Leek Tarte Tatin

Leek Tarte Tatin
For: 2 serv.Difficulty: MediumPreparation: 25 minCooking: 1h05

There's not much in season right now in Quebec, right? Let's not kid ourselves. But there are leeks, lots of leeks even... So we'll work with that, and it's super tasty ;) 

We've prepared some little tatin tarts for you, because they taste good and it makes you look like a kitchen whiz! As the cooking time for leeks is quite long for them to become soft and tender, we cheat a little and pre-cook them before covering with the pastry dough, that's our secret!

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Peel and finely chop the shallots. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and sweat the shallots in it. Deglaze with the soy sauce, then add the vegetable broth, a little pepper, and the maple syrup.
  • Wash the leeks and cut them into sections (preferably from the white part of the leeks) about 1.5 cm thick. You can save the green part of the leek for another day, in the freezer, to make a vegetable broth for example ;) Arrange the sections in two small tart molds and pour the shallot broth mixture over the leeks. Bake for 40 minutes.
  • Make the pie crust: mix the flour and salt. Incorporate the margarine (or coconut oil) by rubbing it in with your little hands. Add water (about 100 mL) to form a smooth dough ball. You can add a handful of flour at the end if your dough is too sticky; I find that the result is always easier to work with by adding a bit of flour to finish. Divide the dough in half and roll out two circles.
  • Remove the tart molds from the oven and drain the juice as much as possible. Place the pastry rounds over the leeks so that they are enclosed beneath the pastry and pierce a hole in the middle to allow the air to escape. Bake for another 25 minutes.
  • When your tarte tatins are cooked, flip them over to serve!
