Red Cabbage Tarts

Red Cabbage Tarts

Linda Larsen
I love this recipe for these individual little tarts. The creamy cheese, crisp-tender cabbage and sweet red onion blend so well with the corned beef and the flaky pastry. You can omit the corned beef entirely for a nice vegetarian entree.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 55 minutes

Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 crust pastry recipe
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 large head red cabbage, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 cup cooked cubed corned beef or ham
  • 1 cup cubed Swiss or Havarti cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Prepare pie crust and divide dough into four pieces. Roll out each between waxed paper into 7" rounds. Fit each into a 4" tart ring, or simply put the crusts on two cookie sheets. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Saute onion in olive oil in a large skillet until soft. Then add cabbage, vinegar, honey, and water. Cover pan and simmer for 10 minutes, until cabbage is soft, stirring frequently. Then uncover pan and cook for 5-8 minutes longer on medium high heat, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed.

Divide half of the cabbage mixture evenly among the pastry circles. If you aren't using the tart rings, just mound the mixture in the center of the circles of pastry. Divide the corned beef evenly onto the cabbage mixture. Sprinkle with Gruyere cheese cubes and grated Parmesan cheese, and top with remaining cabbage mixture. Fold crust edges over the top of the cabbage mixture, pleating to form a ruffled edge. Bake tarts at 425 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Remove tart rings and serve.

Wow, this recipe is GOOD! I left out the corned beef because I don't really like it, and we ate every single crumb. The flaky pastry, the tender cabbage, and rich flavor are just fabulous.
