NectarineTart

C. loves this recipe and I am sure she is going to be quite surprised that I made it with nectarines, and have created a gluten-free version too!  In Key West we would make this every so often with fresh mangoes which we were fortunate to have occasional access to on the island.  The original recipe was another discovery when I was going through my Vegetarian Times Magazine phase.  This time in making it, I decided to be adventurous and try out alternative sweets, oils and flours for the open-minded chef.  Be sure to try this out…it was sooooo good!

Roasted Vegetable Tart

A bite of goodness

A bite of goodness

The other night we had a dinner party with some of our friends here in Boulder. It was great to see them again as time seems to get away from us when it comes to socializing.  When it comes to having a dinner party, I am always happy to create something that I don’t usually make for myself.  A new recipe, or an old favorite becomes an opportunity for a new twist.  I have been playing with tart recipes for a little while now, and thought that would be perfect for this crowd.  A mix of gluten-free gourmets I knew that it would be a great opportunity to try out a gluten-free tart crust.  Thankfully, the reviews were quite supportive of the outcome!

I made two different crusts because one friend also avoids flax and almonds, but I still wanted to see how the tart would taste with those ingredients…personally I think both were really good.  I will list the variations below in case you want to try both as well.  I will not mislead you by saying that this recipe is easy.  It was a lengthy process, but it was totally worth it!  And we just made sure to make extra so we would have leftovers to savor for the next few days.  (I suggest you do so as well!)
