Mushroom Tartlets

Mushroom Tartlets

It is the time of year for feasting and celebrating. Everyone already seems to be in a festive mood.

We all want to make food that looks impressive, but at the same time, spending too much time in the kitchen often means missing out on all the fun and catching up.

These mushroom tartlets are a great compromise as they look pretty good, yet they are very easy to prepare and the mushrooms are totally the focus of the dish. It looks beautiful and is a versatile recipe to have. I must admit, it hardly qualifies as a recipe!

Mushroom tartlets

The Mushroom tartlets can be served as a main vegetarian course with a side salad or as a side dish with a roast or even with a braai. It can also be served as finger food or as a starter.
