Form a ball and flatten it a bit (to make rolling out easier later).
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
- Take the dough out of the fridge and flour your work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a circle slightly larger than your tart pan to cover the edges.
- Cut a round of parchment paper and place it in the bottom of the pan.
- Roll the dough around the rolling pin and unroll it over the pan, pressing it into the bottom and smoothing onto the edges. Using a knife, trim the excess dough hanging over the rim.
- Then prick the bottom of the dough in the pan with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
- Place a second round of parchment paper on the dough and add something heavy (lentils, dried beans, baking beads...) to keep the crust from puffing up.
- Bake the dough for 30 min or until the edges are a nice golden color.
- Remove from the oven, take off the parchment paper, and let cool a little.
For the tomatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 220 °C.
- Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes. Arrange in a baking dish. Toss with olive oil, salt, and sugar.
- Bake for 30 min or until the tomatoes begin to color.
- Remove from the oven and discard the excess tomato juice.
To finish:
- Mix the olive oil, labneh, and salt.
- Cover the bottom of the tart with this mixture.
- Arrange the roasted tomatoes all over to cover the surface well (be sure not to add too much of the tomato cooking liquid).
- Sprinkle with pine nuts and bake again for 30 min at 200 °C.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with a few basil leaves.
Recipe tips : If you choose a labneh that is high in water content, don't hesitate to drain it a little in a colander lined with paper towels to prevent the dough from absorbing too much water.
