Cooking Features
Choosing the recipe for cooking tartlets with caviar, the hostess can stay on proven options created by experienced chefs, or come up with a unique snack. Knowing the basic rules that make tartlets with caviar, she will not make mistakes, and guests will almost certainly be satisfied with the food.
- Tartlets are small baskets filled with snacks. They are made from different types of dough, there are different sizes. Tartlets of small or medium size, made from unsweetened shortcrust pastry, are suitable for caviar. If the filling is simple, consists only of caviar and any one product, it is advisable to choose the smallest tartlets. If the filling is multi-layered, you can take a little larger baskets, but still small.
- Tartlets are not a deficit, they can be purchased in many stores, but some hostesses prefer to make them personally. If you are not new to cooking, you can also bake baskets for caviar snacks without much difficulty.
- Tartlets can be made not only with red caviar, but also with black and with pollock and cod caviar. The taste and cost of such snacks will vary, but this does not mean that pollock roe tartlets will not be good enough to decorate a festive table.
- Caviar goes well with butter and other oily products that can serve as the basis for the filling. You can add them to vegetables and seafood, eggs and herbs. Red and black caviar is usually not mixed with the filling, but spread over it. A layer of caviar can be dense or rare, sometimes they put a small spoonful of caviar in the center of the tartlet, leaving the edges free. Caviar of pollock and cod can be mixed with a filling or put a separate layer.
- When buying caviar you should pay attention to the place and time of its production. If the product is made on the territory located far from the habitats of salmon, and also if it is made in winter, then the caviar before salting is almost certainly subjected to freezing. It will be more watery and not too tasty.
- Tartlets can be made not with natural, but with artificial caviar, but their taste will differ not for the better. Such a replacement is highly undesirable.
- The filler for tartlets should not be too liquid so that it cannot soak the dough.
Tartlets with caviar are served at the table immediately after cooking or after a short cooling. Such storage is not subject to long storage.
