Cannellini Bean and Tomato Tarts

I LOVE making finger food. For whatever reason, making small yet delicious morsels of food to share is something I really enjoy. I’ve got an amazing selection of staple recipes that are always on rotation. But I’m also constantly trying new flavours and creating new recipes to add to the collection. These Cannellini Bean and Tomato Tarts are a recent discovery and are just delightful. Fresh and tasty to eat but quick and easy to make. They look fancy but really take minimal effort to produce. Now that’s my kind of finger food!

I love that they use store bought tart shells – this saves so much time and fiddling about. Just make sure you pick up savoury tart shells and not sweet ones! The cannellini bean and tomato would not work so well in sweet tarts!

You could also play with the flavours as well. A flake of hot smoked salmon on the bottom of the tart shell would add another level of flavour. Spoon in a little rocket or basil pesto under the puree to add a green herb note. Or place a sliver of kalamata olive on the top with the tomato to a savoury salty hit to the tarts.  Even substitute the tomatoes for some shaved fennel, green apple and mint to make a crunchy salad topping.
