How it's done
Pastry dough
Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. Add the butter and rub together using your hands to form an even, crumbly mixture. Pour in the water and mix quickly to form a soft dough; do not knead. Flatten the dough, cover and chill for approx. 30 mins.
Tart
Roll out the dough into a circle (approx. 26 cm in diameter) between two sheets of baking paper, transfer to a baking tin along with the bottom sheet of baking paper. Prick the base firmly with a fork.
Bake
Approx. 15 mins. on the bottom shelf of an oven preheated to 200 °C. Remove, allow to cool slightly in the tin.
Caramel
Bring the sugar and water to the boil in a wide pan without stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer, swirling the pan occasionally until a light brown caramel has formed. Remove the pan from the heat, add the vegan butter, melt, mix, pour in the vegan cream, simmer and stir over a low heat until the caramel has dissolved, reduce to a thick consistency for approx. 5 mins. Add the nuts, mix, season. Spread the mixture over the tart base, leave to cool. Cover and leave to set in the fridge for approx. 2 hrs.
