Clemmie Donohoe’s Fig (or Plum) Frangipane Tart.

Head to @ClemmieDonohoe on Instagram HERE to her highlights of the Fig Tart for recipe tips.

Ingredients

Careme Sweet Shortcrust pastry

Plums or figs

200g nuts (Clem used 160g pistachios, 40g blanched almonds)

2 eggs

175g unsalted butter

150g sugar (Clem used brown and caster)

Method

Grease the base of a tart or pie tin and roll out enough pastry to cover the base and the sides then blind bake the shell until nice and golden.

For the frangipane filling. Add your nuts to a food processor and pulse until you have a fine crumb (not too fine as some texture is nice). In a separate bowl cream your butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add two egg yolks and one egg white and beat. Add your nuts and fold them through until nicely incorporated.

Slice your plums or figs. Add your filling to your tart shell and smooth over. Arrange your fruit artfully.

Bake at 180 degrees C for 30-40minutes (depending on your oven). You’ll know when it’s ready when the filling is set and nice and golden. Dust with icing sugar to serve. Serve with freshly whipped cream, ice cream or yoghurt.

Marinated zucchini with walnuts and stracciatella (recipe HERE) from A Year of Simple Family Food by Julia Busuttil Nishimura

1. In a bowl, combine the zucchini with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and a good pinch of salt.

2. Heat a large frying pan over a high heat and cook the zucchini for 5–7 minutes until tender and golden on all sides. Return to the bowl, add the marjoram or oregano and pour over the vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to combine and set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.

3. Spoon the stracciatella onto a small serving plate. Top with the zucchini and scatter over the walnuts and mint leaves. Drizzle over a little extra olive oil and serve with crusty bread to mop up all the juices, if desired.
