Directions
Balsamic Onion Tartlets, I recently acquired a copy of Martha Stewarts Hor DOeuvres Handbook and became taken with her flair for small bites with beautiful presentation The onion relish here was inspired by Dancers Chicken with Balsamic Onions You can prepare the onions a day or so ahead of time and finish the tarts just before serving I tend to offer a lot of variety so I keep the batches of each hors doeuvre small, but this can be easily doubled Don’t let the preparation time scare you, its mostly simmering time that frees you to attend to other things These tarts are just wonderful served along with a zesty red wine , After going through my cook book I have found some recipes that I have made it the past, and just never got around to reviewing them I made these for a catering job I had years ago as a nice finger food I remember them being very easy to make on seen I just cooked the filling at home, cooled it, put it in a ziplock bag, and filled the phyllo shells at the location of the party They were good, but they lacked something to me Maybe a little crisp bacon piece on top to give it a meatiness I couldn’t really decide at the time It makes me want to make them again now to see if they could be improved with something meaty , I’ve made these three times now, and they are great The carmelized onions are wonderful with the addition of the thyme They just might become my go-to dish for potlucks and buffets!
