Beetroot and Carrot Tart With Ricotta
Make on Fresco
I love my vegetarian dishes...don't you? This one is super pretty and very festive so suitable for any occasion that requires you to feed both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian something hearty, filling but also elegant. This goes perfectly well with a green salad for lunch or use it for dinner and serve it up with a truck load of steamed veggies.
It is also fantastic cold the next day. But you may never find that out as it is so good hot! Enjoy!
