Zucchini and tomato tart

January 10, 2017 por Carolina Rojas Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

This Zucchini and tomato tart is one of those recipes that may surprise, besides of being perfect for those who have problems with the gluten, since the base dough-base is actually made with almond flour. Of course, if you don’t have problems with gluten or you find it difficult to get almond flour, you can use another cake base that is explained HERE. But the fact is that you don’t need to have gluten problems in order to enjoy other healthier flours, and this particular dough-base has a very special flavor, which combines perfectly with the filling.

This tart recipe has some little details that will give a much more special flavor, and please trust me when I say that it’s very easy to prepare, it quite straightforward and its presentation looks beautiful, as you can see on the pictures.

There is one important detail I suggest you to do: when you slice the tomatoes and the pumpkin, add some salt on top and have some paper towels absorbing liquid from them for a while, as this will prevent them from releasing water during cooking.
