This beautiful fig and onion tart is perfect for a special teatime occasion with a delicious balance between savoury and sweet – all in one tart. The pastry is made with cottage cheese and some butter, which makes it less finicky, so even if you have not made your own pastry before, then this recipe is perfect for you. I love to be creative with what’s in season and my taste buds have been craving something like this for the longest time. Yay, now I have another delicious recipe to make when figs are in season.

Botterskorsie is een van my gunsteling-groentes. In hierdie feestelike slaai dien dit beide as groente en stysel. Die geroosterde botterskorsie en beet en is absoluut heerlik saam met die bokmelkkaas en dukkah.

Eenvoud is die vreugde van die lewe, so het Koos du Plessis gedig, en dis net so waar as mens oor kos gesels. Die lekkerste kombinasie van bestanddele is soms die eenvoudigste. As mens eers weet watter bestanddele perfekte pasmaats is, is helfte van die werk in die kombuis reeds gedoen.

In die feestyd is dit altyd lekker om ’n resep of twee te hê wat moeiteloos is om voor te berei en op verskillende maniere voorgesit kan word. Almal wil lekker eet, maar nie noodwendig ure in die kombuis moet spandeer nie. Dié geurige geroosterde botterskorsie met kekerertjies en bone is ’n ideale resep vir die vakansie.

Spring is such an exciting season with all the signs of new life, green leaves and blossoming flowers. The same is true for the range of veggies and herbs that becomes available during these months. I always feel inspired to use them as often as possible. It’s also a time when many of us start to put warm soups and stews on the back burner and rather opt for lighter, fresher meals.
