Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the pine nuts, flour and wheat germ. Pulse until smooth, then pulse to cut in butter, to achieve a crumbly dough. It will be very dry and loose. Press the dough firmly into a 11" tar ring with removable bottom and blind bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is dry and beginning to take on color. Set aside to cool completely before removing tart ring.
