INSTRUCTIONS
Fit pastry over bottom and press against sides of a plain or fluted
9-inch tart pan with removable bottom; fold any excess pastry down to
make flush with pan rim. Pour nuts onto a towel and rub lightly to
remove salt. Lift nuts from towel and put in pastry. In a bowl, beat
to blend eggs, sugar, candied ginger, fresh ginger, and vanilla. Pour
evenly over nuts. Bake on lowest rack of a 325 degree F oven until
filling jiggles only slightly when pie is gently shaken, about 40
minutes. Cool on a rack. If making ahead, wrap airtight and chill up
to a day. Offer warm chocolate sauce to spoon onto wedges to taste;
accompany with ice cream. Makes 9 to 10 servings. Per serving: 381
cal. (52 percent from fat); 4.7 g protein; 22 g fat (4.2 g sat); 43 g
carbo; 230 mg sodium; 64 mg chol. WARM CHOCOLATE SAUCE: In the top of
a double boiler, combine chocolate chips and half-and-half. Place
over simmering water and stir often until chocolate is smoothly
melted. (Or put chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl and heat
on full power -- 100 percent -- in a microwave oven; stir at 1-minute
intervals, until chocolate is smoothly melted). Use chocolate sauce
warm; if making ahead, cover and chill up to 3 days. Reheat over
simmering water or in a microwave oven. Pour into a small pitcher.
Makes 2-1/4 cups. Per tablespoon: 34 cal. (58 percent from fat); 0.4 g
