Bitter Orange Blueberry Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix flour, butter, and powdered sugar together until a dough forms. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, toss blueberries with cornstarch and place in a saucepan over low heat. Add sugar and lemon extract. Simmer, stirring gently to avoid crushing the berries, until sugar dissolves and filling thickens, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Pour blueberry filling over the cooled crust. Let cool before slicing.

Steps:

• Make filling a couple of days in advance if time allows. In a large bowl or jug mix juice with sugar, add zest, double cream and eggs and stir to combine. Cover and chill 2 or 3 days or leave for a few hours at room temperature.
• Make the pastry at the same time as you mix the juice and cream or a day or two later. Cream the butter and the sugar together, add yolks one at a time and stir in flour to form a soft dough.
• Form into a flat disc, wrap in clingwrap and rest in the fridge for half an hour. Preheat oven to 180degC (350degF) /gas mark 4 and put in a baking sheet (cook tart on this).
• Roll out pastry to fit a 24cm x 6cm (approx 9 1/2" x 2 1/2") fluted flan tin, pushing gently down so it lies flat and leaving a little overhanging. Put back in the fridge to rest again for a further 20 minutes.
• Roll a rolling pin over the top of the flan case to cut off excess pastry neatly. Line the tin with foil or crumpled baking parchment paper and fill with baking beans. Put the tin in the oven for 15 minutes, then remove beans and foil and give it another 5-10 minutes, until bottom has dried out. Transfer to a wire rack to cool a little and turn oven down to 170degC (325degF) /gas mark 3.
• Strain the liquid mixture into the pastry case to remove the zest, put back on the sheet in the oven and cook for 45 minutes. Nigella suggests that sieving (straining) the liquid into a jug and pouring from this into the pastry case already in the oven with the rack pulled out.
• When the tart is cooked and firm on top but with a hint of wobble underneath, remove to a wire rack and let cool. Unmould and transfer to the serving plate.
• To make the glazed blueberry topping, combine the arrowroot and sugar in a small saucepan, then stir in the juice and the water. Put the pan on the heat and bring to the boil, stirring all the time; it should turn clear pretty soon. Take it off the heat and add the blueberries, then spoon the glossy berries over the tart. leave to set for about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, honey, lemon zest and juice, and cardamom and bring to a boil. Let the mixture bubble for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula and swirling the pan around. Once it is thick and syrupy and the blueberries have broken down, remove from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the labneh with half of the blueberry syrup. Fold together until combined but still a little streaky.
• Spread the labneh mixture evenly in the oat tart shell, then drizzle on remaining syrup and swirl. Top with chopped toasted cashews, fresh blueberries and a drizzle of honey. Allow the tart to set in the refrigerator overnight or at least 4 hours. Remove the crust from the pan by pressing up the bottom, then transfer to a cutting board. Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
• Toast the oats in a medium, non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the oats are light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the toasted oats to a food processor along with the cashews, hemp seeds, brown sugar and salt and blend until very fine, like the consistency of fine breadcrumbs. Add the coconut oil, honey, and vanilla and blend until combined and the mixture starts to form a dough. It'll still look crumbly in the food processor but if you squeeze some in your hand it should stick together. Press into a 14" x 4.5" rectangular fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, spreading it out firmly and evenly. Refrigerate until firm and cold to the touch, at least 1 hour.
• In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, salt and lemon juice until fully incorporated.
• Line a strainer or colander with 2 or 3 layers of cheesecloth and place over a bowl or other receptacle that can catch the liquid.
• Transfer yogurt mixture to the strainer and twist up the ends of the cheesecloth. Place another bowl on top to weigh down the mixture and then refrigerate overnight, allowing the liquid to drain.
