Recipe Reviews

It all started with a weird cultural problem. One of the ingredients are runner beans. I looked up runner beans on Wikipedia and found an entry on runner beans - brilliant! The only problem was that although it stated that this article covered the runner bean, also known as the scarlet runner bean, it said nowhere that there was also the common Green bean, known as runner bean in British English. I searched the whole city for scarlet runner beans, only to find out, once at home, that the BBC means green beans, haricots verts. Is that a problem of the BBC or of Wikipedia, or just my own? I bit of all of the above, I suppose.

So, what about the quiche, then? I must admit that I forgot to add the courgettes - blame it on the runner beans. And I was very sceptic about that bit of adding 300 ml milk (far too much!) and 25 g flour (ugh, don't want a floury tasting quiche) to the filling. But surprisingly, the filling was neither too liquid nor did it taste floury, on the contrary: it tasted surprisingly light. Do take care that you don't overcook the peas though - try adding them a few minutes later than the other veggies. And there's no need to use cherry tomatoes, normal tomatoes cut into eight pieces do just as well.

I made a Pâte Brisée, a French Shortcrust Pastry as a base, and it went together very well.
