Ingredients
• 1 packet ready rolled puff pastry
• 6 tsp pesto (approximately)
• Few mixed ripe cherry tomatoes
• 4 small courgettes
• 8 asparagus spears (cut into 3cm pieces keeping head pieces for the top of the tart)
• Basil leaves
• 100g mozzarella
• Splash of olive oil
Method
Preparation time: 10mins
Cooking time: 20mins
Serves 4-6
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C
2. Unroll the pastry and divide into equal sized rectangles. Using a knife, gently score a rectangle about 1cm inside to create the surface for the ingredients. Using the back of a teaspoon spread the centre of each rectangle with pesto, taking care to avoid the edges
3. In a mixing bowl, squash the tomatoes before adding the asparagus, courgettes, and peppers and mix thoroughly
4. Add the basil leaves and a splash of olive oil and mix together. Pile a little of the vegetable mixture on each pesto-smeared tartlet
5. Break the mozzarella and place small bits on the top of each tart
6. Bake on Low Humidity or SteamBake™ at 200°C for 20 minutes. (If using SteamBake™ remember to add 100ml water and preheat for 5 minutes before baking)
Chef Tip: The dish works beautifully finished with a drizzle of reduced balsamic vinegar
