Artichoke and Anchovy Tartaletas

I am a girl who likes to pretty much make Ready Steady Cook happen every night in my kitchen. This recipe is a result of another one of these amazingly simple fridge/cupboard emptiers. Very pretty with beaut summery vibes. And it's BOOMING delicioso.



 Rustle up.....
  • an array of brightly-coloured veg (a courgette/a red pepper/an onion/whatever's in the veg draw)
  • tomate frito/ passata
  • a jar of artichokes, sliced
  • a tin of anchovies
  • puff pastry
  • other racy kitchen flavours- garlic/extra virgin olive oil/salt/pepper/oregano/honey/pesto
  • aluminium foil (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 200. Slice up all the veg into slender lengths.
2. Roll out pastry, then cut into 12x12cm squares. Take aluminium foil and crunch up to make a ring (12cm radius) for each tart to sit in (optional but makes them look pretty!). Place one pastry square on each ring to make cute little pastry cups.
3. Spoon a bit of tomate frito into the bottom of each square then crush a garlic clove and sprinkle on top of the tomato. Then layer up the veggies, a few slices of artichoke and finally an anchovy or two on top.
4. Season with salt, pepper, oregano and then add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and honey.
5. Whack the little tarties in the oven for about 15 mins or until golden brown.
6. Serve with lambs lettuce and pesto drizzle.



This recipe is awesome because you can literally substitute any of the ingredients for some other delicious thing and its still.......delicious! If you're an anchovy-phobe try swapping them for chorizo, ham, tuna, salt cod....................the list is endless!
