CRAB AND ASPARAGUS TART
A savory tart, its silky custard thickly studded with crab meat to pick up the sweetness of the wines, and asparagus to tame tropical fruit and citrus flavors with vegetal, mineral notes and a hint of bitterness, will make for a lovely lunch or a predinner snack. Come summer, some diced zucchini can replace the asparagus. It also delivers a kick, not in the filling but in the pastry. There's no heat from the subdued alcohol in the bottle. The cayenne in the crust makes up for it.
