2 cups flour

3 sticks unsalted butter – chop into squares

Put these ingredients in processor and chop several times.  Add a bit of salt.  Add ¼ to ½ tsp of thyme (rub in between hands first).

Zest a lemon (peel the peeling).  Dice the peeling and add to dough.

Add cold water, blend dough until it forms into a ball.  Dust the ball with flour.

Dust parchment paper with flour and roll the pastry out.  Use tart pan and spray with Pam.  Fold like a piece of pie and tuck into pan.  Line the pastry with parchment and fill with rice.  Bake 10-15 minutes at 400.

Sauté sliced leeks with olive oil and salt and pepper until golden brown and crispy.

Remove rice from baked crust.  Spread bottom with fried leeks and sprinkle with salt.  Layer with sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with basil, oregano or any Italian spices.  Sprinkle with asiago & goat cheese or feta.
