Potato Tart With Zucchini And Radicchio Recipes

GRILLED NEW POTATOES AND ZUCCHINI WITH RADICCHIO, GOAT CHEESE AND AGED SHERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Slice the potatoes in half and zucchini into 1/4-inch thick slices; brush both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the potatoes and zucchini until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Brush radicchio with oil, put on the grill and cook until lightly charred. While the potatoes, zucchini and radicchio are grilling, whisk together the vinegar, shallot, mustard and honey in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Put the potatoes, zucchini and radicchio in a bowl and gently toss with 1 cup of the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the potato mixture to a platter and top with the goat cheese. Drizzle with more of the dressing and sprinkle with chopped chives.

POTATO-AND-RADICCHIO TART

Steps:

• After the dough has rested in the fridge for at least an hour, and up to 12 hours, preheat the oven to 350. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle, dusting with flour underneath and on top, as needed. Use a knife to trim the rough outer edge of the circle, cutting away as little dough as possible. Place the disc on a sheet of parchment paper, on a half-sheet pan. Use a small palette knife or spoon to spread the ricotta across the dough almost all the way to the edge, and scatter the provolone and lemon zest on top. Season lightly with salt and pepper. (If the dough is warm, return it to the fridge while you prepare the potatoes.)
• Use your hands to roughly break apart the potatoes, so they're about halved, with jagged edges. In a large bowl, mix the potato pieces with olive oil, shallots, salt and pepper. Scatter the potato-shallot mixture all over the dough, and set the bowl aside (you'll use it to dress the radicchio). Fold an inch at the edge of the dough inward, pressing it over the potato mixture, working your way around the whole tart. Brush the dough with egg wash, and bake for 45 minutes, or until the edge as well as the bottom are light brown and crisp.
• Grip the parchment paper, and slide the tart onto a cooling rack, then cover it with grated Parmigiano. When the tart is no longer hot to the touch, dress radicchio leaves using the same bowl you used for the potatoes, still slick with olive oil, adding another drizzle if needed and a splash of white-wine vinegar so the leaves are just barely coated and glistening. Arrange the leaves on top of the cooled tart, season lightly with salt and serve.

ZUCCHINI AND POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a medium baking pan, toss together the zucchini, potatoes, red bell pepper, garlic, bread crumbs, and olive oil. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and lightly brown.

ZUCCHINI AND POTATOES JAMBOT

Steps:

• Heat a 12-inch straight-sided skillet. Add oil, onion, and butter. Add potatoes and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add zucchini, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning and saute 8 to 10 minutes more, until zucchini are just tender. To serve, garnish with parsley.

BROILED ZUCCHINI AND POTATOES WITH PARMESAN CRUST

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until just tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool. When cool, cut the potatoes in half.
• Place a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the butter, garlic, thyme and rosemary and let cook until the butter melts, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, season the cut sides of the zucchini and potatoes with salt and pepper. Carefully place the zucchini and potatoes cut side down in the melted butter. Let them cook until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the browed zucchini and potatoes on the baking sheet cut side up. Sprinkle the tops with the Parmesan. Place in the broiler until the cheese is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve.

POTATO TART WITH ZUCCHINI AND RADICCHIO

Steps:

• Start by cutting the zucchini into thin slices. Warm some olive oil in a pan and add a cracked clove of garlic (so that you can take it out once the zucchini is cooked). When the garlic has browned a little add the zucchini slices, cover the pan and stew them and add salt. Add water if needed.
• Cut the radicchio into thin stripes and follow the same procedure as to stew the zucchini, adding together with the garlic two leaves of sage. Do not let burn, the radicchio takes a short time to stew.
• Meanwhile (I usually do this when starting stewing the zucchini), peel the potatoes and boil them in salt water until they're tender. Strain and smash them - make sure there are no big lumps.
• Add the stewed zucchini and chicory to the mashed potatoes, together with some olive oil, black pepper and some salt if needed, then mix all the ingredients together.
• Cover the bottom of a baking pan with oil and sprinkle cornmeal on it. Pour the mixture in the baking pan and level the surface, pour some oil on it.
• Put the baking pan in pre-heated oven at about 430°F and cook for about 20 minutes.
• Serve warm - wait some minutes after taking it out of the oven.

