Adjust with a pinch of salt. Also add the mozzarella in cubes and the fresh oregano. Mix everything up until smooth. 4. Roses-- slice the zucchini and the carrots for their length using a potato peeler or a mandolin. Place the slices in a bowl and cook in the microwave for 1 minute. This step will make the slices very soft and much easier to roll: they will not break while rolling. 5. Spread the cheeses’ cream on top of the tart base. 6. Take one long slice of a vege- table (I started with the zucchini) and roll it on itself very tightly. That’s the core of our rose. Take another slice and keep rolling. With only 2/3 slices you should obtain a nice rose bud. Place the bud in the center of the tart: the cheesy cream will act like a glue and the vegetable bud will stay in place no problem. Repeat, creat- ing rose buds of different colors/ vegetables and placing them one next to the other in a spiral. You will create a beautiful and colored vegetable field of roses. 7. Brush some extra virgin oil of olive on top of the vegetables and bake the tart in the preheated oven at 380F/200C for 50 minutes. 8. Use a sharp bread knive to cut the tart into pie slices. Serve warm or cold (the latter perfect for a picnic). Note: If using small tart tins or muffin tins reduce cooking time to 30 minutes.
