Mini mushroom tartlets
by
These delightful mini mushroom tartlets from Helen Graves are the perfect addition to a Mad Hatter’s tea party – but hopefully these mushrooms won’t have you taking on giant, or miniscule, proportions. Serve these earthy tartlets with pleasingly bitter dandelion tea for a taste of the countryside.

Ingredients
- 320g of puff pastry, 1 packet
- 300g of mushrooms , (mix of chestnut and closed-cup mushrooms) diced
- 1 garlic clove , large, crushed
- 25g of butter
- 1 dash of white wine

Method
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry until it is the thickness of a 2 pence piece. Cut circles to the desired size of your tartlets (until there are approximately 20) and place on a lined baking tray. Refrigerate while you make the filling

Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes or so, then splash in the wine. Add the garlic and cook until no liquid remains, then stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool
4
When ready to cook the tartlets, remove the pastry from the fridge and score a 1cm border around each edge. Brush with the beaten egg and fill the inside of the circles with mushroom mix

Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown. Once cooled a little, top each with ½ teaspoon sour cream and serve
