This Caraway Blood Orange Tart is easy but yields impressive results. Indulge yourself with this gorgeous dessert of caramelized oranges nestled in a flaky, buttery caraway pastry. The hint of spice from caraway seeds pairs beautifully with end-of-season blood oranges. The best part? No matter how this tart looks, it will taste delicious. It is the imperfectly perfect dessert you can’t mess up.
Make the pastry dough. You can mix everything in one bowl. Start with the dry ingredients plus finely ground caraway seeds. Next, use your fingertips to rub the cold butter and lard into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form. Finally, add the vinegar and iced water and bring the dough together. Chill the dough until firm. Meanwhile, peel and slice the oranges. Be sure to remove all the white pith beneath the skin of the oranges, as it tastes bitter. Toss the oranges with sugar. To assemble the tart, roll out the pastry dough on a sheet of non-stick parchment paper. Sprinkle the almond meal over the pastry dough and top with the orange slices. Fold the edges over the oranges and brush the pastry with egg wash. Bake until golden brown. Slice and enjoy!
To make the Caraway Blood Orange Tart, you will need the following ingredients:
Using a mortar and pestle, grind ¼ teaspoon caraway seeds until fine.
In a large bowl, add the caraway, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, and ¼ cup caster sugar and mix to combine.
Add 60 grams cold butter and 40 grams cold lard. Use your fingers to rub the butter and lard into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar and ¼ cup iced water and use a butter knife to bring the mixture together to form a rough dough.
Turn out the dough and lightly knead to bring it together. Shape the dough into a disc. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
Roll out the pastry dough on a sheet of non-stick parchment paper to about 32cm/12 inches in diameter and 3mm/1/16-inch thick.
Sprinkle ¼ cup almond meal over the pastry, leaving a 5cm/2-inch border.
In a large bowl, place the thinly sliced oranges and ½ cup sugar and toss to combine.
Top the pastry dough with orange slices.
Fold the edges over the oranges.
Brush the pastry with the egg wash.
Gently transfer the tart to a large baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
