Butternut tatin

Butternut tatin

Following the principle of a classic apple tart tatin, this savoury tart is autumn in a dish.

The sweetness of the caramelised honey, the crunch of the pastry and hazelnuts and the creaminess of the burrata blend in harmony for a light yet exquisite dish. 

  • Serves 4

  • Total 35M (incl Prep + Cook )

Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash, only the elongated part without seeds. Peeled and sliced thinly - 2mm approx- with either a mandolin or a sharp knife
  • 1 sheet ready rolled butter flaky pastry, I use Paneton brand
  • 50 gr butter, in cubes
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 burrata
  • a small handful of fresh basil leaves
  • kasundi or tomato chutney to garnish
  • 1/4 cup rasted hazelnuts, chopped roughly
  • extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method

Preheat oven to 180C

Using a heavy based pan — I use a 20 cm diameter cast iron fry pan — melt butter and add honey, mix.  Arrange butternut slices on top in a neat overlapping pattern.  Season with salt and pepper and cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes or until you don't see any more liquid bubbling on the sides and the honey and butter have created a light caramel. Place the pastry on top, tucking round the edges of the squash, prick all over with a fork to prevent the pastry from puffing too much and bake for 20-30 minutes until golden. 

Cool down for 10 minutes. Place a serving plate over the top of the pan and carefully invert onto plate.  Garnish with basil leaves, hazelnuts and kasundi.  Place burrata ball in the middle and drizzle with olive oil.  Sprinkle burrata with salt and freshly ground pepper.  Slice and serve warm.
