Rustic Harvest Vegetarian Mushrooms Tart
YumRustic Harvest Vegetarian Mushrooms Tart : releasing the flavours of fertile forests …
We had two nights of rain and this Rustic Harvest Vegetarian Mushroom Tart is the result of moist forest ground since I found several sorts of mushrooms at our street market, thanks to warm ground and beautiful, rainy nights. Here are the ingredients, tomatoes for the salad included :
You can always use the sort available and, to my experience, button mushrooms are the easiest to find. I used chanterelles, porcini and button mushrooms.
Also, I wanted to make the tart without prosciutto or bacon or intense herbs because it would be such a pity to overpower the beautiful forest mushrooms flavours.
