Making dough for the mushroom tart

Step 1

Start with making the dough. It will take around 40 mins. Cut the cold butter into 1cm cubes.
Mix the flour and salt, add the cold cubes of butter and the egg and crumble and rub the dough between your hands. Then add 2-3 tablespoons of cold water and knead everything into a smooth shortcrust dough. Wrap the dough with cling film and keep it cold for 30 mins in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Meanwhile, chop the shallots and garlic into small pieces and set aside. Divide the large mushrooms and leave the slightly smaller ones whole. Using a variety of mushrooms has real value for the presentation. Start with slowly heating the iron cast on a medium heat.

Step 3

Melt some butter and vegetable oil in a frying pan. The vegetable oil helps prevent the butter from burning. Now add the shallots and garlic. Let it turn golden brown for 3-4 minutes. Now you can also add the mushrooms to the pan. It is important not to stir too much. Let the mushrooms brown slowly. Toss them once and take them off the heat.

Placing the dough in a tin

Step 4

Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface. Now place the dough in a non-stick baking tin (23cm) and grease it with a little butter beforehand. Press the edges well and prick the dough all over with a fork. Now put baking paper on the dough and add the peas or lentils. Pre-bake the dough for about 15 minutes at 170° C CircoTherm® on level 2.
