Jamie Oliver's Orange Curd Tart

Really tasty recipe by Jamie Oliver. The recipe uses a lot of eggs though, so it's a bit indulgent. I've altered it slightly, just to fit round what ingredients I had.

6 egg yolks

200g caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

Zest and juice of 3 oranges

Lime juice (to make the orange juice up to 230ml)

4 eggs

250g butter

 

For the pastry,

100g icing sugar

250g plain flour

125g butter

Zest of 1 orange

1 egg

Splash of milk

 

Pulse the pastry ingredients in a food processor until it forms a dough and chill. Preheat oven to 180C/gas 4.

In a saucepan on a low heat, whisk all the filling ingredients apart from the butter. Keep whisking for 5 minutes until it starts to thicken. Add the butter in chunks and keep whisking for about 15 minutes until thick.

Roll out the dough and line the pastry into a 25cm tart tin. Bake blind for 15 minutes, then remove the baking beans and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

Fill the tart when still warm.

 

Definitely worth making.
