Vegetable tartlets
Description
If you already have ready-made pastry shells, preparing this appetizer will take you no more than 10 minutes. However, if you wish to bake them yourself, set aside about 1 hour of your time. The ingredients listed above are just one of many possible filling variations, as you can use any ingredients you like in your vegetable tartlets, including grilled vegetables. 1. Wash and lightly dry the tomato and cucumber. 2. Peel the onion and slice it into half-rings. To remove bitterness, you can pour boiling water over it or marinate it, for example. 3. Dice the cucumber and tomato into small cubes. 4. Place the vegetables into a salad bowl. Add any chopped fresh herbs you have on hand. 5. Tear the washed and dried lettuce leaves by hand. 6. Dress the vegetables with olive oil. 7. Squeeze about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and drizzle it over the top. If desired, you may use mayonnaise instead of olive oil in this simple vegetable tartlet recipe, but the appetizer will lose its lightness. 8. Finally, season lightly with salt and pepper, then mix well. 9. Fill each pastry shell with the salad and arrange them on a serving plate. That's it—homemade vegetable tartlets are ready.
