crust

3 cups all purpose flour

Method

For dough:
Combine the flour, butter and some salt and pepper using a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles  coarse meal.
Mix in 2 tablespoons of the oil and  the water just until the bottom of the mixture begings to cling together, If necessary add a little more water.

Mix together the olive oil, basil, parsley and garlic in a small bowl.. Brush two thirds of the mixture over the tart. remove the tart and cool briefly before serving.
