Roasted Grape, Leek and Asparagus Tarts
Roasted Grape, Leek and Asparagus Tarts! These (slightly strange) sounding but delicious tarts came about when I had some various leftovers to use up.
The tarts are made with crispy puff pastry, a savory and slightly sweet filling made from sauteed leeks, globe grape slices, finely sliced asparagus and roasted garlic (I also added two egg yolks, a drizzle of heavy cream, salt and pepper to taste and 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese), and after baking, topped with a little extra parmesan cheese, a leek slice, asparagus tip and globe grape slice.
Each bite is bursting with flavor and texture! These sophisticated tarts would be a perfect appetizer, and would also be great as a side dish for most any meal.
Delicious, uniquely savory and sweet, and crispy too!
Start with one rectangle of puff pastry, cut into squares and dock dough about 1/2 inch in from the edges. This will create your crust.
Sauté the leeks, asparagus and sliced globe grapes together, let cool slightly and then make your filling.
Place spoonfuls of the filling in the center of each puff pastry square.
Try to keep the filling mostly inside the docked square of puff pastry.
Bake, and top with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and a bit of the leek, an asparagus tip, and a slice of the globe grapes. Enjoy warm!
