Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Put 300 ml pistachios in a small frying pan on medium heat to toast/dry roast for 4 or 5 minutes.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Leave to cool then chop coarsely.

Set aside.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Prepare 1 litre 200 ml apricots, cut into quarters (or more depending on size).

Set aside.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Roll out 600 mls Puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) into a circle about 8 inches (20 cm) diameter.

Lay a sheet of cooking parchment on a baking sheet and sprinkle with brown sugar.

Lay the pastry circle on top. This will give the pastry a lovely caramelized underside.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

Spread 340.5 mls ground almonds over the pastry circle.

Stage 6 - 7 min.

Arrange the apricot pieces on top.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Melt 92.88 mls butter and brush over the apricots, then sprinkle with more sugar.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Scatter the pistachios over.

Stage 9 - 20 min.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Stage 10 - 2 min.

After 20 minutes, take the tart out of the oven and slide it with the paper onto a wire rack to help the underneath to crisp up.

Stage 11 - 15 min.

Bake for a further 10 -15 minutes.

Stage 12 - 2 min.

When the tart has cooled, glaze the top of the tart if possible.

Stage 13

Enjoy at its best the same day.

Remarks

Finishing the baking on a wire rack in stage 10 is not essential, but will give you the really crisp base that is often tricky to achieve with puff pastry.

Keeping

Should be eaten the same day.

Pâté de campagne

Here is a personal version of the famous country pâté. It's an interesting recipe to prepare in large quantities because it keeps well and freezes easily. The secret of a good pâté is of course the ingredients, but also how it is cooked.
