Recipe of the week: lemon tart • We like to use Amalfi lemons for this tart when they are in season, but any lemons are fine, say the Boglione family. Whichever type you choose, it’s a good idea, if you can, to heat them above the stove before squeezing them: this will soften the fruit and help release their juices.
