Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 30 min.
Mexican tart
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.
Mexican tart
Pass the cooked 400 g tinned red kidney beans through a vegetable mill...

Stage 3 - 3 min.
Mexican tart
...to give a smooth purée, then add 4 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper while beating with a whisk.

Stage 4 - 4 min.
Mexican tart
Prepare 1 red onion and slice very finely.

Stage 5 - 3 min.
Mexican tart
Add to the red bean puree and mix well.

Check the seasoning.

Stage 6 - 3 min.
Mexican tart
Mix in a bowl: 4 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 10 drops Tabasco, salt and pepper.

Stage 7 - 12 min.
Mexican tart
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.
Mexican tart
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.
Mexican tart
Arrange the slices of avocado on top, closely packed as there should be plently of it.

Stage 10 - 2 min.
Mexican tart
Dip a brush in the leftover lime dressing and brush this over the top to give an attractive shine to the tart.

Stage 11
Mexican tart
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.
Keeping
2 days at most in the fridge.

Crème brulée
Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version...

Tiramisu
Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream.
