We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever.

Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God.

INSTRUCTIONS

PASTRY
FILLING
Pastry
Make the flour into a 'well' on the pastry board, beat the egg and add it,
with the butter, salt and a little of the water, to the centre of the well,
then work the ingredients into the flour with your fingertips,
incorporating more water little by little; whether you have to use all the
water or not depends on the quality of the flour. Press all the dough
together into a ball then, finally, work it thoroughly with the heel of
your hand, gathering it up with pastry scraper as you do so until it is
soft and pliable. Leave it in the refrigerator to firm up again before you
roll it out.
Filling
Peel the onions. Cut them into fine rings and weigh out 300 g.
Cook the bacon strips (which need to be VERY finely cut) in the butter. Let
them take on a golden colour, then add the sliced onions and leave them to
cook gently until they are tender.
In a bowl beat together the cream, milk and eggs, adding salt, pepper and
nutmeg to taste.
When the onions are cooked, add them to the mixture in the bowl and add the
chopped parsley.
Preparation
Roll out the dough 2mm thick and use it to line a buttered tart tin 26 cm
in diameter and at least 3cm deep. Cut a disc of aluminium foil of the same
diameter as the tin and place it on the pastry. Weight it down with a
handful of beans or crusts.
Pre-heat the oven to 150 oC (300 oF) and cook the pastry 'blind' for half
an hour. Watch the coulouring of the edge and as soon as it starts to turn
golden remove the aluminium foil and beans or crusts. Cook the pastry shell
until the base is baked but not coloured.
Fill the shell with the onion mixture. Put the tart back into the oven.
Check that the temperature is still 150 oC and keep the oven at or just
below this temperature for about 1 hour. Towards the end you could reduce
the heat a little, as the tart needs TO COOK VERY SLOWLY. The tart is ready
if, when you shake it, the filling appears to be quite firm with no hint of
a whole in the centre.
Serve warm, in small slices !
