Convection Roast Mode


A simple dough with flour, water, olive oil, and yeast is perfect for this vegan tomato tart with red onion and Dijon mustard coulis.
Vegan tomato tart, delicious and easy to make.

An easy-to-make pastry crust made with olive oil is the base for this delicious vegan tomato tart, assembled in four easy steps. The rich flavor of the tart comes from baking some of the tomatoes at high heat in Convection before blending them to form a coulis. This flavorful coulis spread over the olive oil crust and topped with fresh tomatoes creates a rich, flavorful tart that is a visual and taste sensation.


Step 1: Prepare the pastry and set it aside for one hour.

Step 2: Prepare 1 lb of tomatoes and bake them in Convection for 15 minutes, cool, then blend to make the coulis.

Step 3: Prep the remaining tomatoes and assemble the tart.

Step 4: Bake the tart.


INGREDIENTS


For the tomatoes

3 lbs cherry tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 small red onion, finely sliced

½ tsp dried oregano 

¼ tsp dried thyme

½ tsp low-sodium soy sauce or kosher salt

Freshly ground pepper

1 tbsp of Dijon mustard

1 lemon,  zested for garnish

Capers for garnish(optional)


For the crust

2 ½ cups (300 g) unbleached all-purpose flour

½  cup (100 ml) warm water

½  cup (100 ml) olive oil

4 tsp (12 g) instant yeast

1 ¾ tsp (10 g) salt

Flour, olive oil, water, yeast, and salt.
Crust ingredients

Prepare the Dough


Lightly brush a 10-inch round metal tart pan with olive oil and line it with a circle of parchment paper.


Combine the warm water, olive oil, and yeast in a small bowl until completely incorporated. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes until bubbles appear around the edge. 


Combine the salt and flour in a medium bowl. Add the liquid from the small bowl to the flour mixture, mixing with a fork or wooden spoon and then kneading by hand. Mix well, but don’t overwork the dough; this step should be quick. You want the dough to be a little rough. 


Place the dough in the oiled pan and spread it evenly with your fingers to the edge of the pan. Carefully trim the excess dough, cover the pan with a flour sack towel, and set aside for one hour.



Prepare the Tomatoes for the Coulis


Heat the oven in the convection roast or convection bake mode to 425°F.


Combine ⅓ (1lb) of the prepared cherry tomatoes (cut in halves) with the sliced onion. Add the olive oil, ¼ tsp dried oregano, and soy sauce or salt.


Spread the seasoned tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, taking care not to crowd them. Bake them in the lower part of the oven at 425°F for 15 minutes. Placing the tray close to the bottom heating element allows the skins to caramelize, creating a deep, rich flavor.

Remove the tray from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a blender and purée with 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.


Mix the remaining tomatoes cut in halves with ¼ tsp oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper and set aside.


To assemble the tart, spread a thin layer of the tomato coulis onto the dough, adding an additional pinch of oregano to taste. Arrange the halved tomatoes atop the dough, packing them as tightly as possible. Drizzle with olive and sprinkle with sea salt.


Bake at 425 degrees in the lower part of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the tomatoes are slightly charred. Add the lemon zest and serve warm or at room temperature.
