Mango & Candied Chili Tarte Tatin

Ingredients
  

  • Tarte Tatin:
  • 250 g shortcrust pastry
  • 4 firm mangoes
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 50 g butter or vegan alternative
  • 60 g granulated sugar
  • 30 g flour
  • 25 g clotted cream or vegan alternative
  • Candied Chili:
  • 1 red scotch bonnet chilli or a milder version if you prefer – finely sliced into strips
  • 65 g water
  • 65 g sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 210°C
  • Prepare the mango by peeling it and slicing the flesh away from the stone. Cut the mango flesh into thin strips and set aside in its own juices.
  • Next, make the caramel. Start by melting butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Sprinkle in sugar and let it caramelise until golden.
  • Pour the caramel into a tart pan.
  • Arrange the Mango, by placing the slices in the pan in a rosette pattern over the caramel. Repeat until all the mango is used.
  • Now add the Pastry. Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured surface.
  • Prick with a fork and lay it over the mango. Tuck in the edges.
  • Poke a small hole in the centre to let steam escape.
  • Now it is time to bake the tart – place in the warmed oven at 210°C for 15 minutes.
  • Then, lower the temperature to 170°C (340°F) and bake another 20 minutes.
  • While the tart is baking, prepare the candied chilli.
  • Prepare the Candied Chilli:
  • Combine water and sugar in a saucepan, and bring to the boil.
  • Lower the heat and simmer to form a light syrup.
  • Add the finely chopped chilli and let it infuse for 2 minutes.
  • Cool completely before using.
  • To Serve:
  • Invert the tart onto a serving dish while warm.
  • Sprinkle with lime zest.
  • Slice into desired portions and plate up, adding a quenelle of clotted cream to each slice.
  • Top with a few strips of candied chilli.
