mini tarts

A great recipe for using up all those leftover things in the fridge. Don't throw anything away, not even a tablespoon of sweetcorn or the tiniest piece of chicken - they can all be used up in this recipe!

Ingredients

4oz plain flour
2 oz butter

Method

Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add around 2 tbsp water and mix into a dough.
Roll out and cut 12 rounds to fill a large fairy cake tin
Bake blind for 15 mins at 180

Fillings

You can choose whatever you like. Today I made coronation chicken and an 'all day breakfast' one:

Ingredients for coronoation chicken

leftover cooked chicken, cut into tiny chunks
curry powder to taste
Natural yogurt - enough to make the consistency of egg mayonnaise
a dash of cream if you wish

Method

Mix everything together well

Ingredients for 'all day breakfast'

1 small hard boiled egg
6 thin slices quorn pepperoni cut into tiny chunks
tablespoon sweetcorn
enough natural yogurt to coat

Mix everything together

To assemble

Spoon a generous couple of teaspoons of the mix into a pastry shell. I topped the coronation chicken with chives and the 'all day breakfast' with snipped chives.
