Preparation time: 1 hour, plus time for both the crust and the  filling
to cool (35 minutes of actual work)  Yield: 5 to 6 servings  Attention
grapefruit lovers! This might just be the dessert you've  been waiting
for.  FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE:  Grind the nuts in a food processor or
blender with a series of short  pulses, so they turn into a fine
powder, rather than nut butter. Bake  and cool the crust first, then
cook the filling and let it cool. (All  of this can be done well ahead
of time.) Assemble the tart shortly  before serving.  WALNUT PECAN
CRUST: 1.Preheat the oven to 375_F. Have ready a 9-inch  springform
tart pan.  2.Place the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cream
together  at high speed with an electric mixer, then stir in the nuts.
3.Add flour and salt. Use a spoon to mix the dough first, and then  use
your hands, if necessary, working quickly. Mix until all the
ingredients are combined and the dough holds together. (Don't
overhandle it.)  4.Flour a clean, dry surface. Roll out the dough
between 2 sheets of  plastic wrap into an 11- to 12-inch circle about
1/4 inch thick.  5.Remove the top sheet of plastic, and use the other
as a helper to  flip the crust into the tart pan. Press the dough down
and ease it  into the corners. Prick the dough all over with a fork.
6.Bake in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is
deeply golden all over. Cool completely before filling.
GRAPEFRUIT-LIME FILLING  1.Combine the egg yolks, sugar, flour, and
zests in a heavy saucepan.  Pour in the juices, whisk thoroughly, and
bring to a boil over medium  heat. Boil gently for 2 minutes, whisking
frequently. Remove from  heat, and set aside to cool to room
temperature.  2.Spoon the room-temperature filling into the cooled
crust, and  spread it in place.  3.Shortly before serving, arrange the
grapefruit sections over the  top in a lovely pattern. To serve, remove
the rim from the tart pan,  place the tart on an elegant plate, and
bring it to the table to  receive admiration. Then cut into wedges and
dig in.  www.molliekatzen.com 2/99  Recipe by: Adapted from "Vegetable
