Delicious in Dungeon #2: Man-Eating Plant Tart

 Oh no! a man has been man-eaten by this man-eating plant!

Don't worry Richter Belmont i'll avenge you, you sexy idiot.

I'm going to just dry roast the squash baraselia in its shell to soften it up...

When it had a headstart i put the aubergine betan in too. They'll be easier to work with and I wont have to worry about how evenly they cook in the middle of the tart.

Plan A was to see if the squash shell would make for a decent tart crust, but im not really feeling it, so fortunately I had a plan B

A bunch of easy-peel clementines! The crust is supposed to not be edible, and this will hopefully infuse the tart with a bit of pleasant citrus flavour.

hmm... I didnt think I really need to get it water tight, but is this really better than nothing...? I'm sorry I can't be senshi.

Some of the fruity-veg gets cubed, and then a bunch of the squash will go in the blender

Why not add a cheeky bit of extra clementine! and some water to help it mix.

This has blended thoroughly, its thick as hell which is nice. (Like our boy richter)

Now for the tart magic! I didn't actually have any scorpion broth leftover, so we'll use a vegetable stock cube, and for the power of slime gelatine, im trying a sachet of vegetarian gelatine. I'll plan to bake it in the oven and cool and just hope it solidifies somehow. I have never tested or tried anything like this before.

That blended baraselia (squash) gets mixed in with the hot vegetable jelly water..

It's poured recklessly over the way too loose peel, and topped with all the vegetables, including the tomatoes meeroak! But lets also season this with salt and pepper at this stage. Its going back in the oven for like 20mins and then gonna cool for a few hours... good thing i started this after lunch.

It's failed to set, maybe vege-gel wasnt the way to go... but thats not even the biggest problem. The cooked clementine peel is massively overpowering, and has made everything super bitter and marmalade-y, not pairing at all well with the vegetable stock. I'm going to scrape the rest of the vegetables out and cook them into something else like a curry. Oh well, you're not a brave adventurer unless you try something stupid once in a while....
