Slow Cookbook Recipe No. 10




SPINACH AND PEAS TARTELLETTES

Submitted by Anna Breau, France


Ingredients for 4 people:

pastry dough for 8 small salty tarts
500 gr green peas
400 gr spinach
200 gr bacon
1 onion
1 glass white wine
1/4 tsp sugar
vegetable broth
butter
salt & pepper

Preparation:

Roll out pastry dough to make the tartellettes. Cook in 160°C oven for about 15 minutes.

Boil the peas and the spinach for 1 minute. Chop onion and bacon.

Put a knob of butter in a skillet and fry the onion and bacon slowly for 5 minutes. Don't let the onion burn. Stir frequently. Add the white wine and cook for another 5 minutes.

Add the peas and the spinach together with 1/4 tsp sugar and cook for a further 8 minutes mixing well. Add some vegetable broth if it becomes too dry. Salt & pepper to your liking. Distribute the spinach and pea mixture on the tartellettes and serve at room temperature. You may add grated parmesan/pecorino cheese on top if so desired.

An easy and delightful appetizer.

Wine pairing: A chilled white wine like a Chardonnay-Trebbiano or a Malvasia would pair nicely with the tartelettes.
