Strawberry Pistachio Tart
« on: January 23, 2013, 01:30:08 am »

Pastry – enough for 2 tart pastries. Perfect for any sweet pastry requirement.
 
100 g sugar
250 g butter, cut into chunks
350 g plain flour
 
1.      Grind the sugar 5 seconds/Speed 10.
2.      Add butter and melt 3 minutes/50ºC/Speed 2 or longer until melted.
3.      Add flour and mix Speed 6 until just clinging together – this will only take about 2 to 4 seconds! Divide in half (freeze one half for another time or use to make shortbread). Immediately press one half amount of pastry into a 28cm loose-bottomed tart tin – this is easiest to do when the pastry is still warm. Chill the pastry in the tin for ½ an hour – this will help to reduce/prevent shrinkage during baking. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 150ºC (without fan) until pale gold. Cool to room temperature.

PISTACHIO CUSTARD

- 250 g of Full Cream Milk
- 50  g of White Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 40 g corn flour
- 3 cardamom pods
- 8 pistachio nuts

Put the pistachio and cardamom  and the sugar in the mixing bowl. 20 Sec. Speed 7

Add the other ingredients. 7 Min. 90°C Speed 4

Cut strawberries in half top custard with strawberries make strawberry jelly with half the water cover strawberries with cooled jelly. Or sprinkle strawberries with sugar and leave over night drain juice and add gelatine.

I need to invite someone round so that I have an excuse to make this. It looks fantastic.

It really was so yum. When my daughter was in primary school she did a project on India and had to take a dessert I made a rice cream with Cardamom  and pistachio so I thought why not try it in custard in a tart with strawberries.  I travel for work and stay with friends every 3rd Tuesday and I take a dessert this one got the best vote with lemon meringue a very close second (my friend hubby favourite is my choc/vanilla slice). I love trying a new dessert recipe so often!!!!

You're lucky you have friends you can take a dessert to BB - I imagine they always look forward to these Tuesdays when you come armed with a different dessert for them to try.

This looks delicious. I was just wondering how much strawberries, jelly, and water - there seems to be some ingredients missing off the list yet mentioned in the method?

I came up with this recipe because I actually thought I was buying punnets   of strawberries that where marked down by $3 making them what I thought was 99c a punnets only to find I bought $18 worth of not very tasty strawberries so I cut them covered them in sugar and put in the fridge.  I used a cup of the strawberries juice heated and mixed in 2 table spoons of gelatine. If using jelly I would just use I cup of boiling water and a packet of strawberries jelly

Was probably 500 grams of strawberries. Follow  instructions on jelly packet and use half the water.
