Recipe Ingredients
Ingredients for the dough
- 250 grams plain flour
- 125 grams unsalted butter, cold
- 1 egg yolk, cold
- 1 tablespoon sour cream, cold
- pinch of salt
Ingredients for the filling
- 400 grams leeks
- 2 red peppers, medium-sized
- 2 eggs
- 200 millilitres whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Methods
1. Make the dough
Whisk together the flour and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Take a grater and grate the cold butter into the bowl with the flour. Now put the egg yolk in a small bowl, add a tablespoon of sour cream, and whisk. Work the egg yolk mixture into the flour. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour. Be careful not to over-touch the dough. Use only your fingertips to do this.
When the ingredients start to combine, place the dough on a piece of lightly floured parchment paper. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough to about half a centimetre thick and to the desired size. Take the height of the tart tin into account.
To transfer it into the baking tin, roll the dough over your rolling pin and place it over the tart tin. Carefully lift the pastry and slide it onto the side of the tin. Be attentive not to stretch the pastry by doing so.
Poke a couple of holes in the bottom of the dough with a fork. Roll the pin over the top of the tin and carefully remove the excess pastry. Cover the dough with cling film and chill the baking tin with the dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven
Now is a good time to preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Adjust the oven rack to the middle position of the oven.
3. Prepare the filling
Cut the leeks according to the size of the pot you will be using. It should fit lengthwise into the pot. Wash the leeks well and cook briefly in boiling, salted water. Do not overcook; the leeks will be ready quickly.
Then drain the leeks and cut them into rings about 1 cm thick. Wash the peppers and also cut them into rings.
Whisk together the eggs, cream, and spices. Spread the leeks and the peppers on the dough (see picture above) and cover with the egg mixture.
4. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
