Cover with baking paper filled with pastry weights or rice. Cook in a moderate oven at 180°C for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and bake for a further 5-10 minutes or until golden.
- Mix ricotta, cream and parmesan to make ricotta mix. Line the tart with kumara mash and ricotta mix.
- Arrange eggplants and capsicum in a fan shape. Top with tomatoes and bake for a further 10 minutes or until heated through.
