Description
Crushed Peas, Broad Beans & Edamame Bites are elegant mini tartlets filled with a vibrant mash of peas, broad beans, and edamame, topped with whipped goat cheese and optional seed granola for added crunch.
Ingredients
For the tart shells:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1 egg yolk
1–2 tbsp cold water
Pinch of salt
For the filling:
1/2 cup green peas (blanched)
1/2 cup broad beans (blanched and peeled)
1/2 cup edamame (shelled and blanched)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings:
4 oz goat cheese
2 tbsp Greek yogurt or crème fraîche
Fresh basil or microgreens (for garnish)
2 tbsp savory seed granola (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tart Shells: In a food processor, pulse the all-purpose flour, almond flour, salt, and chilled butter until crumbly. Add the egg yolk and cold water, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Press the dough into small tartlet molds and chill for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Blind bake the tart shells for 15 minutes or until golden. Let them cool completely.
- Make the Filling: In a food processor, blend the peas, broad beans, and edamame with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until roughly mashed but still textured. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the Tartlets: Spoon the mash into the cooled tart shells, filling them evenly. Whip the goat cheese with Greek yogurt or crème fraîche until smooth and creamy. Pipe a small dollop of the goat cheese mixture on top of each tartlet.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each tartlet with fresh basil or microgreens and sprinkle with savory seed granola if using. Serve the tartlets chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftover tartlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheating: These tartlets are best served at room temperature or chilled. If you prefer, you can warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
Variations: For a nut-free option, omit the seed granola. For a vegan version, substitute the goat cheese with vegan cream cheese or cashew cream and use plant-based yogurt.
