Ingredients:
For the Tartare:
-
400g fresh strawberries, hulled and finely diced
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
Juice of 1 lemon
-
50g shelled pistachios, crushed
For the Shortbread Cookies:
-
100g butter
-
100g sugar
-
1 egg
-
200g flour
-
1/2 packet baking powder
-
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Tartare:
In a mixing bowl, combine the finely diced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Gently mix to coat the strawberries evenly, then set aside for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
2. Prepare the Shortbread Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, pressing each slightly with a fork to flatten them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool completely.
3. Assemble the Tartare:
- Once the shortbread cookies are cooled, break them into small crumbs.
- To assemble, layer the strawberry mixture in serving bowls or glasses, sprinkle crushed pistachios on top, and then add the shortbread cookie crumbs for crunch.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Garnish the tartare with additional crushed pistachios and serve immediately, or refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving for a chilled treat.
Enjoy this refreshing and indulgent dessert that's perfect for any occasion!
