This Fennel Onion Tart is easy to make with store bought pastry and fresh produce.

Fennel, if you have never tried it is taste similar to black licorice.

Like lentils, I have been putting fennel in and on everything.

I am very lucky, being a Produce Manager I have access to the freshest produce available and I take full advantage of it.

I made this tart using freshly made Ricotta and sweet onions. Store bought puff pastry makes the prep quick and easy.
