Title: Rustic Blueberry Basil Tarts
Categories: Pastry, Fruits, Nuts, Herbs, Citrus
Yield: 12 Servings
1 c Rye flour
1 c All-purpose flour
1 tb Sugar
3/4 ts Salt
3/4 c Unsalted butter; cut up
1/2 c Ice water
1/3 c Sliced almonds; toasted
1/4 c Whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 c Sugar
4 c Fresh blueberries
3 tb Sugar
3 tb Fine snipped fresh basil
2 ts Lemon juice
1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
2 tb Sugar
1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
For rye dough, in a medium bowl stir together rye flour,
all-purpose flour, the 1 tablespoon sugar, and the salt.
Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until pieces are
pea size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the ice water over
part of the flour mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push
moistened pastry to side of bowl. Repeat moistening flour
mixture, using 1 tablespoon of the ice water at a time,
until all of the flour mixture is moistened. Gather flour
mixture into a ball, kneading gently until it holds
together. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill for 1 hour.
For filling, in a food processor combine sliced almonds,
whole wheat pastry flour, and the 1/4 cup sugar. Cover
and process until almonds are finely ground. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine blueberries, the 3 tablespoons
sugar, the basil, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
Divide pastry dough into four equal portions. On a piece
of lightly floured parchment paper, roll one of the dough
portions into a circle 8" in diameter. Slide parchment
paper with pastry circle onto a large baking sheet; set
aside. Repeat with the remaining three dough portions.
Sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of the ground almond mixture
onto the center of each pastry circle, leaving the outer
1 1/2" uncovered. Top each pastry circle with 1 cup of
the blueberry mixture. Fold uncovered pastry up and over
filling, pleating as necessary and using paper to lift
pastry border.
Lightly brush pastry top and sides with egg. In a small
bowl combine the 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon.
Sprinkle evenly over pastry and filling.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until pastry is golden brown
and filling is bubbly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
