Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, finely ground almonds, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice-cold water until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap, and chill for 15 minutes.

Notes

Blind-bake the crust properly to ensure it remains flaky. Gently cook rhubarb to maintain its shape. Allow the tart to rest for cleaner slices.
