Choc-Nougat Tart.
1 2/3 cups Organic Fine Wholemeal Flour 1/2 cup Ground Pecans 3 tabs Muscovado Sugar 180g Cold Butter, diced, or oil if preferred 1 Free range Egg
Filling
100g Dark Chocolate, chopped 1/3 cup Slivered almonds 60g Nougat, chopped 1/2 cup Fruit Mince 1/4 cup Glaced cherries chopped 2 tablespoon Rum.
Grease a loose-bottomed flan tin. Put flour, pecans, muscovado sugar and butter/oil in a food processor until crumbly, add free range egg and continue to process until pastry just sticks together. Turn into a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Cut off 1/3 of the pastry and wrap in baking paper and refridgerate. Roll the other 2/3 of the pastry out and blind bake (with beans on baking paper in the pastry shell)
To make the filling
Combine the filling ingredients in a bowl and spoon into the cooled pastry shell. Grate the remaining pastry on the coarse side of the grater and pile on top of the filling. Bake for 30/35 minutes or until the pastry is crisp. Cool the tart completely, to serve, dust liberally with icing sugar.
