Ingredients
For the bottom layer:
135 g flour
60 g butter in small pieces
30 g sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp water
a pinch of salt
For the pistachio filling:
50 g almond flour
25 g ground pistachios
25 g coarsely chopped pistachios
60 g cane sugar
1 egg
25 g melted butter
a pinch of salt
For the rhubarb:
750 g rhubarb stalks
2 dl sweet white wine
100 g sugar
a few drops of rose water
A handful of pistachios for decoration
For the bottom layer:
Beat sugar with egg yolk and add water. Sieve the flour and rub butter into it using your hands to make shortcrust pastry. Add the egg-sugar mixture, knead into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Let it rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Grease a rectangular baking tin. Roll out the dough and put it in the baking tin.
Make the pistachio filling:
Mix all ingredients together and place it on the bottom of the baking tin.
Make the rhubarb:
Wash the rhubarb stalks and cut them to the size of the baking tin. Take a deep saucepan and bring wine with sugar and rose water to boil. Poach the rhubarb for about 3 minutes (depending on the thickness of the stems). Take the rhubarb out and place it over the filling.
Put the cake in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
Let the wine reduce further to a syrup.
Remove the cake from the oven and brush with the syrup.
Let it cool and serve with chopped pistachio nuts and some rose petals.
For the bottom layer: beat sugar with egg yolk and add water.
Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the chicken on all sides.
Heat the water with sugar until the sugar is well dissolved.
Put some rose petals in a glass of cold dry white wine or prosecco, let it sit for couple of minutes before serving.
To dry your own rose petals at home, all you need are freshly picked rose petals, washed and then carefully dried of all remaining water.