POTATO FRITTERS WITH ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• If you'd like to keep the fritters warm between batches, preheat your oven to 200 degrees F. Spread the shredded zucchini, potatoes, and onion onto a clean kitchen towel and press out as much moisture as possible, changing the towel once or twice as needed.
• Place the shredded vegetables in a large bowl, then add the eggs, breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and baking soda. Mix until completely combined, using your fingers if needed to make sure all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Fold in the shredded cheese.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Scoop a scant 1/4-cup portion of the fritter batter onto the frying pan and flatten into an even layer, using either the back of the measuring spoon or the bottom of a drinking glass.
• Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden on the first side, then flip and continue cooking until the second side is golden as well. Depending upon your skillet, you may need to adjust the heat as you go to ensure the pancakes cook all the way through but still get crisp on the outside.
• Repeat with the remaining pancakes, keeping batches warm in the oven as desired. If excess liquid collects in the bottom of the bowl, discard it. Serve warm, topped with Greek yogurt and fresh chives.

ZUCCHINI 'N' POTATO PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the hash browns, egg, onion, Parmesan and salt. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. pie plate. Bake 400° for 20 minutes., In a large nonstick skillet, saute zucchini and garlic in oil until crisp-tender. Cool for 5 minutes. Spoon into potato crust. Combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over zucchini mixture. Reduce oven temperature to 350°; bake zucchini pie for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting.

ZUCCHINI PESTO TARTS WITH SALAD

Steps:

• Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and rosemary in a food processor; pulse once or twice. Add butter, and process until butter and flour are blended and mixture looks like cornmeal, about 10 seconds. Place mixture in a bowl and sprinkle 3 tablespoons of water over it, then toss with a fork; add a little more water if necessary, until you can pack dough into a ball. Wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
• Roll dough out on a floured surface until thin. Cut to fit 4 small tart pans or 1 medium one. (There will be leftover dough; wrap and freeze or refrigerate for another use.) Press dough into tart pans, and prick surface all over with a fork. Refrigerate again for an hour.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat egg with a tablespoon of water, and brush tart shells; bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden and slightly browned. Set aside for up to a few hours, or proceed immediately.
• Cut zucchini in quarters lengthwise. Dice each strip into 1/2-inch pieces. Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; a minute later, add zucchini and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they just start to soften, 5 to 10 minutes. Add parsley, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is soft but still green. Remove from heat and cool. Combine zucchini-parsley mixture in a blender with Parmesan and blend until smooth.
• Spread zucchini pesto over baked tart shells. Toss greens with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Pile greens into tart shells and serve.

ZUCCHINI TART WITH GRUYERE CHEESE AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
• TO MAKE CRUST:.
• Unfold crescent dough from the tube and press dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of tart pan to form a crust, pressing gently to seal any perforations; spread crust with pesto. (NOTE: If you will be using a shortcrust pastry recipe instead of the crescent roll dough, you will need to blind-bake it before adding the filling).
• TO MAKE FILLING:.
• In a large skillet, saute the zucchini, onion, and garlic in the olive oil until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and the herbes de Provence, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let cool slightly before stirring in the beaten eggs and cheese.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the filling into the prepared tart shell and spread evenly; sprinkle the top with a little extra grated cheese. I transfer the tart to a baking sheet to catch any overflow. Bake at 400 F until set and crust is golden, about 16 to 19 minutes.
• Remove to a wire rack and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes, before removing sides of pan.
• TIP: For ease of removal, place the tart on a large can, then carefully pull the sides of the pan down around it (you may need to run a knife around sides of crust to loosen).
• Slide tart off the bottom portion of the pan onto a rimless serving dish or cutting board (or leave it on the base to serve). Let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Good served warm, cold or at room temperature.
