60g cashew nuts
A handful of viola flowers
20g micro basil
20g salmon caviar
10 tart shells

Method

Make the Pesto: In a food processor or blender, combine the basil leaves, canned green peas and cashew nuts. Gradually add the olive oil while blending until the mixture becomes a smooth pesto consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
Assembly of Mini Tart Shells: Spoon the prepared pesto mixture into each tart shell, filling them to the top. Thinly slice the smoked salmon into strips or pieces. Place 2 pieces of smoked salmon on top of the pesto in each tart shell, arranging them decoratively.
Garnish: Top each tart with a small dollop of salmon caviar (salmon eggs). Garnish the tarts with micro basil leaves and viola flowers to add colour and freshness.
Serving: Arrange the assembled and garnished tartlets on a serving platter. Serve immediately as an appetiser or a light snack.
