Method

step 1
In a blender, add your pistachios (100 g) and grind until roughly chopped. Remove 2 tbsp of the chopped nuts and leave to one side. Continue to blend the rest and add the maple syrup (50 ml) and vanilla (1 tsp) until the pistachios become a smooth paste. Add the vegetable oil (2 tsp) and continue to blend until smooth and shiny (adding extra oil if necessary).
step 2
Spoon the pistachio paste into the base of the pastry case (6) and smooth over with the back of a teaspoon. Leave to chill in the fridge.
step 3
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate (125 g) in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave with 1 tsp vegetable oil. Stir well until smooth. Spoon over the tarts to cover the pistachio paste. Set aside to cool down. Decorate with the remaining pistachios and a scattering of rose petals (as needed).
