Think green

herbs
                                                        Herbs from my garden
These days I have been thinking a lot in have a greener diet. Not that we consummated little green, but is not totally integrated into our everyday food.
And that's how I got the tough for this tart. In addition to adding green beans.  I used those who are  hidden in the fridge. That piece of cheese, which has been forgotten and that is very little to make a whole meal, leftover chicken and those eggs purchased, on impulse, in an exaggerated amounon Sunday 
The  crust ´s tart is very simple and  was inspired by the classic French tart, quiche. I'll post just the recipe for dough that is super practical, and that ultimately it is the most I used for tart crusts. For the filling can use all you have leftover and mix with 4 eggs (for a large pie) and 300 ml cream, salt and pepper and fill the cake. Just this!


  As side dish I made  salad with watercress, red onions broad beans, radishes and feta cheese. Seasoning with a squeeze of lemon, mint and olive oil
