Spiced nectarine and blackberry tartelette
Serves 1
Peugeot equipment: Maestro pepper mill
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp honey
- 2 nectarines, split in half, stone removed, and flesh criss-crossed with a knife
- 2 vanilla pods, halved
- Sikara white pepper
- 4x 50 g puff pastry
- Flour to roll pastry down
- 100g chopped pistachio nuts (Oven dried at very low temperature)
- 100ml crème fraiche
- 8 large blackberries
Preparation:
- Start by rolling out each of the pastry between two layers of greaseproof paper, add 1 turn of pepper grinder on 5 setting, and carry on rolling down, and a further ½ turn of pepper grinding still on setting number 5, carry on rolling it down until about 1.5mm thick, then cut into a disc large enough to totally cover the fruits, place in the fridge.
- Line 4 deep tart tins with greaseproof paper
- Pour the honey/caramel into the bases of the tart tins
- Place half vanilla pod split in the honey/caramel
- Push two blackberries into each nectarine and place into the tin (blackberries side down)
- Cover the fruits with the pastry tucking the edges of the pastry down the sides, making sure it touches the honey/caramel (remove any excess juices)
- Place the tarts into the fridge for at least 30 minutes until the pastry becomes hard enough to hold the dessert together nice and tight
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (ideally fan assisted)
- Place the tarts in the oven and bake for around 20 minutes, until the pastry is crisp and golden and the fruits feel soft when pricked with a knife
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly
- Invert the tartelette onto serving plates (the greaseproof paper will help you to do that and to stabilize the tart, by pulling the edges and applying a little pressure)
- Quickly scatter the pistachio on the pastry sticky edges of the tart (make sure not to touch the caramel with your fingers as you will burn yourself)
- Serve with some crème fraiche and a final turn of the pepper mill on no 2 setting.
