Method
- PASTRY: Place the flour and butter in a food processor and pulse to combine.
- Add the egg yolk and water, and again pulse to combine all ingredients, until well-combined and looking like pastry dough.
- DO NOT OVERWORK THE DOUGH.
- Roll the pastry into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before rolling it out.
- Lightly flour the benchtop and the rolling pin, and roll out the pastry evenly so that it is about 5mm thick.
- Dust lightly with extra flour as needed.
- Using a 14cm-diameter fluted biscuit cutter, cut out four rounds to line 4 x 10cm diameter individual greased tartlet tins with removable bases.
- ALTERNATIVE: the pastry can also be used to line a 26cm-diameter tart tin.
- With your thumb and forefinger, carefully push the pastry into the angles of each mould.
- Rest the pastry moulds in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- Line the tart cases with baking paper and cover with pastry weights.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the weights and paper.
- Return the tartlets to the oven and bake for a further 5 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Set aside.
- FILLING: Bring 1 litre of water to the boil and add the rice and sea salt.
- Return to the boil and cook for 8 minutes.
- Drain, then transfer to a large bowl and cool.
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C.
- Place the ricotta in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Add eggs, milk, butter, nutmeg, salt and pepper, and process until well combined.
- Stir the ricotta mixture into the rice with the parmesan and mandarin zest.
- Pour into the pastry shells and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
- SALAD: Place all the ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine.
- SERVING: Place each tart on a plate and serve with the salad on the side.
- NOTE: Vincotto alllimone (lemon vincotto) is a vinegar/wine condiment that enhances the flavor of meats, fish, fruit salad, and ice cream.
- It has an intense, syrup-concentrated grape flavour, and is available from specialty food stores.
