Roast Pumpkin and Mushroom Tart
Oh my goodness, I love pumpkin and I love mushrooms and to be fair, I love puff pastry! This is so special. If you are a vegetarian you will especially love this one. We created this recipe for our friends at Murray River Salt for their book that is in print now in English, Japanese and German! Woohoo. We are international in so many languages.
This recipe is a little bit special and will definitely please the carnivores as well. So for your next occasion, when you need a pretty starter, or a main, (cue the green salad) think of us will you?
