Zucchini Labneh Tart

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack of ready-rolled puff pastry defrosted
  • ½ - ¾ cup labneh see below
  • 1 beaten egg
  • salt black pepper and ground cumin to season
  • 6 - 8 medium zucchini ends trimmed and sliced at an angle, about ½ cm thick
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 2 tbsp dukkah
  • sprinkle of chili flakes optional
  • LABNEH
  • 1 kg double cream full fat plain yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
  • Unroll the puff pastry onto a large baking sheet.
  • Take a sharp knife and cut a border around the edge of the pastry, running roughly 2 cm around the edges of the pastry making sure not to cut through the pastry
  • Spread the labneh over the pastry, taking it up to but not over the pastry border.
  • Brush the border with the beaten egg
  • Season the labneh with salt, pepper and cumin
  • Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer over the labneh
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over the zucchini
  • Bake for about 20 – 25 minutes until the border is puffed up, the cheese melted and the pastry is cooked underneath
  • Sprinkle the tart with the dukkah and chili flakes if used and serve immediately
  • HOW TO MAKE LABNEH
  • Line a wire mesh strainer with cheese or muslin cloth and place it over a bowl.
  • Add the salt to the yoghurt, mix and place into the lined strainer
  • Tie the corners with some string and suspend the "bag" of yoghurt over a bowl so that that the whey can drain from the yoghurt into the bowl
  • (I place a wooden spoon between two handles of a cupboard and then tie the string to the wooden spoon)
  • Let the yoghurt drain in a cool place for 24 hours at least
  • Scoop the labneh from the cloth, cover and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days
