Popeye Open Tart

This is a firm favourite in our house and so simple to do. It's fast, simple & effective. The Harissa gives it a little zing and a great taste dimension! Try replacing the chicken with prawns or flaked salmon!

Ingredients

  • One packet of pre made puff pastry
  • 6 small tomatoes
  • Handful of spinach
  • Cooked chicken breast (any cooked meat will do or for the Veggie version leave it out)
  • 1 Tbl Spoon or Mr. Vikkis Lemon Harissa
  • A handful of grated cheese
  • Seasoning
  • 1 egg
  • A drop of milk

Method

  • Roll out the pastry on a floured surface
  • Mark out approx a 1 inch border with the tip of a knife all the way round the pastry. Make sure you don't cut all the way through!
  • Spread a thin layer of the harissa paste onto the inner section of the pastry as you would a pizza base.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half and evenly scatter on the base
  • Now give the base a dusting with the grated cheese
  • Place the meat and the spinach on the base now, no method to this just make sure everyone gets enough!
  • Add salt and pepper (do this from a height so it makes you look like you know what you're doing)
  • Beat the egg in a cup with a drop of milk
  • Use the egg mixture to glaze the edge of the pasty
  • Sling in the oven at the pasty makers recommended temperature for the recommended time.
  • Portion up and serve with a nice side salad or coleslaw.
  • Don't forget the wine!
  • Enjoy!
