Arrange across the lined tray.Press your thumb into the centre of each dough ball, pushing the sides outwards and pinching the edges to form a mini tart shape.Transfer to the fridge to set and firm for 20 minutes whilst you prepare the filling.Add all the filling ingredients to a food processor and blend to form a thick paste.Add the pine nuts to a dry frying pan over a low/medium heat and toast for a minute or two until lightly golden all over.Remove the chilled pastry cases from the fridge and spoon a heaped teaspoon of the tomato and olive paste into each one.Scatter the tartlets with the toasted pine nuts and fresh basil to serve.NotesKeep the tartlets chilled before serving.Share this
