Comments on: leek and swiss chard tart http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/01/leek-and-swiss-chard-tart/ Wed, 23 May 2012 04:58:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jennifer http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/01/leek-and-swiss-chard-tart/#comment-1845665 Jennifer Tue, 08 May 2012 17:31:06 +0000 http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/01/leek-and-swiss-chard-tart/#comment-1845665 So I know this post is a few years old, but I just made this last night and it was awesome. I found the recipe while searching for something to do with the leeks and chard I got in my last CSA box. This tart was delicious. My husband agreed. I know my other family members would love it, so it's definitely in the books for future family get-togethers.

However, my husband was recently diagnosed with Meniere's Disease and a wheat allergy (at age 44! Ugh!) so I made this with an almond flour tart crust from http://www.elanaspantry.com/gluten-free-tart-crust/. It was AMAZING with this recipe -- the nuttiness in the almond flour was a perfect compliment to the leeks and chard. So, whether or not you need a gluten free recipe, I highly recommend the almond tart crust as an alternate version.

This is absolutely delicious!! I'm just finishing a piece for lunch, my first bites of the finished product. I have a massive amount of fresh thyme, so used it and added a few very ripe cherry tomato halves on top. Goodness, I love leeks! Your site is beautiful. Thanks.

Thanks--I'm making this as a dinner side tonight. (Can't explain why I expected this tart to have cheese in it! I guess for me the word Swiss is a mnemonic for cheese, Federer and army knives!) Deb,

Because the PP doesn't 'puff', as Natalie said above, for me the texture is all wrong. The crust is just a buttery mess. After two other times trying to use puff pastry as pie/quiche crust, I have concluded that that's really not where it deserves to be used. Puff pastry should shine! The filling however, is amazing, and I already have a request from my husband to make it again. This was delicious, but I would go with Deb’s use of the tartdough over the puff pastry.

I used the kale and leeks for the tart and made a very simple pie/tart dough. I must confess that I did add a little cheese, which was tasty, but it certainly didn't need it. I'm not much of a tart or quiche maker so I was very happy when it turned out perfectly (just needed to be in the oven a bit longer than the recipe called for) and my husband and I have been eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thanks again for another amazing recipe--I froze dough for an extra crust so will definitely be making another rendition later this summer or fall.

I have been drowning in greens from our CSA this cold spring, so I have spent a lot of time in your recipe index. So I am really writing about this tart, your chard and white bean stew, creamed chard, and spagetti with chard and garlic. I cannot thank you enough for providing some variety for my family during chard-o-rama. As a thank you, I wanted to point you to this chard recipe. It started as an Alice Waters recipe in a post from Louisa (of Wednesday Chef), but this person evolved it to new heights with fennel! I hadn't heard of this blog, this was a Tastespotting find. I think you might like it! http://phoo-d.com/2009/07/06/swiss-chard-and-fennel-gratin/ Hi Deb, I made this tart recently and it was divine.
