Steps

  • Pulse flour, butter, sugar, and egg in a food processor until it forms a dough.
  • Wrap the dough ball in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
  • Roll out the pastry on a floured surface, press into a 20cm tart case, and chill for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Bake the chilled tart case for 10 to 15 minutes until golden-brown, then allow to cool.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 180°C.
  • Heat butter and oil in a large saucepan over low heat.
  • Gently cook onions and garlic with seasoning for 30 to 40 minutes until very soft.
  • Whisk eggs, egg yolks, mustard, and cream together in a bowl.
  • Mix onions into the egg mixture, spoon into the tart case, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Combine all beans and chopped mint in a large bowl.
  • Whisk Dijon mustard, lemon juice, vinegar, seasoning, and olive oil to make the dressing.
  • Mix the dressing into the bean salad.
  • Serve warm tart wedges with a spoonful of bean salad.
