ORANGE POLENTA TART

This is the best tart I have made .......and I know I have made some good tarts.
What makes this the best ?.....The simplicity of the ingredients and its construction .
Best of all the flavour and texture  is a knockout .

Preheat your oven to 180 deg C .
Measure out 250 gm of polenta and add it to a saucepan of water , the ratio is 4.5 :1, keep stirring till it comes to a boil and thickens at which point add 2 tbs of soft brown sugar  and continue to stir to mix well .
Remove the pot from the heat and prepare your tart pan
Spray a 23 cm loose bottom tart pan
Pour 1/2 the mixture into the prepared pan , using the back of a wooden spoon gently push the mixture to the fit snuggly all around .
Place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes .

Then remove and prepare the filling .
First you need to slice 1 or 2 oranges , removing pips and slice off the skin with pith .
Peel the remaining zest from the oranges and chop finely or process .

Then in the bowl of your electric mixer beat 4 eggs till well beaten and then gradually add 150 gm of castor sugar , 150ml of orange juice , the juice of 1 lemon , 125ml of almond milk and the chopped zest .
Now pour this mix evenly over the polenta base .
Now continue to bake in  the preheated oven till the filling is partially set , then remove and top the filling with the orange slices .
Return the tart to the oven and continue to bake for 10 minutes ...
Then remove the tin  from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool .
