Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 30 min.

Use 300 g Shortcrust pastry (pâte brisée) to make a cooked pastry case: roll out and line a tart tin then bake blind.

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Pass the cooked 400 g tinned red kidney beans through a vegetable mill...

Stage 3 - 3 min.

...to give a smooth purée, then add 4 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper while beating with a whisk.

Stage 4 - 4 min.

Prepare 1 red onion and slice very finely.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Add to the red bean puree and mix well.

Check the seasoning.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Mix in a bowl: 4 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 10 drops Tabasco, salt and pepper.

Stage 7 - 12 min.

Prepare 4 avocados and slice. Put in a salad bowl and drizzle the lime juice and oil mixture over.

Mix very gently, as the avocado slices are fragile and tend to break up easily.

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Sit the cooled tart case on its serving plate and fill with the red bean purée in a thick, even layer.

Stage 9 - 7 min.

Arrange the slices of avocado on top, closely packed as there should be plently of it.

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Dip a brush in the leftover lime dressing and brush this over the top to give an attractive shine to the tart.

Stage 11

Finish with a little coarsly chopped coriander. Your Mexican tart is ready.

Remarks

The Tabasco sauce in stage 6 is not absolutely essentail, but it really does pep up the flavour.

Similarly, though it is more Mediterranean than South American, you can use puréed chick peas.
