Ingredients

• Puff pastry - 1 sheet
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Red pepper - 1, diced
• Green pepper - 1, diced
• Chorizo - 150g, sliced
• Cherry tomatoes - 200g, halved
• Black olives - 100g, sliced
• Goat cheese - 100g, crumbled
• Rosemary - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Preparation

Before you begin, make sure your puff pastry is thawed to room temperature, which will help in rolling out and handling the dough. The key to a perfect Sevilla Savory Tart is preparing each component with attention to detail, ensuring that all flavors complement each other to create a harmonious dish.

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
2. Roll out the puff pastry onto a lined baking sheet, creating a slightly thicker edge around the tart.
3. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
4. Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant.
5. Add red pepper and green pepper to the pan, cooking until softened.
6. Add the chorizo and cook until it begins to release its oils, infusing the vegetables with flavor.
7. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and black olives, cooking gently just to combine flavors.
8. Season the mixture with rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
9. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before spreading evenly over the puff pastry.
10. Sprinkle goat cheese on top.

Cooking Process

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the puff pastry are golden and crispy. A good tart will have a balance of a crisp pastry and a flavorful, slightly charred topping.

Utilize a cooking timer to check the tart at around 20 minutes to ensure it does not overcook. The aroma of the chorizo and garlic should waft through the air as the tart nears completion, signaling a near-perfect baked tart.

Enjoying Your Sevilla Savory Tart

Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the puff pastry to firm up slightly, making it easier to cut into clean slices. Serve your Sevilla Savory Tart warm, either by itself or accompanied by a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. Sharing this dish with friends or family over a glass of light Spanish wine will surely enhance the dining experience, bringing a taste of Seville’s rich culinary tradition to your table.
