3.5 oz (100 g) blended candied lentils
-
35.2 oz (1000 g) raspberry pulp
-
0.8 oz (23 g) pectin NH
-

Directions
- Cream the butter with the flour until you achieve a creamy texture. Add the lentil flour, almond flour, and powdered sugar. Mix until the dough is homogeneous. Roll out the dough to about 4 mm thickness. Cut the dough into small circles to form the tartlet bases. Bake at 340°F (170°C) for about 13 minutes, then let cool.
- Blanch the lentils in cold water. Drain the lentils, then cook them at a simmer in 500 g of water for 25 minutes. Drain the lentils and candy them in a syrup made with sugar, honey, star anise, vanilla beans, and lemon zest for about 2 hours, until the lentils absorb all the syrup.
- Cream the butter with the sugar until you achieve a creamy texture. Add the almond flour, then the eggs one at a time. Incorporate the rum and the blended candied lentil cream. Pipe the cream into the baked tartlet bases. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes, then let cool.
- Mix the sugar and pectin in a small bowl. Heat the raspberry pulp, then add the sugar-pectin mixture gradually. Boil for 2 minutes, then pour into a gastronorm container. Once the confit has cooled, blend and transfer to a piping bag.
- Whip the heavy cream with the mascarpone until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold in the lentil cream and mix.
