Equipment

Ingredients

  • 320 g (11.3 oz) pack ready rolled puff pastry
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 125 g (4.4 oz) asparagus tips
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) frozen petit pois
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) frozen broad beans
  • 200 g (7.1 oz) tub light cream cheese
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) smoked salmon sliced into strips

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Unroll the pastry and lay it on top of the paper. Score a line into the pastry 1cm from the edge. Prick the inner base all over, then brush the outer edge with beaten egg.   Bake for 15 minutes, until risen and golden.
  • In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with the lemon juice and some freshly ground black pepper, until smooth. Set aside.
  • Boil the asparagus, petit pois and broad beans in salted water for 2 minutes. Drain, then pod the broad beans.
  • Spread the cream cheese evenly over the cooked pastry base, then scatter over the peas, broad beans and asparagus.
  • Cook for 5 to 7 more minutes until the pastry is light golden.   Remove from the oven and top with the strips of smoked salmon, and season lightly with freshly ground black pepper.   Serve with some salad on the side.
  • It’s delicious served with salad on the side.

Notes

  • Make ahead – steps 2 and 3 can easily be done ahead, either the day before, or on the morning of the day you're making it.   Just put the cream cheese mixture and the prepared vegetables into bowls covered in cling film into the fridge until you're ready to use them at step 4.
  • This smoked salmon and spring vegetable tart recipe serves 4 along with some salad for a light lunch or dinner, but could also be served, cut in smaller slices, at a party or buffet.
