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!
