90 minutes
Rhubarb and almond pie is a harmony of flavors where the tart freshness of rhubarb combines with the soft nutty note of almond. This dessert features an authorial execution, transforming traditional ingredients into an exquisite treat. The crunchy shortcrust pastry holds a delicate creamy-almond filling soaked with thin strips of rhubarb that add a tangy zest. Historically, rhubarb has been used in European cuisine by chefs, while almond is an important element of Mediterranean cuisine, uniting two gastronomic worlds. This pie is served chilled and pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream, making it a refined decoration for any tea party or festive table.
