Cooking instructions
* Step 1
First make the pastry. Combine the flour and butter in a mixing bowl and rub together with fingertips until the flour and butter resembles breadcrumbs
* Step 2
Slowly add cold water a tbsp at a time. Using a table knife combine the flour mixture with the water, then use your hand to bring the mixture into a ball
* Step 3
Turn out onto a clean work surface and shape into a disc. Wrap in cling film and rest in the fridge for 30 mins
* Step 4
Remove from the fridge, dust your work surface with flour and roll out the pastry a couple of inches wider than your tart tin
* Step 5
Line the loose bottom flutter tart tin with the pastry, pushing it in to the sides of the tin. Cut off any excess pastry, prick with a fork all over and place in the fridge for half an hour or over night.
* Step 6
Meanwhile prepare your filling, blanch asparagus and tenderstem for 2-3 mins until just tender, then wash, chop and sauté the leek until softened, season and set aside.
* Step 7
Add nettles to a frying pan if using with a splash of water and cook on a low heat, stirring occasionally until wilted, remove from the pan and chop
* Step 8
Preheat the oven to 220c fan 200c, line the tart tin with baking paper fill with baking beans and blind bake the tart shell for 10-15 mins until the edges start to turn golden. Remove from the oven, remove the baking beans and baking parchment. Return to the oven for 10 mins or until the shell is light golden all over.
