Chef’s Handyman Apple Onion Tart
Planting the own herbs in the garden is so relaxing. Harvest the herbs for cooking recipes is much more than that. Each year I can hardly wait until the garden seasons starts. I have already prepared a place outside next to the kitchen. So I will be able to pick some leaves for the soups and salads. It will take a few weeks until I can plant them. Meanwhile I have to buy my favorites in the shop.
The sun is calling, that means also couch potatoes should give themselves a humble for a walk in the woods or for jogging along a trail. Now it’s the time where the blooming starts. You can already smell the spring fragrance.
Chef’s Handyman’s weekly special: Caramelized apple onion snack
To make the filling, cut onions and apples in wafer-thin slices. Melt 3-4 tbsp. of powdered sugar in a non-sticking frying-pan. Add the slices and caramelizes them. Not all pieces together the better result will show a step by step approach. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
To make the tart flambee dough, combine 500 g or 16 oz. of flour, 3 tbsp. of yeast (20 g or 1 oz.), 2 dl or 7 fl. oz. of lukewarm water, 1 tsp. of sugar and 1 tsp. of salt and 3-5 tbsp. of olive oil. Knead well. Allow the dough to double in size for one hour.
Chef’s Handyman tip: The finished dough can also be bought in a shop.
Roll the dough out and place it on a baking sheet. Prepare the baking sheet with parchment paper. Apply soy cream on top. Add the caramelized slices. Season them with salt and black pepper. Garnish with spring salad or with rocket, nuts and herbs.
Serve the tart flambee with salad.
