PERSIAN INSPIRED FIG TART

By Manuela | August 27, 2018 | InAll Recipes, Blog, Desserts

Just before leaving Zürich I found the sweetest, blackest figs at the local market. I had to make a fig tart! So here is the recipe.

• preheat the oven 200˚

• make a pâte brisée:

• 250 gr unbleached, plain four
• 150 gr unsalted butter at room temperature
• 3 organic egg yolks
• 60 gr caster sugar
• 10 cardamom pods, podded and the seeds ground with a little of sugar
• a pinch of salt
• pith of 1 organic lemon
• mix everything together, shape it into a ball and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes

• roll the pastry out and press it in a buttered, 24 cm pie form
• mix about 1/2 cup of ground walnuts with
• 3 tablespoons caster sugar
• sprinkle 2/3 of this on top of the pastry
