Direcciones
- For the Crust:
- Grease a 9 inch tart pan with a removable bottom. If you don't have one, I recommend a pie dish.
- Combine the cornmeal, flour and salt.
- Cut in the butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter, until the mixture looks like course sand.
- Add the water until the mix holds together when you squeeze it.
- Gently stir in the milllet.
- Press the mixture into the pan and freeze for about 20 minutes, until everything is nice and cold again.
- Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes, until just barely golden.
- For the Filling:
- Separate the leaves of your greens from the steam and cut into large pieces.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and add the leaves of whatever green your using.
- Cook about 30 seconds until just pliable and soft. Lay them out in a single layer so that they can drain.
- In a small skillet, combine the olive oil and shallot. Caramelize the shallots; about 15 minutes. Just before they are done at the garlic.
- In a bowl combine the milk, sour cream, eggs and spices. Stir well.
- Stir in the cheese.
- In the pre-baked crust add the shallots and spread into an even layer.
- Then layer in the leaves of your greens.
- Top all of this with your egg mix.
- Return the tart to the oven for about 40 minutes, until the top is golden and the mixture is set.
- Serve hot or room temperature.
