In good, profitable restaurants vegetable flans are probably used to decrease the food cost percentage, as you don’t need the most perfect, fresh greens to make a mash. In the same way a thrifty or eco-conscious home cook can make a brilliant dish out of boiled veggies, and in most cases your family and guests will think you are a gastronomic genius. This beet flan with goat cheese has definitely received a lot of encores around here.
