Ingredients
 

Shortcrust

  • 160 g Wheat flour type 550
  • 60 g Salt butter
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Pernod

for covering

  • 1 Fennel bulbs with green
  • 25 g Cane sugar
  • 50 g Salt butter
  • Fennel seeds
  • Salt, pepper from the mill
  • 1 ball Buffalo mozzarella

for the vinaigrette

  • Some Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Aperitif vinegar, alternatively white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Fried onion oil
  • 1 Shallot small
  • Salt pepper
  • 100 g Lamb'S lettuce (Rapunzel)

Instructions
 

  • Put the flour in a bowl, place the egg in the hollow, add the cold butter pieces and the Pernod and quickly knead the whole thing by hand to form a dough. Wrap in cling film and put in the refrigerator for an hour.
  • After the rest period, the oven is heated to 200 ° C, circulating air 190 ° C.
  • Melt the sugar in butter in the pan and caramelize the sliced ​​fennel in it. Season "well" with salt and pepper.
  • Grease the mold and drape the fennel in it. Then the fennel seeds and a little fennel green are sprinkled over the fennel, then the sliced ​​buffalo mozzarella comes on top.
  • So, now the dough comes on top and then it goes in the oven for 40 minutes.
  • In the meantime, the vinaigrette for the lamb's lettuce is made, of course with a finely chopped shallot, an absolute must for lamb's lettuce :-).
  • Now the tart is ready and can be turned over with the help of a lid, plate or whatever. If it has not yet reached the desired degree of browning, we put it under the grill for a few more minutes.
  • The tart is served lukewarm and with the lamb's lettuce it is a real festive meal for me. Have fun cooking and bon appétit! Oh yes, I served a Palatinate Riesling with it.
  • PS: do yourselves a favor and for once leave chili aside and if you serve it with lamb's lettuce, then with a mild, sweetish vinegar, it is a harmony with the tart, it is simply indescribable, yes yes, I know, I always rave about it soooo, everything has to fit, only then can you really enjoy yourself, best regards to everyone who tries this combination, you will not be disappointed, I promise you !!!!
