Beautifully made with only seven ingredients, Jamie Oliver has revealed how to make his delicious treat.

"This scruffy free-form tart is dead easy but looks and smells so striking," said the chef.

Promising an easy bake, the dessert only requires 25 minutes in the oven before it's ready to garnish and eat.

The sweet tart is best paired with either ice cream, cream, tinned custard or crème fraîche – whichever you like.

And as you'll likely be making it again, you can try it with all the suggested pairings over time.

Strawberry and balsamic tart

Ingredients

• Half reliable sweet shortcrust pastry
• 500g ripe strawberries
• Two tbsp thick balsamic vinegar
• Four tbsp caster sugar
• Two tbsp cornflour
• Four tbsp ground almonds
• One egg

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C (400F/gas six).

Make the pastry, then lightly dust a large sheet of greaseproof paper with flour and roll it out into a rough oval shape just under ½cm thick.

Lift the pastry on the greaseproof paper into a shallow baking tray. Twist the stalks off the strawberries, leaving them whole, then toss with the balsamic, caster sugar and cornflour.

Scatter the almonds across the centre of the pastry, then pile the dressed strawberries on top, juice and all. Use your hands to bring the pastry up at the edges to hug the strawberries, making sure the fruit is contained.

Beat the egg and brush all over the exposed pastry, then bake on the bottom of the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Serve right away, with ice cream, cream, tinned custard or crème fraîche, spooning over any strawberry juices from the tray.
