On the fruit side, we will need about XNUMX/XNUMX stems of rhubarb(it depends on their thickness). Mine were red on the outside, it depends on their variety. With the green, it works very well too!

How to prepare this strawberry rhubarb almond tart?

I used a 26cm mold in diameter for this strawberry rhubarb pie. Little tip: so that the edges of the dough do not slip out of the mold when baking, I place it in the freezer for 5 minutes before baking. The first cooking is done blank (the second will be done with the garnish).

Then we take care of the fruit : the rhubarb is washed and cut into sections (3cm). If they are too thick, do not hesitate to cut lengthwise. They are then mixed with a little sugar and lemon juice so that they soften easily during cooking. We also cut the strawberries in half.

To realize almond cream, we whip butter and sugar then we add the eggs and lastly the mixture of cornstarch and ground almonds. Once the pie shell is cold (otherwise it would melt the filling) we spread it on the pie. Then all you have to do is place the fruit on the filling, pressing them lightly : be generous with fruit. Add the slivered almonds halfway through cooking to prevent them from browning too much.
