Recipe: Cauliflower & Bacon Tart - Recette: Tarte au Chou-Fleur & Bacon

Submitted by Nathalie on Thursday, 5 February 2009No Comment

The weekly fruit & veg series is for me the occasion to look for and try new recipes, or recipes which I wouldn’t have tested otherwise. This is the case with this cauliflower & bacon tart. Why? Simply because I would never have put cauliflower on a tart and I’ve been pleasantly surprised.
