eight minutes until well risen and golden.

sized pieces. Finely slice the garlic and add with the mushrooms. Fry for
34 minutes until cooked and golden.

5 Roughly chop the parsley, add half with the balsamic vinegar and cook for
a minute. Season with salt and pepper, and reserve. Place the goat's cheese
in a small bowl, add the remaining parsley and mix well. Season with
pepper.

6 Remove the pastry from the oven. Carefully cut round the inner rectangle

Return the pastry case to the oven for another 45 minutes until cooked
through and golden.

in half and add to the pan with the lemon zest and a squeeze of juice. Mix

Remove the tarts from the oven, spoon in the goat's cheese and top with the
warm mushrooms. Transfer to a plate and serve with the salad.
