Peach and blackberry tart recipe
A rustic crostata bursting with juicy peaches and sharp blackberries. The rolled oats can be replaced with about 40g (1.4oz) unseasoned breadcrumbs, toasted in a nonstick frying pan, or 40g (1.4oz) biscuit crumbs. For a vegan version, replace the butter with the same weight of vegan butter.

Step-by-step
- In a food processor, combine the oat flour, plain flour, 45g (1.5oz) of the sugar, the salt and the lemon zest, and pulse briefly to combine.
- Add the butter and pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly. Add 100ml (3.3fl oz) cold water and process until the dough forms a ball. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the peaches, blackberries, lemon juice and remaining sugar, and toss to combine.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 2 to 3mm thick and place it on the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle the rolled oats over the dough, leaving a 7 to 8cm (2½- to 3in) border uncovered.
- Arrange the fruit on top of the oats and fold the dough over the filling, leaving the filling exposed in the centre.
- Bake the crostata for about 35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown, then remove from the oven and let cool before serving.
