Servings: persons

2 cups flour
8 tablespoons butter, diced (1 stick)
1/4 cup ice water
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon grated onion
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
8 ounces crabmeat
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste
2 teaspoons lemon juice
salt and cayenne pepper

1
Sift the flour and a good pinch of salt into a mixing bowl, add the diced butter and rub it in with your fingertips, until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Gradually stir in enough ice water to make a firm dough.
2
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Roll out the pastry and use to line four, 4-inch tart-let tins. Prick the bases with a fork, then chill in the refrigerator for 30 minute.
3
Line the pastry shells with waxed paper and fill with baking beans. Bake in a preheated oven at 400* for 10 min, then remove the paper and the beans. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minute.
4
Place the ricotta, grated onion, Parmesan and mustard in a bowl and beat until soft. Gradually beat in the eggs and yolk.
5
Gently stir in the crab meat and chopped parsley, then add anchovy paste, lemon juice, salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
6
Remove the tarts from the oven and reduce heat to 350*. Spoon the filling into the shells and bake for 20 min, until set and golden brown. Serve hot with a garnish of salad greens.
