HUEY'S MINI LEEK TARTS
Adapted from Huey's recipe for Mini Leek Tarts, which he has classified as a SNACK ATTACK recipe. Huey (Iain Hewitson) is an Australian chef: he has written several cooking books and hosts a popular TV cooking show each weekday. If you preferred, you could use this recipe to make one larger tart, but if you do this, remember to adjust the cooking times. I have added onion and garlic to Huey's original recipe as the combination of leeks, onions and garlic - if you have not tried it - is truly delicious. Australian Tasty Cheese is a yellow, fairly flavoursome cheese used a lot in cooking. Vary the cheese to suit what's on hand and your taste preferences.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Boil the water, add the leeks, salt, to taste and butter and continue boiling until the water has almost evaporated. Then turn heat down and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the leeks are very tender. Then drain thoroughly.
- While the leeks are simmering, place the chopped onion and minced garlic in a microwave-safe dish with the 1/2 teaspoon of butter and microwave for probably about a minute (try 1/2 a minute first) or until the onion and garlic have just softened.
- Beat the eggs, the cream, the ¼ cup of grated cheese, the nutmeg and seasonings. Then add the leeks, the onions and garlic and mix thoroughly so that they are well-combined.
- With the olive oil spray, lightly spray 2 mini muffin trays (24 cups) and cut out circles from the pastry sheets, just slightly larger than the muffin tins.
- Gently push the pastry rounds into each cup and spread the leek mixture evenly between the cups, being careful not to over fill the cups. Then top each tart with a little grated tasty cheese and cook in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes or until the tarts are golden. As ovens vary so much, it's a good idea to check them after 10 minutes. And if you know your oven is inclined to burn things, place a piece of kitchen loosely on top of the tarts for perhaps the first part of the cooking, and perhaps only add the additional grated cheese when you remove the foil.
- NOTE: If you want to freeze the tarts, firstly put them in the freezer (cooled, but as is) for 1-2 hours. Then remove them from the tins and transfer to an airtight container, placing baking paper between each layer. To cook, put them back into the muffin tins and cook from frozen.
MINI LEEK TARTS
I decided to make traditional leek tart in a slightly non traditional way, few mini tarts instead of one, big round tart. I made it that way so my other half would eat it too. He's not much of a veggie guy so I mixed in some ham to his portion. That way I had my vegetarian leek tarts and he had ham and leek ones.

HUEY'S POTATO TORTA
My adaptation of Huey's Potato Torta. The type of cheese you use, and the amount, can be varied to suit individual taste preferences, but I do recommend using some parmesan. For a not-quite vegetarian variation add a couple of rashers of panfried bacon, chopped. Or for a vegetable variation, add spinach.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 220°C.
- Melt the butter and garlic in a small saucepan.
- At the same time, heat the oil in a pan and gently sauté the onion until it has softened but not browned; then drain the onion well in a fine sieve.
- Line the base of a springform cake tin with foil and lightly spray it with oil; then place a layer of the potatoes on top together with onion, seasonings, herbs cheese and a little butter. Repeat the process with a double layers of potatoes, pressing down lightly with the palm of your hand. Finish with a single layer of potatoes; brush the final layer of potatoes with the remaining butter, melted, season to taste and sprinkle the milk over the top.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender; remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of the cooking time.
- Allow the torte to cool slightly before releasing it from the springform pan.
- Place it on a sering platter.
- VARIATIONS: You can add a couple of rashers of bacon; sprinkle them on before the cheese. And for another vegetarian variation, you could add a packet of thoroughly squeeze-dried frozen spinach to the drained onion, at the end of step three.

Steps:
- 1. Line the pie dish of your choice with the pastry and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Prick the pastry all over with the tines of a fork or a sharp knife, then line it with aluminum foil and fill it with dry beans or pastry weights to keep it from bubbling up. Bake it in the lower third of the oven until the edges of the pastry are golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and reserve.
- 3. Melt the goose fat with the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until the bacon is slightly golden but not crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the leeks, stir so they are coated with fat and cook, covered, until they are tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally so they don't stick to the bottom of the pan. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
- 4. In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the eggs until they are broken up, then whisk in the milk and the cream. Season with salt and pepper.
- 5. Arrange the leeks and the bacon evenly over the pastry. Pour the custard mixture over it. Place the tart tin on a baking sheet and bake it in the bottom third of the oven until the top is golden and puffed and the custard is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, remove the edge of the tart tin if you've used a removable bottom tart tin, and serve immediately.

ETTA'S ASPARAGUS AND LEEK TART
Etta's is the name of a seafood Seattle restaurant owned by Tom Douglas (one of 4 that he owns there) and named after his daughter. I adopted this recipe and have prepared it just as written using recipe #66029. The flavors of the asparagus, leek and swiss really shine in this tart.

Steps:
- Directions: Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Bring a pot of water to the boil and blanch the asparagus a few minutes until just barely cooked.
- Drain and immediately plunge the asparagus in a bowl of ice water.
- Drain again and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a saute pan or skillet over medium heat and add the julienned leeks.
- Saute a few minutes then cover and turn the heat to low and slowly cook leeks until soft, stirring occasionally, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Set aside to cool.
- Sprinkle half the Swiss and half the parmesan cheeses over the bottom of the prebaked tart shell.
- Evenly spread the leeks and asparagus in the shell.
- Sprinkle the vegetables with the herbs and the rest of the Swiss and parmesan.
- In a bowl, using a whisk, beat the eggs, yolks, cream, salt and pepper.
- Pour the custard over the filling ingredients.
- (Tip: it's easier to fill the tart without spilling over the edge if you put half the custard in a Pyrex measuring cup and pour it into the tart when the tart is already in the oven.) Place the tart on a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until puffed and golden and the custard is set.
- (You can check by inserting the tip of a small knife into the center of the tart. It should be soft but not runny.) Remove the tart from the oven, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
