Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6.
step 2
Place the strawberries (500 g) on an oven tray, pour on the Pimm's (150 ml) and tuck in the vanilla pod (1) and mint (6 sprigs). Mix the sugar (80 g) with the vanilla seeds and sprinkle over the fruit. Roast on a high shelf in the oven for about 20 minutes until the strawberries are soft. Remove and leave to cool completely. Discard the mint and vanilla pod.
step 3
For the lemon shortbread, lower the oven setting to 180°C/ 160°C Fan/Gas 4. Lightly grease the base of a 22cm loose- bottomed tart tin.
step 4
Using a hand-held electric whisk and bowl, or a stand mixer, whisk the butter (125 g), sugar (80 g) and lemon zest (2) together for around 2–3 minutes until light and creamy. Add the ground almonds (50 g), flour (150 g) and salt (1 pinch) and stir with a rubber spatula until the mixture begins to come together. Using your hands, bring it together to form a soft dough and pat into a disc.
step 5
Place the dough in the tart tin and press it down evenly with your hands to fill the tin. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Prick all over with a fork and sprinkle evenly with a tablespoon of golden caster sugar. Bake in the oven for 30–35 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and, while still warm, score the wedges again with a sharp knife. Leave to cool.
step 6
For the vanilla cream, in a medium bowl, whisk the cream (600 ml) with the sugar (2 tbsp) and vanilla seeds (1) until softly whipped.
step 7
To serve, divide the vanilla cream between 4 serving plates, make a hollow in the middle and fill with the strawberries and their syrup. Serve at once, with the shortbread wedges.
