Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Pear, grapefruit and pistachio tart : Stage 1

Put into a food-processor bowl: 150 g butter, 150 g ground almonds, 150 g caster sugar, 3 eggs and 30 g pistachio powder or paste.

Pear, grapefruit and pistachio tart : Stage 5

Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).

Spread the pistachio cream in the pastry case to about about 1 cm (0.4 inch) deep.

Stage 6 - 10 min.

Pear, grapefruit and pistachio tart : Stage 6

Peel 2 Pears, cut into quarters lengthways. Remover the core, then cut each quarter again into 2 lengthways.

As pears tend to turn brown rapidly, the trick is to cut them on the same chopping board as the grapefuit and coat the pieces with the juice left, using a brush.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Remarks

You can use other fruit, of course, but do try to keep a similar balance between tangy and sweeter, softer fruits.

Keeping: A few days in the fridge covered with plastic fim.
