Mushroom Tart

 

 A really delicious mushroom tart...
Simply tasty unique...

I am going to tell you how to make it as a normal original tart...
If you dont have time to bake your own tart you can always buy from  supermarket
the special dough for tarts. Its not expensive.


We will need

150 gr mushrooms
1 onion
1 green pepper
200 gr milk cream
100 gr cheese
i prefer it when its cheese for pasta or pizza.
salt, pepper, curry mix
olive oil

for the tart?

3,5 cups flour (half kilo)
1 yolk
3/4 cup butter or margarine
baking powder
half spoon salt and half sugar

So the first we are going to make is the tart.

Tarts for some people may sound as a dificult procedure...for me at first sounded really hard but when i tried it it was really fun and easy..The fact for doughts is just to be in love with them...then they are going to treat you right!!As a true lover...they are going to give you back all the love you gave to them...

I tried many recipes, by modifying the ingredients and i came out with this..simple one.

Its a tart recipe for salty and sweat tarts withour changing it at all...

Its cruncy enough but soft also, it not falling apart when you cut the pieces and its not getting wattery after 2 days...

You just have to make it as the recipe and bake it right!!!

put the butter to melt in really low fire...
you just need to have it for some minutes with the fire on and then turn off the fire and leave it to melt.

remove the pan from fire and make circle moves so the pieces of butter that they are not meltet yet to melt from the temperature.!
Its really important not to burn the butter, so ofcourse NOT  to start to BOIL

take one spoon of the melted butter and put it in the tart pan..

apply the butter all over the pan with your habds or with a paper or with the special tool for that

put the baking powder in the flour and mix it well
(normally 1 bag of baking powder is for 1/5 kg flour,make sure in the instructions of the bag, putting less is bad cause it doesnt go as fluffy we want and of course is bad putting more cause its an acid and it gives an acid taste )

at this time our butter is getting a bit cold, so now is n a good temperature so we can use it with our hands.
Be carefull at first mix it with a spoon cause fats when are hot can cause serious burns.

after mixing it with the spoon in teh flour the temperature is really ok and we can use our hands to make it a really nice mixture, if you feel it really soft add some flour,just a bit , mix and then if needed a bit more, if u want you can add 1 spoon of a alcoholic drink you like.I prefer raki (greek traditional drink with no fruity taste) or some vodka or white rum.

after mixing it we are going to add the yellow part of the egg.
Now its really important!!Some times the dought its still warm.

If we put the egg and not mix it immediatly then the egg will be cooked and the doght will have small pieces of egg inside..
Egg can be cooked in really small temperatures.
So if you are not sure melt the yellow of the egg in one glass and then put in in the doght and mix really fast

remember that the dought is really soft cause the butter is melted.After a while it will be harder, so dont be afraid of a soft feeling and for sure dont let it to mix it good later cause it will be imposible cause the butter will be not soft any more

make it a ball and let it rest for some minutes.When we say let it rest, and that most of the times is about doughts is cause it needs a bit time for the mixture to become one and ofcourse if have baking powder or yeast to let it be active..needs time..

DONT forget that for this reason our dought is alive, by meaning that its changes from minute to minute.

WE have to be really carefull and really tender!

if you want to know a secret about dougts this is the secret.Patience , love and tenderness

Put it to you tart baking pan, and open with your hands and shape it, slowly and carefully.....

Bake the tart around 15 minutes but first
create some holes with your fork   so 

the air can come inside and out easily
and your dough stays flat.


Cut one onion into small cubes and put it in the pan with some oil.
Add the peppers and after 3 minutes the mushrooms cuted as you want.
Big or smal slices,
Add your spices.
Add the cream and the cheese when all the vegetables are well cooked.


At this time your tart is half baked.
Remove from the oven add the cream to the tart and bake for another quarter.


TASTY !!!!
