Healthy Vegan - Yellow Mangetout, Broad Beans and Garden Peas Tart
There is still a week to go to share your vegan and vegetarian Eat Your Greens recipes. I have already received some made with seasonal vegetables and herbs, like chives and basil and I can't wait to share them with you all.
Well talking of EatYourGreens, here is a Broad Bean and Garden Peas Quiche with some yellow mangetout. All these came from my garden plot. If I had chickens, the free range eggs would have come from my garden too, but that plan is maybe a year away.
Anyway, I got carried away trying to make the garden vegetables look like an arty farty picture, that I forgot to put the shredded cheese on top, hence the reason it is looking so pale. I only realised this omission when I took it out of the oven. No worries, I chucked the grated cheese on top and bunged it back in the oven for a few minutes for it to melt.
Also its not the best Tart I've ever made, in fact its mediocre. It tasted alright, but how it looked was a bit disappointing. For the sharp eyed amongst you, you may have already noted it, but for those of you who need prompting, well if you look closely, first at the above image - in trying to remove it from the tin, I managed to snap the bottom right, and secondly, if you look at the image below - the real reason for this is that there was a crack in the pastry which caused some of the filling to leak out. Hey, these things happen even to the most experiences of cooks and this time it was my turn!
