Borough blue, leek and walnut tarts


These tarts are hugely popular and we always sell out of them at markets. For those of you who can't get to buy them from us, here's the recipe for you to make them yourself. I would recommend that you use ready rolled puff pastry simply for the ease of cutting into even sized squares.

Borough Blue, leek and walnut tarts

375g pack ready rolled all butter puff pastry
40g butter
500g trimmed leeks thinly sliced
150g Borough Blue cheese cut or broken into pieces
75g walnuts roughly broken and 6 walnut halves

Preheat the oven to 200C (180C fan) Mark 6

Melt the butter in a pan, add the leeks and cook for about ten minutes or until they are soft. Season. Leave to cool.

Unroll the pastry and leaving it on its wrap, cut it in half lengthwise, then cut each half into three squares. Using the tip of a sharp knife, score a smaller square 1cm inside the edge of each to make a frame but don't cut right through.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the pastry squares on top.

Squatter 25g Borough Blue over each tart.

Stir the broken walnuts into the cooled leeks and then divide it between the tarts. Place half a walnut in the centre of each tart.

Bake for 15 -20 minutes until golden.

Serve with a lovely green salad.
