What would you serve with this tart?

Having friends over for food for the first time in forever! Seeing as we used to do this a lot I'm stressing and over thinking to a massive degree.

I've found this, which has a nice oooooh factor, but what to serve with it? If it was summer I'd do salads, a green, a potato and a couple of others but it's October.

What are your thoughts? Vegetarian options only please? Smile

Id still do salad and maybe new potatoes, even though it's autumn! But I would eat salad anytime.

You can still do salad! Lovely mixed salad, coleslaw and new potatoes,
Or
Asparagus and new potatoes
Or
Green beans, baby corn and new potatoes.

Wow that looks amazing! What about roasted baby potatoes with garlic, lemon zest and a bit of rosemary (not too much), and a warm salad, so including some roasted veg and/or baked cheese? Green beans with shallots macerated in lemon would alternatively be good- fresh and snappy but warm. I think as long as you keep it flavoursome, reasonably light and colourful but adding in a bit of warmth and comfort.

Parmentier potatoes and asparagus.

Ohh, @Andrewthecharminbumwiper, a baked cheese is genius!

Kayemm · 14/10/2021 08:54

Some fab ideas - Not sure about the cheese as the tart is cheesey - but is there ever too much cheese?

Roasted salt crusted baby potatoes - when they're cooked remove from oven, split, add herb and garlic cream cheese then stick back in oven for 5 minutes. Serve with French style green beans.

Roasted veg....that you can put in the oven when the tart is cooking.
Boiled potatoes- otherwise to much fat/grease (for me). Fresh bread maybe as well....or instead....

Winter slaw and home made wedges

Roast potatoes, green veg such as beans or broccoli in a lemon butter? Winter slaw? Autumn root veg: squash

These roasties are lovely.

What about an autumn salad like this but without the cheese www.gimmesomeoven.com/feel-good-fall-salad/

rainbowunicorn · 21/10/2021 21:35

I would do this warm red cabbage and apple slawwww.inspiredtaste.net/8156/warm-cabbage-and-apple-salad-recipe/
I would also do some roast butternut squash cut into rough chunks and roasted with olive oil and garlic.
I might also add some green beans

sorry, clickable link here www.inspiredtaste.net/8156/warm-cabbage-and-apple-salad-recipe/

Hairyfriend · 21/10/2021 21:42

Is the tart the main meal/dish?

I'd do warm salads. Something like this, with warm pumpkin and a veggie rennet in the feta:

Warm potato salad or stuffed, mini squash/pumpkins. Like this:

SinoohXaenaHide · 21/10/2021 21:47

That tart looks fabulous. Can I come too?

I would do a side dish of steamed veg medley - french beans, broccoli and baby sweetcorn, all tossed in herb butter.

Potatoes would be too much for me given the pastry.
