What about a nice quiche or tart for dinner? Sounds good, right? Better than order a pizza or take out from the asian restaurant around the corner :P
I can hear somebody saying in the back “…but I get my food much faster with them!” Well – not really. At least not all the time ;) My pizza service or the sushi restaurant sometimes need more than an hour to deliver…. so?! Let’s make a delicious tart with fennel and coconut. If you do some preparations ahead of time, this one is done even faster…
If you prepare the dough of the tarte in advance (up to three days), this one here is made in no time. If you have 10 minutes in the morning before going to work, you can prepare the dough, keep it in the fridge until dinner time and then quickly make the tart. No hassle at all. In the evening you just have to roll out the dough quickly and make the filling – also done in no time. Off to the oven and while the tart is baking you can prepare a little salad – both together is an awesome dinner for a bunch of people :)
I really love fennel – do you? The combination with the coconut milk is awesome. Make sure you season well – the coconut milk absorbs a lot of the flavors, so don’t be shy when using salt and pepper :) That is important cause the fennel has quite a strong flavor – if he takes over completely, some might not like it. Season well! Do it! Good….! A bit more maybe :P
