Goat's cheese and red pepper tart.

A colleague retired from work today and so we organised a meal at a local restaurant to mark her departure and wish her well. I opted for a goat's cheese and red pepper tart and was pleased that I did. It was assembled on a crisp, thin pastry base coated in caramelised onion, overlaid with long strips of red pepper and topped with a thick layer of creamy goat's cheese. A salad of mixed leaves, cherry tomatoes and black olives shared the plate.  I ate first with my eyes. Then the aroma hit. Followed by taste and texture. The conversation stopped. Silence as we savoured. A simple dish, that filled up the senses.
