Ingredients
- 4 discs of puff pastry, 20 cm in diameter
- 4 medium-sized courgettes
- 8 tomatoes
- 40 g basil leaves
- 2 dl olive oil
- 1 tsp thyme leaves
- 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
- Salt, pepper, sugar
To prepare the puff pastry
Preheat the oven to 200 °C on the hot air setting. Cook the pastry discs on baking paper between two flat trays for 20 minutes. Set aside in a dry place.
Ingredients for the filling
- 100 g red pepper, diced
- 100 g yellow pepper, diced
- 200 g tomatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, chopped
- Olive oil
- Salt, pepper
To prepare the basil oil
Thoroughly blend the 40 g basil with 1 dl olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
Ingredients for the garnish
- 20 black olives
- 100 g parmesan
- A handful of young seasonal shoots
- Vinaigrette made with balsamic vinegar
To prepare the tomatoes and courgettes confit
Plunge the tomatoes into boiling water for 30 seconds, then cool immediately in ice-cold water. Remove the skin, cut into quarters, remove the heart and place on a tray. Season with a dash of olive oil, salt, pepper, a little sugar, the thyme leaves and the chopped garlic. Preheat the oven to 100 °C on the hot air setting, then cook for about 30 minutes. Set aside on paper towel. You can prepare these tomatoes the day before and keep them in the refrigerator. Cut the courgettes into slices 2 mm thick, then briefly brown in a non-stick pan with a dash of olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside on paper towel.
To prepare the filling
Heat a dash of olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, add the peppers and onion, season with salt and pepper and saute for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes until the water from the tomatoes has mostly evaporated. The filling must be dry. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, then add a dash of basil oil. Cut 4 lengths of aluminium foil, fold them into quarters and place a stainless steel mould 15 cm in diameter on each piece of foil (cardboard pastry trays can be used instead of aluminium). Divide the filling between the moulds and attractively place the tomato petals and slices of courgette alternately on top to create an even rosette pattern.
