Steps

Savory Tart with Artichokes

  • Start by cleaning the artichokes, as described in the cooking guide: how to clean artichokes. Remove the outer leaves, cut off the tips, clean the stem, and keep the part closest to the artichoke. Then cut the artichokes in half and clean out the central fuzz.

    Now cut the artichokes into thin wedges and as they are ready, immerse them in lemon-juiced water.

  • Peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut them into pieces.
    (They should be cut to the same size for even cooking).

  • In a pan, heat the oil with a chopped fresh spring onion.
    (If you don’t like spring onion, you can replace it with a clove of garlic in its skin).
    Add the potatoes and let them flavor for a few minutes.
    Add the sliced artichokes as well.

  • Cook for a few minutes, stirring to prevent the vegetables from sticking, then deglaze with white wine.
    Once it has evaporated, add a ladle of broth and cook for 15-20 minutes until the artichokes and potatoes are tender.
    Near the end, season with salt and pepper, add the chopped parsley, and mix.

  • Once cooked, turn off the heat and let cool in a large bowl.

    In the meantime, beat the eggs in a bowl with grated cheese, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • Once the vegetables have cooled to room temperature, add the eggs and diced scamorza; mix gently and thoroughly.

    Line a round baking dish (about 9.5 inches in diameter) with the pastry and its paper, then prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork.

  • Fold the edges of the pastry inward.

    Brush the edges with a brush.

  • Bake the savory tart in a preheated fan-assisted oven at 392°F for about 20-25 minutes or until the pastry reaches a golden color.
    If you have a static oven, bake the tart at 392°F for about 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden.

    If you have an air fryer, prepare the tart in the air fryer basket as described in the recipe, then cook at 392°F for about 15-18 minutes or until the pastry edges are golden.


    (Remember that every oven and air fryer has different times and temperatures, so check).
