Pear Tarta De Santiago

By James Martin

I’m fascinated by the North African influence on Spanish cuisine. Take this traditional flourless almond cake, or Tarta de Santiago, which was a by-product of increased almond cultivation and culinary traditions during Spain’s Moorish era. More bakes for almond lovers here: Extremadura Almond Pie; Anytime Almond Cake; and Almond Croissant Galette.
