Lime Curd Tart

We were having our friend's Samie and Robert over and Greg was making his famous steak and oven fries. I was in charge of dessert and realized I had left over tart crust and lime curd so decided to give this Lime Curd Tart a try.

I am rarely this clever with 'leftovers' and was pretty proud of myself for coming up with this. Usually I would find both the lime curd and the dough a month and half later in the back of the fridge - no matter how hard I try, I still feel like we end up throwing out way too much food.

I've always read that if you over work pasty dough it can get tough, but I've never really experienced it until now. My crust was embarrassingly tough...it was reworked twice for it's first life (goat cheese and tomato tart) and then once again for this dessert. Anyway, it was a good learning for me.

Overall, it's hard to say as the crust was so disappointing. I'll try it again some day.
