Petite Tourtière Tarts With Fresh Apple Chutney
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup chopped crimini mushrooms
- 3/4 cup finely chopped fennel bulb
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 2-sheet package (typically 17.3-oz) puff pastry, thawed
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 medium-large Fuji apple, cored, then chopped relatively fine (I don't peel-I like the color)
- 1 tablespoon minced flat leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- Filling: In a large skillet, saute pork over medium-high heat, breaking up with fork, until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off fat. Add mushrooms, onions, fennel, wine, garlic, thyme, black pepper, cinnamon and cloves. Bring to a bubbly boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until almost no liquid remains, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat & let cool to room temperature (you can make this up to a day ahead; cool, then cover and chill)
- Fill & Bake Tarts: Preheat oven to 375u0b0F. Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet into 3 equal lengthwise strips along fold lines. Cut each pastry strip into 4 (about 2-1/2-inch) squares, making 24 in all. Press the pastry squares into 24 standard-size muffin-pan cups. Spoon about 2 tbsp pork filling into each pastry cup. Bake about 18-22 minutes or until the pastry is puffed & golden brown.
- Make Chutney: While tarts bake, whisk the vinegar, syrup, & mustard in a small bowl. Add the apple, parsley, shallots, and toss to combine. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Serve: Remove tarts from oven, then remove from tins; top each tart with a spoonful of chutney & serve warm. Makes 24 tarts.
