There is nothing more exciting than finding a use for edible flowers and fresh leafy greens from my garden. I love the colour pops, the flavours, and the little elements of joy they bring to the simplest of dishes. This Stone Fruit and Goat Cheese Tart is an easy appetizer or tapas option that has had rave reviews from my clients and it is chock full of happy vegetation.
Tarts are a lovely quick solution to layer flavour using endless combinations. This sweet and savoury blend is like taking a bite out of summer. It really is. Serve it with a refreshing Riesling on a sunny day for maximum satisfaction.
The ingredients for this tart are very simple and very fresh. You can find them in your local market or, if you are growing your own herbs and edible flowers, then look into your own back yard to pluck your favourite blossoms. To remove the skin off of peaches, bring some water to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Place a separate bowl of cool ice water to the side. Score an X on the bottom of each peach. (the non stem end) and place into the boiling water. Boil for about 1 minute, maybe 2 max depending on ripeness of peaches. If the skin begins to lift, remove right away. Place the peaches into the cold ice bath to stop them from cooking. Now, you can slide the skin right off of the peach no problem.
The peaches will be slippery now, so to slice them, I take my knife and cut slices like you would cut slices of an apple. You then give the knife a little twist in the cut lines and the peach slice should pull away from the pit. Do that all the way around the pit. Discard the pit after.
