This savory eggplant, ricotta, and Jean Martin eggplant caviar Tarte Tatin makes for an elegant appetizer or vegetarian main course, featuring a sweet and savory touch of figs and honey.
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Using a brush, coat the bottom of a tart dish with honey and olive oil.
Slice the eggplant and arrange the slices in a rosette pattern at the bottom of the tart dish.
Spread the eggplant caviar over them.
Cover with the pastry, pricking it with a knife.
Bake for 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F), then invert the tart once out of the oven. Season with salt and pepper.
Add a spoonful of ricotta to the center and arrange a few arugula leaves, fig wedges, and pine nuts, then season with salt and pepper. It's ready to serve!
Our tip
Invert the tart while it is lukewarm, neither hot nor cold: this is the ideal time for a clean release, just like a classic sweet Tatin.
Variation
When figs are out of season, replace them with confit cherry tomatoes to keep that sweet and savory touch.
Pairings & suggestions
This tart pairs well with a light sweet white wine or a Provence rosé.
