  1. For the crust: combine 2 cups flour, 1 stick cold butter, cubed, 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Pulse until crumbly. Add ice cold water 1 tablespoon at a time and pulse until the dough comes together in a ball. (about 5 or 6 tablespoons) Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  2. For the filling: Mix together the goat cheese, heavy cream, egg, brown sugar, flour, salt and basil in a bowl. Add the blueberries and combine; the texture will be like a thick cake batter.

  3. For the topping: Mix together the walnuts, brown sugar and melted butter and set aside.

  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 18 inch thickness and place into a 10 inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. (this is known as "docking". It keeps the crust from puffing up unevenly and helps it to cook evenly) Par-bake the crust for 15 minutes or until firm. Let cool slightly. Pour the filing into the crust and sprinkle the topping over the top. Bake for 40 minutes until slightly bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Rotating the pie halfway through helps it brown evenly. Let the pie cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack before serving.

For the tart
  1. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a small bowl and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Put the flour mixture in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the butter and shortening and pulse about 10 times, or until the butter is in the size of peas. Add the ice water and process until the dough comes together. Dump on a well-floured board and form into a disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out the dough and fit into 4 (4 1/2-inch) tart pans with removable sides. Don't stretch the dough when placing it in the pans or it will shrink during baking. Cut off the excess by rolling the pin across the top of each pan. Line the tart shells with a piece of buttered aluminum foil, butter side down, and fill them with dried beans or rice. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the beans and foil, prick the bottom of the shells all over with a fork, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  2. Before serving, fill the tart shells with the pastry cream. Arrange the berries decoratively on top of the cream. Melt the apricot jelly with 1 teaspoon of water and brush the top of the tarts. Sprinkle with pistachios, if using, and serve.
For the pastry cream
  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the egg yolks and sugar on medium-high speed for 4 minutes, or until very thick. Reduce to low speed, and add the cornstarch. With the mixer still on low, slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Don't be alarmed when the custard comes to a boil and appears to curdle; switch to a whisk and beat vigorously. Cook, whisking constantly, for another 2 minutes; the custard will come together and become very thick, like pudding. Stir in the vanilla, orange liquor, butter, and heavy cream. Pour the custard through a sieve into a bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on the custard and refrigerate until cold. Yield: 2 cups

Recipe Notes

The best technique to use it is to sprinkle fresh parmigiano reggiano on your pasta first, after the pasta is cooked, then add the pesto. The cheese will stick the pesto to the pasta and create the perfect texture.

TURKEY BRINE

Brining will make your turkey moister by imparting flavored liquid on a cellular level to the muscle tissue of the meat before cooking. This is done via the process of osmosis, by allowing the cells to hold on to the water while they are cooked, via the process of denaturation. The proteins coagulate, forming a matrix that traps water molecules and holds them during cooking, preventing the meat from dehydrating – particularly useful for turkey since the breast meat often dries out. The salt is also desirable as a preservative. The flavor in the brine ends up flavoring the meat from the inside out so make sure you season your brine with flavors you want in your turkey.
