Satisfying vegetarian tarts, perfect for starters.
Ingredients:
  • 2 sheets frozen ready-rolled shortcrust pastry, partially thawed
  • 56.88 gm olive oil
  • 500g butternut pumpkin, peeled, deseeded, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 9.00 gm sesame seeds
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 180g haloumi, drained
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease 16 patty holes. Cut 8 rounds from each pastry sheet using a 6.5cm cutter. Press rounds into holes, prick bases with a fork 3 times. Bake for 12 minutes until golden. Let stand for 3 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add pumpkin and cook for 10 minutes until just tender, tossing occasionally. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the pumpkin and cook for an additional 2 minutes until seeds are light golden. Stir in sugar and vinegar, then cook for 3 minutes until pumpkin starts to turn golden.
  • Cube the haloumi into 1cm pieces and add to a hot frying pan. Cook the haloumi, tossing occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Fill tart cases with the pumpkin mixture and serve.
