Key Ingredients for Smoked Salmon and Parsley Tart

Here’s what you’ll need to gather for this delicious tart:

• 300 ml of milk
• 200 g of flour
• 120 g of smoked salmon
• 90 g of butter
• 50 g of water
• 40 g of parmesan cheese (shavings)
• 4 eggs
• 1 bunch of fresh parsley (chopped)
• 5 tablespoons of powdered milk
• 1 teaspoon of oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Make the Dough: In a large salad bowl, pour the flour, add the butter cut into small cubes, and the cold water. Knead quickly to form a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk, powdered milk, salt, and pepper. Chop the parsley and fold it into this mixture.
3. Add the Salmon: Cut the smoked salmon into thin strips. Using a vegetable peeler, make parmesan shavings.
4. Roll Out the Dough: After chilling the dough, roll it out on a floured surface. Fold it once, then a second time, and roll it out again.
5. Assemble the Tart: Oil a pie dish and place the rolled-out dough in it, pricking the bottom with a fork. Layer the salmon strips and parmesan shavings evenly over the dough. Pour the egg mixture on top.
6. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F). Bake the tart for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 180°C (350°F) and cook for an additional 10 minutes.

What to Serve Smoked Salmon and Parsley Tart With

This delightful tart pairs beautifully with a simple green salad, lightly dressed with lemon vinaigrette, or some roasted vegetables to balance its richness. For a refreshing drink, consider serving with a chilled glass of white wine or a crisp sparkling water infused with lemon. The tart’s rich flavors and the brightness of a salad or drink create a balanced meal that’s sure to satisfy any appetite!

Top Tips for Perfecting Smoked Salmon and Parsley Tart

To ensure your Smoked Salmon and Parsley Tart is a hit, here are a few tips:

• Dough Consistency: When making your dough, ensure that it’s not too dry; a touch of extra water can help create the right texture.
• Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest salmon you can find to enhance the flavor of the tart.
• Egg Mixture: Make sure to beat the eggs thoroughly for an even texture in your filling.

By avoiding common pitfalls like overcooking or under-seasoning, you’ll create a dish that everyone will rave about!

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you happen to have any leftovers (though I doubt it will be much!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the tart back in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. It’s also freezer-friendly! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, and it’ll last for up to 2 months in the freezer. Just remember to thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Now that you have all the tips and tricks to embark on this culinary adventure, it’s time to gather your ingredients and get started on your Smoked Salmon and Parsley Tart. Happy cooking!
