Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 40 mins
- Cut the pastry to make 4 square tarts. Put on baking parchment and put in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and put in two large baking sheets. Cut the broccoli into pieces and blanch for 2 minutes in salted boiling water. Rinse in cold water and drain well. Heat a non-stick pan with 1 tbsp olive oil and fry the sausage, fennel seeds, and chillies until the sausage is browned all over.
- Keep each pastry square on the parchment paper and sprinkle the broccoli over the pastry leaving a 2cm border. Divide the sausage, Parmesan and tomato between the tarts. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and slide the tarts off the paper onto the hot trays. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden. In the last couple of minutes of cooking, top each tart with mozzarella and let melt. Remove from the oven and scatter the basil over. Serve while warm.
Know-how
Blanching purple sprouting broccoli before using helps to keep the bright green colour. Other greens like spring greens or spinach work well here too.
