Towards the end of the season, we use the copious amounts of basil on our balcony to make lots of pesto. We give a few jars away to close friends and freeze some for ourselves so that we can make this delicious basil tart on a cold day. It's a real treat from mum's recipe treasure trove that reminds us of summer. We like to serve this tart fresh from the oven as a starter with a large crisp salad.

Pastry dough

Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and rub together using your hands to form an even, crumbly mixture. Add the egg, mix quickly to form a soft dough – do not knead. Flatten the dough, cover and chill for approx. 30 mins. Roll the dough into a circle (approx. 30 cm in diameter) between two sheets of baking paper. Remove the upper sheet, place the dough and baking paper in the tart tin. Prick the base firmly with a fork, cover with the other sheet of baking paper and weigh down with dried pulses.

To blind bake

Pesto

In a food processor, puree the basil with all the other ingredients up to and including the oil, season with salt. Spread the pesto over the tart base.
