Remarks
As I mentioned in the introduction, many people add tomatoes, but this is not essential to the recipe and I really don't feel it improves on the basic defining flavours of the herbs and lemon.

If you'd like an even more distinctive flavour, add the lemon zest in stage 5.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

How to glaze a tart
How to glaze a tart
Professional pastrycooks usually say that "a beautiful cake is already half sold", it is one of the reasons why they do not put a tart on sale without glazing it ("abricoter" in Fench), i.e. coating it with a thick apricot syrup. This glaze gives a glossy finish to the tart (see the photographs below) and also protects it from the air and thus from oxidation and browning. It's a quite simple technique that you can easily apply to give to your desserts a professional look. This is how you do it.
