- This is an easy recipe ideal for a starter, light lunch or tasty lunch box filler. I have made a butter bean hummus as the base to the tartlets, but you can use ready-made regular hummus as a short cut.
- Preparation Time: 25 minutes Cooking Time: 20 minutes Makes: 8 tartlets
Ingredients:
- 375g ready rolled puff pastry
- 2 egg yolks (beaten – for glazing)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- Filling
- Butter Bean Hummus
- 1 400g tin butter beans – drained
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoons water
- 4 large red onions – peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Topping
- 30g Can D Smoked Salmon
- Garnish: 1 tablespoon chives – finely chopped
Method
To make the Pastry Rectangles- Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Cut the ready rolled pastry in half. Cut each half again lengthways and then cut again so you have 8 equal rectangles.
- Put the pastry rectangles on the baking tray and score a border into the pastry about 2 cm from the edge. Glaze the pastry border with the beaten egg yolks and toasted sesame seeds. To make the filling
- For the Hummus
- Combine all the ingredients in the food processor, taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. The mixture should be a spreadable consistency. Add more water if it is too thick.
- For the Onions
- Heat the oil in a shallow frying pan. Sauté the onions so they are soft but not burnt. Leave to cool for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200C
- Transfer to the centre of the puff pastry tartlets and bake for about 10 minutes or until golden.
- Top the cooked tartlets with Can -D smoked salmon and garnish with finely chopped chives.
