RECIPE - Thought I’d include the recipe for my strawberry cashew cream tartlets from yesterday’s lunch; the flakey pastry with a creamy lemon filling and fresh strawberries is gluten free and plant-based. This tart is adaptable for any season by choosing fresh seasonal fruit: strawberries for spring, peaches for summer, figs for autumn, and persimmons for winter. Strawberry cashew cream tart For the pie crust: 11/2 cups fine brown rice flour 1/2 cup GF plain flour 1/2 cup tapioca flour 1/2 tsp of sea salt 1 cup non-dairy butter, chilled 5-7 tbsp chilled water Preheat the oven to fan 180’C. Pour the flours and salt into a bowl. Rub the butter into the flour with fingertips. Using a blunt knife, gradually mix in chilled water to make a pastry, use enough water so the dough comes together; you may not need all of it. Bring the pastry together and lightly knead. Wrap in cling wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Roll out the pastry, making sure to dust the bench surface and rolling pin with flour, rolling and turning until it’s 3mm thick, place each tartlet pan on the pastry, cut a circle and trim the edges with a knife and prick the base with a fork. Bake for 15-18 minutes until lightly golden. For the cashew cream: 200g /11/2 cups raw cashews, soak in hot water for 20 minutes 120ml /1/2 cup coconut milk, top thick part only 60ml /1/4 cup coconut oil 1 lemon, zest and juice, optional or 1 tsp vanilla extract 60ml /1/4 cup maple syrup Add the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Chill in the fridge overnight or for 4 hours to thicken. 350g fresh strawberries Before serving, place the tartlets onto a plate stand, spoon the cashew cream onto each tartlet and swirl with the back of a spoon. Add slices of strawberries and serve.
