This is a great make ahead appetizer or it can be served as a light meal served with a simple green salad.
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- 2 leeks, white part only, sliced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 Windset Farms™ Adagio™ Baby Eggplants, cut into 1" pieces
- ½ Tbsp. sugar
- 3 Tbsp. sherry vinegar
- 9 – 10 oz. frozen puff pastry, defrosted
- 2 tsp. fresh mint, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
- 1 Tbsp. vincotto*
- 4 oz. Boursin cheese
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- Heat a 12" ovenproof skillet over low to moderate heat and add butter. Add leeks and sauté for 8 minutes, until softened. Remove leeks from pan and set aside.
- Wipe out skillet and place over medium/high heat. Add olive oil. Cook Adagio™ eggplants, turning once, until nicely browned (about 5 minutes). Sprinkle the Adagio™ eggplants with sugar and add sherry vinegar. Cook until all of the liquid is absorbed and remove from heat. Add leeks, mint and basil and stir.
- Roll out pastry into a circle, at about a ¼" thickness. Drizzle Adagio™ eggplant mixture with vincotto and cover with the pastry. Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F, reduce oven temperature to 350°F and cook for approximately 15 more minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Cool slightly and turn tart out on a large plate.
- Top with Boursin and a bit more mint and basil.
*Vincotto is made from grape must and is available at specialty food stores.
