PINE NUT TART

Steps:

• For the tart crust: Add the flour, granulated sugar and salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined. Add the butter and pulse until small pebbles form. With the machine running, add the egg yolk, vanilla and water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Remove to a piece of plastic wrap and press together into a dough ball. Flatten into a disk then refrigerate, at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the honey and pine nut filling: Add the honey, brown sugar and salt to a medium saucepan over medium heat and whisk to combine. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the butter and whisk until melted. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and allow to cool for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a 13-inch circle and place in an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill 30 more minutes.
• Prick the bottom of the tart with a fork. Place a piece of parchment in the center of the tart and fill all the way to the top with dried beans. Bake until the crust is set but still slightly pale, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then remove the parchment and beans.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, whisk the heavy cream, egg yolk, lemon zest and juice into the cooled filling. Place the cooled tart shell on a rimmed baking sheet and scatter the pine nuts inside the shell. Evenly pour the filling into the tart crust and bake until the top is golden brown, the filling is set and the very center still has a slight jiggle, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Cool completely before slicing, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Serve dusted with confectioners' sugar.

GOAT'S CHEESE, RED ONION & PINE NUT FREEZER TARTLETS

Steps:

• Tip the onions into a large pan with 250ml water and a large pinch of salt. Cook over a high heat for 20 mins until the water has evaporated. Pour in the oil, turn down the heat to medium and cook for 20 mins more until the onions have caramelised. Pour in the vinegar and sugar and cook until the onions are jammy. Leave to cool.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured work surface to a 30 x 40cm rectangle. Cut out six circles large enough to line six 10cm loose- bottomed fluted tart tins. Line each with a square of baking parchment, fill with baking beans and bake for 8 mins. Remove the parchment and beans and baking for 7 mins more. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
• Remove the tart cases from the tins. Spread a layer of the onion jam in the bottom of each, top with the goat's cheese slices, then sprinkle with pine nuts. Wrap each tart well and freeze for up to three months.
• Heat the oven to 160C/ 140C fan/ gas 3, unwrap the tarts and bake from frozen on a baking tray for 15-20 mins until piping hot and the cheese has melted. Sprinkle with basil before serving.

CARAMELISED RED ONION, PROSCIUTTO & MUSHROOM TART

Steps:

• Heat 3 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the onion and gently cook until softened, about 10 mins. Add the thyme, vinegar, salt and pepper and cook for 5 mins more, stirring occasionally to stop them burning. Set aside to cool.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll out the pastry, trim to a 28cm round, then put on a non-stick baking sheet (or one lined with baking paper). Fork the pastry all over.
• Spread the onion over the pastry to within 3cm of the edge. Tear the prosciutto into strips and arrange over the onion in a rippled effect. Arrange the mushrooms on top and brush them with the reserved oil. Slice or crumble the cheese and arrange over the tart. Season with salt and pepper.
• Push the side of the tart up with your fingers to form an edge. Bake for 30-35 mins until the pastry edges have puffed up and the mushrooms are tender. Cool for a few minutes, then scatter with rocket just before serving.
