    Method

    1. 1

      Line a 23 cm (9 in) tart tin with pastry, prick, and blind-bake at 190°C (375°F) for 20 minutes until golden.

    2. 2

      Blanch the fava beans 2 minutes and purée half of them. Fold the purée into the farmer's cheese with the Parmesan, lemon zest, salt and pepper.

    3. 3

      Spread into the cooled shell and scatter over the whole fava beans.

    4. 4

      Shingle the almond slices in overlapping circles on top like petals.

      Dot with mustard, sprinkle thyme, drizzle with oil and bake 8 minutes to warm and lightly toast the almonds. Finish with flaky salt.
