Stage 2 - ⌛ 2 min.

Knead for a few minutes until evenly mixed.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.

Gather the dough into a ball and flatten this into a "cake", then place on a sheet of cooking parchment.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

Lay a second sheet of cooking parchment on top and roll out the pastry between the two sheets of paper with a rolling pin...

Stage 5

...until it is the right size for your tart dish or tin.

Refrigerate the pastry (still between its sheets of paper) for at least 1 hour.

Note: the pastry can be made to this stage the day before.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 15 min.

Prepare the filling

Prepare and chop 1 shallot.

Prepare and chop 300 g endives (head of chicory).

Prepare and chop 1 leek, keeping just the white part (you can use the green leaves in another recipe).

Stage 7 - ⌛ 2 min.

Pour 3 tablespoons olive oil into a large frying pan on medium heat.

When hot, add the chopped shallot, salt and pepper, and cook for 1 or 2 minutes without colouring.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 3 min.

Add the endives and leek, mix well and cook for 2 or 3 minutes.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 7 min.

Pour in 300 ml liquid cream, salt and pepper again, then turn down the heat and leave to reduce gently for 5 minutes.

Check the seasoning, then leave to cool.

Note: this filling can be prepared the day before.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 5 min.

Cook the tart

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Line the tart tin or dish with the circle of pastry.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 2 min.

Pour the filling into the pastry case.

Stage 12 - ⌛ 30 min.

Remarks

For a quicker version of this recipe, you can use normal shortcrust pastry, or even puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée). However, do try this authentic lard-based version if you can.

Bouquet garni

Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare.
