Curried Pecan Tart................

Here's something that I have done long time ago and have recently revisited. The combination of curry and pecans go suprisingly well together. For this, I have lightly tossed the pecans in simple syrup and lightly sprinkled curried powder over them, tossing them to coat well. Lay them out on a sheet pan lined with panliner, sprinkle with powdered sugar and toast in the oven. The flavors of the curry with develop and the smokiness of the pecans will come out with a nice balance of sweetness from the caramelization of the sugars. Fill your prepared pan with the toasted pecans and add your filling. The filling does not need to have curry powder in the mixture. The curry alone on the pecans should suffice.
