Carrot, Cheese and Garlic Tartlets
After the New Year’s bustle was over, we agreed that we were not going to make anything sweet until weekend. Tired of cooking, sated with our multi-layer cake, Austrian chocolate maroons and sweet sparkling wine, I spent the New Year’s morning fishing in the large can for lovely pickled baby cucumbers, reading and watching the lights twinkle on our Christmas tree.
This time-saving recipe has lived a long life in our family. I call it time-saving because we use store-bought tartlet shells. They are made of savoury pastry with a hint of Cheddar-like cheese and paprika. Of course you can make your own tartlet shells by your favourite recipe, or use our pastry for Cheese&Rosemary Halfmoons. Then fill your tartlets with the mix of sweet carrots, mild-flavoured cheese, and tangy garlic. Decorate with black olive rings, fresh herbs, or slices of pickles.
One more thing before we go to the recipe itself: we have launched a Slovak version of our blog! Please meet Stano (see picture on index page), who joined our “editor team” a few months ago and translated all of the posts from my questionable English to correct Slovak.
Ingredients
4 large carrots
300g cheese (e.g. Edam, Gouda)
1 clove garlic
4 tbsp mayonnaise
30 savoury, cheese-flavoured tartlet shells
Wash and boil the carrots until ready yet not overcooked. Remove skins from the boiled carrots and grate them coarsely.
Grate cheese on a medium grater.
Mince garlic.
Stir together all components, adding mayonnaise.
Fill tartlet shells with the carrot&cheese mix.
