RUSTIC PEAR TART

Provided by Ellie Krieger

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings, serving size 1 wedge

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup whole-grain pastry flour or regular whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons lowfat buttermilk
3 tablespoons ice water
3 medium pears
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon boiling water

Steps:

  • To prepare the crust, in a medium bowl whisk together the whole-wheat pastry flour, all- purpose flour, granulated sugar and salt. Add the butter and using two knives or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until you get a pebbly, course texture. In a small bowl combine the buttermilk and ice water. Using a fork, gradually mix the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Pat the dough into a 4-inch round and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and prepare the filling. Peel the pears, core them and cut into 1/4-inch slices. In a large bowl toss the pear slices with the lemon juice. Sprinkle in the cornstarch, brown sugar and cinnamon and toss until the pears are evenly coated. Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a large circle about nine inches in diameter. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and draping the dough over the rolling pin, transfer to the prepared baking sheet. If the dough breaks at all patch it up with your fingers.
  • Arrange the pears in a mound in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch boarder. Fold the border over the filling. It will only cover the pears partially and does not need to be even.
  • Bake the tart for 15 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, keeping the tart in the oven all the while, and bake for another 40 minutes, until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown.
  • In a small bowl stir together the honey and boiling water to make a glaze. When the tart is done remove it from the oven and brush the honey glaze all over the top of the fruit and crust. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Cut into 6 wedges and serve warm or a room temperature.

BOURBON-PEAR RUSTIC TART



Bourbon-Pear Rustic Tart image

If you're intimidated by baking a pie, then this is the recipe for you. We love anything with the word "rustic" in it because "rustic" is basically a kitschy way of saying "messy." The crust is crazy-simple, and the bourbon-soaked pears add a smoky, oaky element to this "rustic" tart. Bring this to a Fall gathering and don't tell anyone how rustically easy this recipe was.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup bourbon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 to 4 firm Bosc pears, cored and sliced into 1/8-inch-thick slices
Topping:
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 sheet store-bought puff pastry
All-purpose flour, for rolling
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • For the bourbon pears: Mix the bourbon and vanilla extract in a medium bowl and add the pear slices, tossing gently to coat. Set aside to soak for about 20 minutes while you prepare the topping and crust.
  • For the topping: Combine the brown sugar, butter and flour into small lumps and set aside.
  • For the crust: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a 14-inch square. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet (it's ok if the dough hangs over the edges).
  • Drain the pears (save the bourbon mixture for a cocktail!) and toss with the granulated sugar. Arrange the pear slices overlapping in rows on the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the whole tart. Fold and pleat the edges of the dough over, so it just overlaps the pears. Brush the puff pastry with the melted butter and sprinkle the topping over the pears.
  • Bake until the pastry is a golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. We're drooling while writing this so you must be too!

PEAR, WALNUT & BLUE CHEESE TART



Pear, walnut & blue cheese tart image

Let seasonal pears take centre stage in this marvellous walnut and blue cheese tart. It makes an ideal starter, lunch or alternative cheese course

Provided by Rosie Birkett

Categories     Dinner, Lunch

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

50g walnut halves
150g plain flour
80g cold unsalted butter, chopped
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil, plus an extra 1-2 tsp
4 shallots, sliced into half-moons
small bunch of sage, finely chopped
200g chard, stalks finely chopped and leaves roughly chopped
2 pears, halved, cored and sliced
3 large eggs
grating of nutmeg
150g crème fraîche
150g gorgonzola dolce or vegetarian alternative, torn into bite-sized pieces
50g walnut halves

Steps:

  • To make the pastry, blitz the walnuts in a food processor until they resemble breadcrumbs. Add the flour and a large pinch of salt. Pulse briefly to combine, then add the butter and pulse until it resembles large crumbs. Add the egg yolk and pulse until the dough comes together (add 1 tbsp cold water if it seems dry). Squash the dough into a disc, then wrap in baking parchment and chill for at least 30 mins.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 5. Heat the butter and 1 tbsp oil in a heavy-based frying pan or skillet over a medium heat, and cook the shallots, sage and chard stalks for 5-8 mins until soft and starting to caramelise. Add the chard leaves and continue to cook until wilted, then remove from the heat.
  • Put the chilled pastry between two sheets of baking parchment and roll out to the thickness of a £1 coin. Use it to line a 20cm tart tin, then chill for 30 mins until firm. Toss the pear slices in 1-2 tsp oil on a baking sheet.
  • Scrunch up a sheet of baking parchment and use it to line the pastry case, then fill with baking beans. Bake for 15 mins, alongside the pears. Remove both from the oven. Remove the parchment and beans from the pastry case, then bake for 8-10 mins more, until the bottom is golden and crisp.
  • Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl, then season with some nutmeg and whisk in the crème fraîche. Stir in the cheese. Pour half the mixture into the tart case, then layer in two-thirds of the chard mixture. Arrange the roasted pear slices and remaining chard mix on top, then pour over the remaining custard. Dot over the walnut halves, then bake for 28-30 mins, or until golden and cooked through. Leave to cool for 20 mins, then slice and serve.

RUSTIC PEAR TART RECIPE BY TASTY



Rustic Pear Tart Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all purpose flour, powdered sugar, salt, butter, egg, butter, granulated sugar, salt, eggs, almond flour, all-purpose flour, pears, butter, granulated sugar

Provided by Tasty

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 pinch salt
1 ¾ sticks butter, cubed and chilled
1 egg
¾ cup butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 ¼ cups almond flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 pears, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Add the flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt to the bowl of a food processor. Add the cold butter cubes and begin pulsing, 10-15 times, until the butter is fully incorporated into the flour.
  • Add the egg to the food processor and pulse just until a dough begins to form. Place the dough onto a work surface and knead it lightly, just to bring it together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Make the filling: Add the softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt to a medium bowl. Combine the mixture with an electric hand mixer, gradually increasing the speed from low to medium-high. Beat until fluffy, then add each egg, 1 at a time, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl between each addition. Lastly, add the almond flour and all-purpose flour and combine on low speed until homogenous.
  • Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Assemble the tart: Remove the tart crust from fridge and gently roll out to roughly a 12-inch round on a floured work surface. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan, then top with the filling, spreading it as evenly as possible.
  • Arrange the pears in a spiral pattern on top of the filling. Brush the entire surface with the melted butter, then sprinkle the granulated sugar over the pears.
  • Bake, rotating halfway through, for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the center of the tart is no longer jiggly. Let cool completely before slicing.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When you're assembling the tart, make sure to press the dough firmly into the tart pan. This will help prevent the crust from cracking.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie pan. Just be sure to trim the excess dough around the edges.
  • Bake the tart in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust is cooked through.
  • Let the tart cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the filling set.
