Seasoning

Fresh, summer tasting food is wonderful to eat outside – or inside but looking out of the window. These recipes are easy to prepare, so that if the weather does happen to be glorious, you won’t have to spend too much time indoors....

  1. Toss the peas and mint together in a small bowl and leave to one side.
  2. Gently fry the onions and then cool slightly. Beat the egg and cream together. Season if you wish at this point, but remember feta is a salty cheese.
  3. Cut out small squares of pastry and place into the greased muffin tin. Place a teaspoonful of onion into the bottom of each tart, add another teaspoon of egg mixture, then top with minted peas and lastly some cubes of feta (I used 5 or 6 tiny cubes per tartlet).
  4. Bake in a medium (gas 4, 180°C) oven for 25 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm or cold.
