This recipe dates from 1997... Art of the Tart Review: RICHARD CORRIGAN'S FIG TART Serves 6 For the frangipan, combine all ingredients until smooth. For the tart: roll out a 9cm (4in) circle of puff pastry. Spread with the frangipan leaving approximately 2cm (1in) around the edges. Thinly slice the figs and arrange on top. Egg-wash the edge of the pastry. Brush the top of the tart with melted butter and bake in the oven at 400F/200C/Gas 6 for 12 to 15 minutes. For the tobacco syrup: make a syrup by bringing sugar and water to the boil. Turn off, infuse the tobacco in this liquid for 10 seconds, then strain. Dissolve a pinch of cornflour in a teaspoon of cold water and stir into syrup mixture. When the tart is cooked, drizzle the strained tobacco syrup over and around the tart. Sprinkle with a little fresh tobacco, dry heated in a pan to reduce moisture. |
