Yield 4 tarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

150g shortcrust pastry
1 tbsp olive oil
300g mushrooms
4 shallots
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp English mustard
100ml single / double cream
salt & pepper to taste
fresh tarragon or basil

Steps:

  • Peel & finely slice shallots. Heat olive oil and saute shallots for about 10 mins or until soft. Peel & crush garlic and add to shallots. Wipe & finely chop mushrooms. There's no need to peel them. Add to shallot pan and saute until mushrooms are soft and all liquid has evaporated. (Don't skimp time on this bit or the final tart filling will be too runny.) Remove pan from heat and stir in the mustard. Stir in the cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Preheat oven to 190c / 375F / Gas Mark 5. Grease tart tins. (A larger 4x10cm diameter Yorkshire Pudding tin is ideal.) Roll out pastry to about 1/2 cm thick and line tins. Divide mushroom mixture equally between each tart and brush visible pastry with a little milk to help it brown. Bake for 30 mins or until pastry is golden. Sprinkle tops of tarts with fresh shredded tarragon or basil just prior to serving.
