Tartlets - unleavened dough baskets of various sizes that can be filled with original fillings. The dish is quickly prepared and looks quite attractive on the festive table. Fillings for tartlets should be prepared in advance, and the baskets should be filled before serving.
Chicken and prune filling
Boil 2 chicken fillets and chop. Add chopped walnuts (4-5 pcs.), Prunes cut into thin strips (6 pcs.), Which must first be washed and soaked in boiling water. Season with garlic and grated cheese (3.5 tablespoons). Season with salt, add light mayonnaise to taste and stir. Place in tartlets, top with dill sprigs in the shape of a star, and in the middle place a pitted olive.
Shrimp and tomato filling
Pre-cook 170 g of shrimp of any size. Separate the tails and strip off the chitin. Gently remove the intestinal vein from the shrimp with a toothpick and chop it. Cherry tomatoes (12 pcs.) Cut into small pieces and salt. Wait until the juice is released from the tomatoes, which must be drained. Otherwise, the basket dough can quickly soften. Quail eggs (4 pcs.) Boil in salted water, cool and chop. Add to the shrimp, tomato mixture and stir. Season with mayonnaise if desired.
Ham and bell pepper filling
Cut ham or raw sausage (70 g) lengthwise and crosswise into small cubes. Grind the red and yellow bell peppers with a blender as well. Tear fresh basil (2-4 leaves) with your hands so that the spice gives juice. Cut fresh cucumber (1-2 pcs.) And add to the mixture of ham, pepper and basil. Season with salt to taste and season with mayonnaise.
Tartlets can be cooked both hot and cold. If you sprinkle each basket with cheese and bake in the oven, then the taste of the dish will be more delicious. Experiment with fillings while creating your own original recipes. Try combining different sizes of tartlets on the same dish. Instead of mayonnaise, you can add sour cream, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar.
