Fennel & goat cheese tartes

For 4 tartlets

Ingredients:
  • 1 block of puff pastry – butter prefered, to roll 25×25 cm , about 3 mm thick
  • 2 small fennels, top trimmed
  • 50 g salted butter
  • One glass dry white wine
  • Fresh herbs and red pepper corns
  • Honey
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Method:
  1. Cut the fennels in two. Heat up a thick bottom frypan, melt the butter and allow to slowly cook, covered.
  2. After 10 minutes, add one glass of white wine, a good pinch of rock salt and further cooked for up to  minutes.  It should be almost cooked through, still a little firm on top.  A caramelisation is made at the end by adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the frypan and reducing it.
  3. Place some goat cheese on a square of puff pastry, then one fennel on each tartlet, fresh herbs, red pepercorns and a dash of runny honey. Use some melted butter to brush the exposed pastry.  Bake for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Serve with a garden salad.
