Savory Pumpkin Herb Tart

Want to know what one of my favorite vegetables is? Pumpkin! I love it, and not just in the fall. Pumpkin is such a versatile food that can be used in many different types of recipes from sweet to savory and everything in between. You can add it to breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner recipes. It can be used to reduce the fat and calories in some recipes and also reduce sodium in other recipes like sauces and gravies.

And the best part about using pumpkin is the convenience. I don’t have to wait for it to come in season, because I can always just grab a Pumpkin Can at the grocery store. I like to keep my pantry stocked with at least 3 or 4 cans of pumpkin. It’s a staple in my house.

This is one of my favorite pumpkin treats, a savory pumpkin herb tart. This tart is made with fresh herbs and savory red onions. It’s a great item to serve any time of year, especially for Sunday brunch or a light dinner with a large salad.

This tart is so easy to make too. You just start with a ready-made pie crust and place it in a tart pan or pie plate. Then combine pumpkin puree with eggs, milk, herbs and lemon juice. Then pour in the filling and top with some red onion slices. Before serving, just garnish with some additional fresh herbs and that’s it!

Pumpkin is such a superfood, packed with Vitamin A, fiber and beta carotene. A neat little trick for pumpkin I love is to freeze it in ice cube trays. Then I pop out those little pumpkin cubes, and have perfectly portioned additions to add vitamins to everyday dishes like oatmeal, smoothies and even macaroni and cheese.
