Fenetra tart, here the recipe for a typical tart from Toulouse.
The tart, very simple, somewhat rustic in appearance, is really delicious.
The apricots marry perfectly with the almonds, and to reduce a little the sweetness of the macaronade that makes up the tart, candied lemon peel is added, for a touch of sourness.
A delicious tart that will win you over from the first bite.
