In this time of parties and meals with family and friends, the ideas to prepare run out and there comes a time when we no longer know what we can cook. That’s why we propose 23 salty tartlets to succeed at ChristmasSurely among them you will find a proposal that will conquer you.
Being a small bite, they are easy to taste and are not heavy, in addition You can prepare different fillings so that there is variety when presenting them. We advise you to finish them shortly before serving them, so that the dough does not soften, it will not take you long if you have the base and the filling ready, you just have to assemble them before taking them to the table.
sweet and sour tartlets
I’m lovin ‘it combine sweet and savory flavors in the same dish, sometimes basat with a slight sweet touch to lighten the rigidity of a preparation, and in others both balance so well that taking a bite to your mouth is going to seventh heaven. The tartlets are a great opportunity to mix two trends that at first seem antagonistic, because due to their small size the result is totally exquisite.
To start with, we suggest these foie gras and pear compote tartlets, two ingredients that go together perfectly, although you can substitute the pear for apple if you like it better.
We also recommend you bet on these original tartlets of sobrassada with honey and pine nuts, in which it is better not to overdo it with the amount of honey so that the final result is not cloying, so it is better that you add it little by little until you get a fair balance. We leave you here the complete recipe, which as you will see is very simple.
Sobrassada tartlets with honey and pine nuts
Heat the oil in a small skillet. Add the pine nuts and lightly toast them over low heat. Add the sobrasada, stir for a minute and pour the honey on top. Mix everything well and When the honey is well integrated, remove from the heat. Fill the tartlets with the mixture of sobrassada, honey and pine nuts. We serve at the moment preferably.
cheese tartlets
Cheese is an ingredient that is especially suitable for preparing tartlets, because when it is heated it melts and mixes with the rest of the ingredients. achieving a honeyed and frankly delicious texture. The type of cheese you choose will condition the final result a bit, depending on whether it is softer or stronger, which is why we have chosen a few recipes so that you have a choice:
Tuna tartlets
If you decide to prepare the tartlets with tuna, choose one of high quality, so that the final result is the best. In particular, I prefer tuna in virgin olive oil, but if you think that the flavor is too strong, you can opt for a natural tuna, so that its flavor does not predominate over the rest of the ingredients that you choose.
Usually we usually have a can of tuna in our pantry, because they give a lot of play and are kept for a long time, so these two proposals can save you from a last-minute cigar if you find yourself in need of preparing an aperitif and you have not been able to go shopping. First of all, we propose some tuna and caramelized onion tartlets, but if you prefer an easier and simpler recipe, opt for these tuna and hard-boiled egg tartlets, with them you will succeed among the little ones.
egg tartlets
If you have noticed, preparing some salty tartlets can be the most complicated task if we start preparing our own mas, or the easiest if we choose use as dough some empanadilla wafers. Therefore, if you are pressed for time, it is best to choose this second option, as in these individual egg and bacon tartlets that you can have ready in a few minutes.
And what about these delicious fried egg tartlets with chorizo and Padrón pepper? sure with them no one at the table will hit you or make a bad face. The same as with the following two proposals, among which it will surely be difficult for you to choose just one option: some egg tarts with sausage and some ratatouille tarts with anchovies and eggs.
tartlets with mushrooms
We are in mushroom season, so this ingredient could not be missing from our proposals for tartlets, since it is also a very tasty ingredient that gives a lot of play, both alone and accompanied. Surely among these four proposals you will find one that will immediately call your attention to cook it:
tartlets with vegetables
For those who prefer a lighter version of tartlets, we have three great recipes that will disappoint us. To start, some spicy tartlets with green asparagus, although be moderate with the spiciness so that it is not too heavy for you. We continue with some very easy to prepare bread and vegetable tartlets, and finally, some puff pastry and aubergine tartlets whose crunchy dough will win you over at the first bite.
tartlets with meat
For finish with our repertoire of tartlets for these holidays, two tall recipes, somewhat more elaborate than the previous ones but with a five-star result. It will be worth spending a little more time in the kitchen to be able to taste both these duck confit tarts and these roast meat tarts with spinach, ricotta and pumpkin cream. Which of the two would you prefer?
