Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 5 min.
Thin tomato jelly and avocado tart
Prepare 1 shallot and leave whole.

Rinse 1 lb + 10.4 oz tomatoes, dry, then remove the hard stalk end with a small knife.

Stage 2 - 3 min.
Thin tomato jelly and avocado tart
Put the tomatoes and shallot in a centrifuge juicer. This should give you about 500 ml (about 2 cups or just under 1 pint) of juice. Salt and pepper then check the seasoning.

Stage 3 - 2 min.
Thin tomato jelly and avocado tart
Put 0.1 oz gelatin to soften in a bowl of cold water.

Stage 4 - 5 min.
Thin tomato jelly and avocado tart
Pour the tomato coulis into a saucepan and put on medium heat.

Bring up to a simmer, whisking gently from time to time.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Turn off the heat and add the softened gelatin after draining.

Stage 6 - 1 min.

Mix well and leave to cool and thicken slightly.

Stage 7 - 3 min.
Thin tomato jelly and avocado tart
Sit a 7-inch (18 cm) tart ring on a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet.

Note: if your coulis is still runny (if still hot), line the ring with stretch film to prevent it leaking.

Stage 8 - 2 hours

Pour the coulis into the ring and refrigerate for about 2 hours to set.

Stage 9 - 2 hours

Thin tomato jelly and avocado tart
Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

Roll out 7.0 oz puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) and cut out a circle the same size as the tomato jelly (7 inches / 18 cm). Sit this on a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet.

Stage 11 - 1 min.
Thin tomato jelly and avocado tart
Put a wire rack on top to stop the pastry swelling too much during cooking.

Stage 12 - 30 min.
Thin tomato jelly and avocado tart
Bake for about 30 minutes until the pastry is a nice golden brown.

Leave to cool.

Assembling the tart


Put the pastry base on the serving plate and sit the disc of tomato jelly on top (now you will see why it was a good idea to freeze it beforehand), adjusting until neat.

Don't worry about the jelly; it will come back to room temperature in about 10 minutes - the time it will take you to arrange the avocado on the tart.

Stage 14 - 3 min.

In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, salt and pepper.

This will be the dressing for the avocado slices.

Stage 15 - 5 min.

Peel 4 avocados and slice.

Stage 16 - 5 min.
Thin tomato jelly and avocado tart
Top the tomato jelly with the slices of avocado. Be generous and try to arrange them attractively.

Stage 17 - 2 min.
Thin tomato jelly and avocado tart
Use a brush to coat the avocado slices all over with the lime dressing.

Stage 18 - 2 min.
Thin tomato jelly and avocado tart
Garnish with a few coriander leaves.
Remarks
It is worth taking trouble over your jelly: use really ripe, well-flavoured tomatoes. If necessary, add a little lime (or lemon) juice to the coulis.

If you don't have a juicer, you can blend the tomatoes, then pass them through a sieve.

If you don't have lime juice, use lemon instead.

This tart can be varied by using shortcrust instead of puff pastry.
Keeping: Should be eaten the same day.
