Rustic Blueberry-Nectarine Crostata

Ingredients

  • Pastry:2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1-1/2 sticks (about 6 ounces) unsalted butter

  • 3-1/2 to 4 Tbs cold water

  • 6 Amaretti cookies, crushed

  • 1 egg yolk

  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

  • Filling:1 pint blueberries

  • 2 cups ripe nectarines, diced

  • 3 Tbs sugar

  • 2 Tbs cornstarch

  • 6 tsp coarse raw sugar

This exquisite summer salad looks perfect on the plate as a one-course meal.

Directions

  • In a food processor combine the flour, sugar, cardamom and salt in a processor. Pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse to pea size. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons water over flour; process 3 to 4 seconds until starting to come together (if dough looks very sandy, add water and pulse a few more times until clumping but slightly loose). Turn out onto a large sheet of plastic wrap. Bring wrap up and cover top of dough; press to form 7-inch disk. Chill until cold.
  • Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll out on lightly floured board to form 1/8-inch thick circles approximately 5-inches in diameter. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; transfer circles to sheet. Spoon cookie crumbs into center of circles.
  • Separately, whisk the egg yoke and cream. In a large bowl, gently toss blueberries, nectarines, sugar and cornstarch. Mound fruit evenly in center of each circle, leaving a 1-inch border around edge. Bring pastry up and over filling just to form a 1-inch border. Brush pastry lightly with egg mixture and sprinkle with sugar. Chill until cold.
  • Position oven rack in lower third of oven; heat to 425 F. Bake crostata 35 minutes until center lightly bubbles and crust is deep golden. Cool 15 minutes. Serve warm with gelato or lightly sweetened whipped cream.
