Article: Chocolate pine-nut tart

Serves 8

The custard here makes a very thin layer, which is studded with pine nuts and squares of dark chocolate. One day recently I was just about to make this tart and remembered that one of my guests is allergic to chocolate. I quickly pulled some candied orange rind from the pantry shelf and snipped half a dozen pieces into the tart instead of the chocolate (I doubled the pine nuts). It was a huge success. Because the tart is so thin, you don't think it's going to pack the flavor it does. The recipe comes from French-born chef Antoine Bouterin, a master of culinary understatement.
