Asparagus Tart w/ Whipped Goat's Cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180C.
Prepare the asparagus by cutting to an even length, around 12-14cm. Place in a bowl, toss with olive oil & season generously.
Roll the puff pastry and cut in to 15x10cm pieces. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment. Prick the pastry with a fork, leaving a 1cm border.
Place five spears of asparagus on each piece of pastry, then egg wash the border.
Using a fine grater, top each tart with some of the Kelly's goats cheese. Cook in a hot oven for approximately 15 minutes, until golden brown.
Meanwhile, place the goat's button and the cream cheese into a food mixer with 15ml of olive oil. Season with salt & pepper and use the whisk attachment to whip until light and fluffy.
Shave the remaining asparagus with a vegetable peeler, mix with the pea shoots and dress lightly with olive oil and cider vinegar.
Once cooked, top the tart with a spoon of the whipped goats cheese, sprinkle with the pistachio dukkah and serve with the asparagus & pea shoot salad.
