Secret Art Club recipes
The Secret Art Club meets once a month - every second Saturday (contact them for details). Not only to you get to do fantastic art you can also indulge in one of Ali Penn's fabulous veggie lunches.
As a taster (sic) here is the first in a series of mouth watering treats you'll eat whilst submerging yourself in art.
CARAMELIZED GARLIC TART
This Caramelized Garlic Tart recipe comes from Chef Ottolenghi's book, 'Plenty'. Plenty is a book about vegetables and interesting and inspiring ways to cook them.
The tart makes a great brunch, lunch, party or picnic dish - a great all rounder. Making the Caramelized Garlic Tart takes a little while but it is well worth the effort.

Total Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes
Yield: Serves 8
Ingredients:
- 13 oz/375g all-butter puff pastry
- 3 medium heads of garlic, cloves
- separated and peeled
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup/220ml water
- 3/4 tbsp fine/caster sugar
- 1 tsp chopped rosemary
- 1 tsp chopped thyme, plus a few whole sprigs to finish
- 1/4; oz/120g soft, creamy goat’s cheese
- 1/4; oz/120g hard, mature goat’s cheese
- 2 free-range eggs
- 1/2; cup/100ml heavy/double cream
- 1/2; cup/100ml crème fraîche
- salt and black pepper
Preparation:
- Have ready a shallow, loose-bottomed, 28cm fluted tart tin. Roll out the puff pastry into a circle that will line the bottom and sides of the tin, plus a little extra. Line the tin with the pastry. Place a large circle of greaseproof paper on the bottom and fill up with baking beans. Leave to rest in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas Mark 4. Place the tart case in the oven and bake blind for 20 minutes. Remove the beans and paper, then bake for a further 5-10 minutes, or until the pastry is golden. Set aside. Leave the oven on.
- While the tart case is baking, make the caramelized garlic. Put the cloves in a small saucepan and cover with plenty of water. Bring to a simmer and blanch for 3 minutes, then drain well.
- Dry the saucepan, return the cloves to it and add the olive oil. Fry the garlic cloves on a high heat for 2 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and water and bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Add the sugar, rosemary, chopped thyme and ¼ teaspoon salt. Continue simmering on a medium flame for 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the garlic cloves are coated in a dark caramel syrup. Set aside.
- To assemble the tart, break both types of goat's cheese into pieces and scatter in the pastry case. Spoon the garlic cloves and syrup evenly over the cheese.
- In a jug whisk together the eggs, creams, ½ teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Pour this custard over the tart filling to fill the gaps, making sure that you can still see the garlic and cheese over the surface.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C/Gas Mark 3 and place the tart inside. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the tart filling has set and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool a little.
- Then take out of tin, trim the pastry edge if needed, lay a few sprigs of thyme on top and serve warm (it reheats well!) with a crisp salad.
