It’s dinner time and you’re staring at an empty fridge? This kale tart is the solution! It’s homemade and it will fill your kitchen with wonderful aromas.

This quick recipe is easy to make and the ingredients can be found in any corner supermarket (at least in England).

You can serve the tart hot as a main course or as a side dish for a bbq. I also like it at room temperature, which is ideal for picnics or as an appetiser.

Kale is a nutritious and yummy vegetable and I love to include it in my weekly diet. The combination of shallots, honey and cheese, over the puff pastry dough, almost makes this tart a treat; but you can also use your own favourite veggies…the sky is the limit!
