Vegetable Flower-Tarte

The sun is bright shining and hopefully a day to enjoy to be outside. I desperately need to work in the garden, but......
I don't wont to lay too much work on my back as I am, after being sick for two weeks, a little weak on my legs. So I postponed garden work for later on. 

Still I wasn't lazy and I have been standing in the kitchen (as we didn't want to suffer from hungry ;)

According to the sun I decided to make a tarte like the sun - bright and colorful. I was hesitating how to arrange the vegetables I ended up to arrange them in a circle. Well, it's quite a little bit timetaking but worth it. And with the right music in the back, work always goes easier......

No go ahead and make your own Flower-Tarte and enjoy it with your best part and a glass of good wine!
