Yield 1 tart

Number Of Ingredients 10

Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 Test Kitchen's Favorite Pate Brisee in a rectangular disk
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped (pod reserved for another use)
1 pound rhubarb (about 6 stalks), halved lengthwise, then cut on the diagonal into 1 1/4-inch pieces
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 egg, beaten
Coarse sanding sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 10-by-13-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to prepared sheet and refrigerate 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Using your fingers, work vanilla seeds through mixture evenly. Add rhubarb and lemon juice; stir to combine.
Arrange rhubarb mixture over dough, in a herringbone pattern if desired, leaving a 1 inch border. Fold edges of dough over to partially cover rhubarb. Brush crust with egg, sprinkle with sanding sugar, and bake until bubbling in center, 45 to 50 minutes.
Using a pastry brush, spread bubbling juices over rhubarb to glaze. Let cool at least 30 minutes. Tart can be stored, tented with foil , at room temperature up to 1 day.
