Chocolate Tart with Orange, Rosemary and Hazelnut from Ottolenghi Sweet


Who doesn't love a chocolate tart?  When my team had a lunch at my boss's house late last year, and I was in charge of dessert.  One of the things that I had to make at a team mate's request was a Strawberry Watermelon Cake based on the Black Star Pastry recipe.  My other choice was the delicious sounding Chocolate Tart with Hazelnut, Rosemary and Orange from Sweet by Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh.

What is not to like?  A shortcrust pastry shell is sprinkled wit hazelnut brittle, then filled with a rosemary and orange filled ganache.  Yum!   


This tart is easy to make, but involves a number of do in advance steps, and hence the method is fairly lengthy.

Accordingly, rather than me repeat the recipe here, you can find it in the excellent book, Sweet, or online here.  If you are a lover of decadent chocolate desserts, I encourage you to make this tart.

Dear Gaye, I love that tart - aren't the recipes from Ottolenghi's/Goh's 'Simple' absolutely wonderful?! Chocolate, hazelnuts, rosemary and oranges go so well together!
Well chosen and perfectly made!

I'm not a huge chocolate orange lover but I can see this working well with chocolate passionfruit or raspberry :D
