Combining different types of dough with various fillings, the tart can be sweet or savory, and the ingredients used often reflect the season and local culture. Rhubarb, a herbaceous plant with a distinctive and slightly tart taste, is often used in desserts, providing a note of freshness and balancing the sweetness of seasonal fruits like strawberries. Ingredients *For the dough:* - 200 g flour (may need an additional 3 tablespoons, depending on humidity) - 100 g margarine (or butter for a richer taste) - 100 g powdered sugar - 1 egg - 1 packet of vanilla sugar - A pinch of salt *For the filling:* - 3 stalks of rhubarb (approximately 300 g) - 250 g fresh or frozen strawberries - 125 g sugar - 2 tablespoons cornstarch - 1 egg - A pinch of salt - 1 packet of vanilla sugar *For the crispy topping:* - 25 g sugar - 25 g brown sugar - 40 g flour - 25 g margarine Detailed instructions 1. Preparing the dough In a large bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar, mixing well. Create a mound in the center of the flour and add the egg, vanilla sugar, cubed margarine, and a pinch of salt. Use your fingers to quickly knead the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous dough. It is important not to knead too much, as the dough will become tough. 2. Chilling the dough Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This step is essential to achieve a crispy and manageable crust. 3. Preparing the filling Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Wash the rhubarb and cut it into thin slices, and halve or quarter the strawberries if they are very large. In another bowl, beat the egg with the sugar, vanilla sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Add the sliced rhubarb and strawberries to this mixture and gently mix to avoid crushing the fruits. 4. Preheating the oven Preheat the oven to 180°C. This is the optimal temperature for baking the tart, ensuring it will brown nicely. 5. Forming the tart Once the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Grease a tart pan with a little margarine to prevent sticking. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, so that you obtain a sheet suitable for covering the bottom and sides of the pan. Be careful with the thickness of the dough, which should be about 3-5 mm. 6. Baking the crust Place the dough in the pan and gently prick it with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges become golden and crispy. 7. Preparing the crispy topping Meanwhile, prepare the crispy topping. In a small bowl, combine the two types of sugar, flour, and cubed margarine. Mix with your fingers or a fork until you achieve a texture similar to breadcrumbs. 8. Assembling the tart Remove the crust from the oven and add the rhubarb and strawberry filling. Make sure the distribution is even. Sprinkle the crispy topping over the filling, covering it as evenly as possible. 9. Final baking Return the tart to the oven for another 30-40 minutes, until the crispy topping turns golden and the filling is well set. You will notice that as it bakes, the aroma will fill the entire kitchen, whetting your appetite. 10. Cooling and serving Once the tart is ready, let it cool slightly before cutting. It is delicious served warm but also at room temperature. You can serve it plain or with a scoop of sour cream or vanilla ice cream to perfectly complement the flavor combination. Useful tips - If you don't have fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb, but make sure to thaw and drain it well before adding it. - You can experiment with other fruits, such as blackberries or raspberries, to create interesting variations of this recipe. - Choose high-quality margarine or butter for a richer taste. - The tart can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but it is best consumed fresh.
