Charles Muntz is the main villain of this film. His goal is to capture an exotic bird, Kevin, to prove his credibility. He has gotten rid of people who have threatened his goal. For this, he seemed like a sour person so I had decided to make a tartlet. When you hear the word "tart," you might assume the object is sour. I also chose to do a raspberry tart because raspberries are traditionally sour. The tarts look tame enough, which is how we see Muntz in the beginning. But once you bite into them, you are hit with the sourness of the raspberries which represents the part where Muntz reveals his true nature.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of redcurrant jelly
- 200 grams of reduced-fat crème fraîche
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 50 grams icing sugar, sifted
- handful basil leaves, roughly chopped
- 8 pre-cooked individual tart cases
- 300 grams raspberries
First, make the glaze. Place the redcurrant jelly with a small splash of water into a pan and heat gently until melted. Do not boil. Sieve, cover with clingfilm that is touching the top of the jelly and allow to cool. Beat together the crème fraîche and yogurt, then stir in the icing sugar and basil. Pipe or spoon in enough of the mixture into the tartlet cases to fill the pastry. Arrange the raspberries on to the tarts. Brush with the cooled glaze, taking care not to touch the pastry, and repeating until it forms a thick, shiny layer. Leave to set. Serve alone or with a drizzle of raspberry purée.
