Ingredients
Scale
1 sheet thawed puff pastry
7 oz almond paste, grated
2 tablespoons softened butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
Stalks of fresh rhubarb
1 egg white for brushing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together the grated almond paste, butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth
Add the flour and mix until smooth and set aside
On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry dough until it is big enough to fit an 11 x 7 inch tart pan
Roll out the puff pastry over the pan, press it down into the bottom and sides, and cut off the excess dough on the sides. Use a fork and prick the bottom and sides of the puff pastry
Put the almond paste mixture at the bottom of the pan and spread evenly
Depending on the design you want to make on the top cut your rhubarb whatever size you like. I made a herringbone patter (watch video to see how to do it) so I cut the rhubarb in one inch pieces. You can get as creative as you want with the pattern or just do long simple strips of rhubarb
Brush the puff pastry and top of the rhubarb with the egg and put into the preheated oven
Let it bake for 30 minutes
Once cooked let it cool slightly before cutting and serving! You can top it with fresh whipped cream, ice cream, or nothing at all. Enjoy!
