How to make Tomato tart with chickpea crumble

1. Preheat the oven to 230°C (fan) or 240°C (conventional).

2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 27 cm round. Transfer the dough to a baking tray lined with baking parchment and chill until ready to use.

3. Pulse the chickpeas, pistachios, oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a food processor until coarsely chopped, about 15 seconds.

4. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the dough, leaving a 1.5 cm border. Scatter three-quarters of the chickpea crumble over the cheese, then layer with onion and tomatoes. Top with the remaining cheese and chickpea crumble.

5. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, tucking and overlapping slightly as needed. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash using a pastry brush.

6. Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the tomatoes are roasted and beginning to burst, 16–18 minutes.

7. Top the tart with fresh basil and cut into wedges before serving.
