Normality with a party and a root vegetable quiche



Noooo...not another quiche. Come on, be fair. I'm stuck in a hotel with limited kitchen resources. But, in a scenario not dissimilar to Dawn of the Dead, I currently reside above a shopping mall, complete with a supermarket that stocks ready made quiche shells. I do try and vary the fillings every time for a little excitement and this beauty was no exception. Wandering back from the mall to my hotel room, which requires some stealthy swiping through doors with key cards and imagining zombies on the prowl, I considered all the vegetables I had bought the day before at the farm shop. A plethora of root veg lay before me, bought in the usual child like over excitement of visiting that place. I decided to roast them all with garlic, herbs and butter, then chop them up small and throw them into the shell. What resulted was a true Autumnal tart, full of earthy, sweet flavours of beet and carrot and silky textures of long roasted eggplants and zucchini.
