Let us not mourn the gone summer and rejoice in the welcome autumn. With its warm colors, its scorching leaves, its ocher and earthy landscapes, autumn is the season of comfort. Soft, enveloping materials come out of the cupboards and the plates become richer. On the menu this season? The great box office classics: spices, squash, cheeses, hazelnuts, mushrooms and undergrowth flavors. Do you smell that slightly damp forest smell? These ground bugs open, revealing chestnuts; these porcini mushrooms to pick up – for the lucky ones –; or these fresh hazelnuts that have fallen from the tree.
Autumn legends
To fully experience the season, we rely on generous plates that give pride of place to autumn vegetables. Mushrooms, beets, endives, carrots but also apples or figs, for the fruit part, all autumn flavors are welcome. And to showcase them, what better idea than a savory tart? That’s good, there are plenty of savory tarts. With a roll of store-bought dough, you can imagine any pie, whether puff or not; when you prepare your homemade dough, you are spoiled for choice in terms of taste; you can even turn it upside down for a savory tatin!
Whatever the inspiration and the way of preparing it, the savory tart is an easy and effective choice that pleases the whole family. Here are 7 for this season.
