Puff pastry tarts please

[janeiteisFedUp]

Could anybody tell me how to make one of those tarts where you whack a sheet of puff pastry on a baking tray, top it with stuff and cook it please?

Just to be awkward - it needs to be veggie; neither dd will eat mushrooms; we all hate aubergines and courgettes; dd1 won't eat cheese if she can avoid it.

If you can work from that, I'd be very grateful!

Oh - and I don't like tomatoes. Is anybody still with me?!

I have done one where you spread it with pesto then top with sliced tomatoes and courgette - but you could put any veg you like on top.

Pesto is good idea. But what can I put on top?! Asparagus?

I put pesto, (cooked sliced) leeks and cheese on top of mine but I suppose you could leave out the cheese and hope it would be ok...

you just roll it out, mark an inch in from the edge, bung your stuff on top and brush with egg (tho i use milk instead) nd cook it for about 20mins on gas 5/6.

Maybe just put cheese on one half and none on the other...

Yum to leeks. Yes, I could leave a corner without cheese and it will be her look-out if it's all dry and horrible!

Spinach? Rocket? Asparagus? Sauteed red onion and pine nuts?

I'd cook and chop the spinach lightly first.

Its a pizza with a pastry base, so I suppose you think along the lines of pizza toppings - but no tomato, courgette, aubergine, or cheese.

Hmmm...

Red onion and pine nut sounds v good. Thank you.

is it possible to just cook the pastry somehow and then put 'raw stuff' on top of it? So, like a cooked pastry base of some sort, topped with raw baby spinach, rocket etc (and feta for me)?

You have to cook the red onion first, of course! Cut into rings and sweat in olive oil and butter with some thyme.
