Simple Lemon Tart Fool

Ingredients

  • 3 Amalfi Lemons, zest grated and juiced
  • 3 Eggs
  • 150gr Unsalted Butter
  • 160gr Sugar
  • 250gr Sables de Nancy
  • 200ml Fresh Double Cream

    Method

    Pre-heat the oven to 170º C.

    Fill a medium saucepan one-third full with water and bring to a simmer. Put the zest and lemon juice in a medium bowl and whisk in the eggs. Add 120gr of sugar and butter and place the bowl over the simmering water; the water must not touch the bottom of the bowl. Cook, whisking constantly, until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the pan of hot water and allow the mixture to cool for 15 minutes.

    Place the mixture in an ovenproof dish and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the centre is set.

    Whip the cream with the remaining sugar – add the sugar half-way through the process. You are looking for a dense but not thick consistency where the cream will hold its peaks.

    Break the sables into pieces, add the whipped cream and lemon curd. Fold with a spatula or spoon and place the mixture in a serving dish.

    You can sprinkle with icing sugar, or add a fruit coulis to serve.

    Lamb & Apricot Tagine

    Ingredients

    Lamb and Apricot Tagine
    Lamb and Apricot Tagine
  • Pinch Saffron and salt
  • 12 Apricots
  • 4tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 30gr Almonds, lightly toasted to serve
  • 30gr Coriander - chopped

    Method

    Place the diced lamb in a large bowl and add the oil along with all the spices including the saffron and salt. Heat a large casserole over high heat, once hot add the meat ensuring you leave as little oil and spices in the bowl as possible (a spatula will do the trick). Cook on high heat, stirring regularly until the meat is brown on all sides. Now add water until all the meat is covered, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 45-60 minutes until the meat is very tender at which point you can add the apricots which you will have cut in half and stoned. Raise the heat a little, you want a vigorous simmer but no boil, and cook until the liquid is reduced by a third.

    Serve with hot cous cous and use the almonds and coriander to add a finishing touch.
