    Ingredients

    • 2 sheets shortcrust pastry
    • 200g ricotta cheese
    • 2 tbs light cream
    • 1 tbs parmesan cheese, grated
    • 600g kumara, cooked and mashed

    • parmesan cheese, shaved (to garnish)
    • basil leaves (to garnish)

    Method

    1. Place 2 sheets of shortcrust pastry overlapping slightly on the bench, lightly roll to combine joins. Spray a 24cm x 4cm tart tin and line with pastry, trim and prick the base. 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.
    2. Mix ricotta, cream and parmesan to make ricotta mix. Line the tart with kumara mash and ricotta mix.
    3. Arrange eggplants and capsicum in a fan shape. Top with tomatoes and bake for a further 10 minutes or until heated through.
      Serve garnished with basil and shaved parmesan.
