Description

A deliciously healthy fig tart recipe with a melt in the mouth, light gluten-free pastry. Naturally sweetened.

Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 250g (9 oz) figs, plus water to soak
  • 1 heaped teaspoon of orange or lemon rind
  • 75g (2½ oz) rice flour (brown or white)
  • 75g (2½ oz) tapioca flour (also known as tapioca starch)
  • 1 heaped tablespoon ground flax seed
  • 3 tablespoons brown rice syrup
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • Extra dash of oil (to oil the tin)
  • Extra rice flour (for rolling on)

Directions

  • Soak figs in water overnight (or at least 3 hours) to soften for blending.
  • Finely grate orange peel (or lemon rind).
  • Drain figs and blend together with the grated orange peel. Put this to the side whilst you prepare the gluten-free pastry.
  • Briefly mix rice flour, tapioca flour, ground flax seed together in a mixing bowl.
  • Mix in coconut oil, rice syrup and vanilla essence with a spoon. Once it has started to combine together nicely, use the back of your spoon to press it all together until you have one large ball of pastry.
  • Lightly oil the cake tin.
  • Take about half of the pastry ball/lump, place it in the middle of the tin and press downward in all directions until it is evenly spread all over. This should create a layer about ½ cm (¼ inch) thick. If its a bit too thick in one place and lacking in another, then just press & push (a bit like being a pastry massage therapist) until its sort of even. Doesnt have to be perfect.
  • Create a fig layer on top of the pastry by spreading your blended fig mixture evenly all over. Spoon it on and then spread with a blunt knife.
  • Take the remaining pastry from the mixing bowl and roll into a thick cylindrical shape (doesnt have to be perfect). Lightly flour your kitchen counter top and begin to roll until the pastry is approximately ¼ cm (⅛ inch) thick. This can be a little fiddly, but gets much easier with practice.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut your rolled pastry into strips of approximately 1cm width (½ inch) wide. Carefully lift strips (using a cake slice/spGluten Free Vegan Fig Tartatula if you have one) and form a lattice pattern on top. There is a bit of an art to creating a lattice pattern and, honestly, the best way to learn is just to make it up as you go a long. If you dont want to create a lattice then use your creativity to do what ever you feel like on top instead.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven at gas mark 6 (200˚C/400˚F) for approximately 25 minutes or until the pastry begins to tan on top.
  • Serve warm, right away or allow to cool. They should keep nicely for a few days in a sealed container.
