I love the shades of orange and red that the Autumn season offers us. It’s such an underrated season, but it is quite romantic and fascinating to me.
\nAs leaves turn from the summer green to the darker shades of Yellow, and on to the most vivid reds, fruits and vegetables too brighten up with the same colourings. Pumpkins, persimmons, pomegranates… a feast of colopurs!
\nAltough this year is offering us an unusually lung summer, I’d love to celebrate the beginning of the autumn season with a delicate and savoury tart, all in the colors of the season.
\nSo here it is my persimmons and almonds tart, without any shade of butter in it.
\nIt is so easy to take, and success is guaranteed! In the picture you’ll see a rectangular baking tray (a new entry in my kitchen!) but you can use anything you like. The ingredients of this shortcrust patry is enough for a round tray of 26 cm diameter:
\n1 egg
\n70 gr sugar
\n60 gr vegetable oil (I used sunflower oil, but any will do)
\n220 gr flour
\nhalf teaspoon of baking powder
\nPut all ingredients together in a bowl and mix them with your hands (it’s creepy at the beginning, but it’s going to be fun!). as soon as the dole starts getting more solid, move it to a pasdry board and knead it until the dole gets solid.
\nRoll the dough out in the size of your baking tray, and then but the dough in the tray, and perforate the bottom with a fork. You can move on to the filling, and for this you need:
\n2\/3 persimmons (ripe)
\nthe zest of a lemon (organic)
\n1 pinch of cinammon
\nFlaked almonds
\nIcing sugar to decorate
\nPeel the persimmons and then squash them into a bowl with the help of a fork.Then add the cinammon and the lemon zest, and mix it all together.
\nPut the mixture onto the crust and level it.
\nSprinkle with almons and then put it into the oven at 180 degrees foir average 25 mninutes (check your oven Always, any one has a different behavour).
\nOne it cooled down, put some icing sugar on it and taste it with a good cup of tea. It is delicious!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
