Gregg's tangy lemon tart
38 comments
"I used my normal pastry recipe instead of what was stated here, and it was all perfectly ok, but not the best or most lemony tart I've ever made. I'll go back to my normal recipe, I think... Nigel Slater has a good one."

"not at all bad but not show-stoppingly amazing either. Probably would make a different recipe another time - Nigel Slater has a good one. Or add more lemon zest/juice as another person suggested?"

"took on board all these suggestions and here's what I did: used turkey instead of chicken, rolled it in 1tsp of five spice powder before frying, added crushed garlic. Used carrots, mushrooms and broccoli, also added a bit of sherry and bubbled it fast to help the veg steam, then later the lime, honey and sesame seeds as above. Random quantities of all of the above since I was feeding 4 and a baby. But everyone liked it and we didn't need to add any soy sauce."

"see, I didn't rate these at all. I don't think these should be labelled "easy" - I'm no novice cook, and I've breadcrumbed things plenty of times before. The instructions weren't very helpful about getting the butter inside, and despite my efforts I couldn't seal the butter in - I knew after I'd egged and breadcrumbed it wasn't going to work. They were perfectly alright, but they weren't what I was after from a chicken kiev. I'll buy the shop version next time instead of faffing about for several hours with garlic butter only to have it leak everywhere."
