Mini Leek Tarts
I’ve been thinking about making a tart for a while. It’s so tasty and buttery. Puff pastry has plenty of butter and I don’t even want to look at nutrition facts to find out how many calories I just swallowed, but it was so damn good. Have you ever wondered why we like butter so much? That’s because our long time ancestors didn’t have access to food like we do, they had to hunt and whatever they hunted had to last them for a while. That’s why fat was actually beneficial because it filled them up for longer and gave them more energy. We don’t live in those times anymore but we kept that trait and that’s why we love buttery puff pastry. I decided to make traditional leek tart in a slightly untraditional way, few mini tarts instead of one, big round tart. I made it that way so my other half would eat it too and he’s a ‘meaty’ guy so I mixed in some ham to his portion. That way I had my vegetarian leek tarts and he had ham and leek ones.
