  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup water

  6. Place the dough in the tart pan cutting off any excess. Place parchment paper over dough and add pie weights.

  3. In a food processor, puree the cannellini beans and sage unti smooth. Add salt & pepper to taste. Set aside.
  4. Spread the bean puree onto the cooled crust. Layer the kale, chorizo and red bell pepper strips. Shave the cheese on top and serve.
