Veggies:
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium parsnip
- 1 small rutabaga
- 1 medium small turnip
- 1 small golden beet
- 1 small red beet
- Pan spray
- Salt and pepper
Custard:
- 2 tablespoon Butter
- 2 clove Garlic pressed or minced
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- ½ cup Dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon potato starch
- 4 Large egg yolks
- ½ cup milk
- Salt and pepper
Crust
Measure flours, potato starch, and xanthan gum into the bowl of your food processor, blitz to combine.
Add cream cheese, butter, and egg, blitz a few times until mixture resembles gravel.
Stream in cold water as you run the food processor, just long enough to start to bring it together as a dough – you may need to use a little more or less water. Do NOT over-process it!
Remove dough from processor, knead lightly to bring it together as a ball. Wrap in plastic film, chill for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Generously dust work surface with potato starch, Roll chilled dough out to a rough square that’s slightly bigger than 11″ x 11″. Carefully transfer rolled dough to tart pan, smoothing the bottom and pressing the dough into the sides of the pan. Trim any excess dough that extends past the top of the pan, prick the flat (bottom) surface of the crust a few times with a fork.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Turn oven down to 350F.
Veggies
While baking the crust, prepare your roasted roots.
Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper, spray with pan spray.
Peel all vegetables except for the beets. Carefully slice them into ¼″ thick rounds – we use a mandoline slicer for this. Arrange onto one of the prepared pans, spray with pan spray.
Repeat with golden beets, arranging on one half of the second prepared pan. Repeat with red beets, arranging on the remaining space on the second pan. (Fussy, I know.. but beets “bleed” like crazy!). Sprinkle veggies on both pans with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 30 minutes.
As veggies are roasting, prepare your custard:
Custard
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, horseradish, and white wine, whisk until smooth; gently bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl whisk together potato starch and egg yolks until smooth. Add milk, continue whisking until smooth. Add milk mixture to pot, simmer over medium heat until very thick. Once custard has thickened to your liking, remove from heat.
Spread hot custard in crust, top with roasted root veggies, serve immediately.
