Preparation Method :
- Sift the flour and polenta into a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt and cayenne. Add the herbs then rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the water to form a smooth dough. Cover with cling-film and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness. Cut out 8 x 12.5 cm / 5 inch circles, using the trimmings to make up the required amount.
- Use to line 8 fluted 100 cm/4 inch diameter greased tart tins, pressing the dough well into the edges. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 200°C/ 400°F/gas mark 6 for 20 minutes until slightly golden.
- Meanwhile, steam the asparagus, baby sweetcorn and carrots over boiling water for 5 minutes until only just tender. Reserve the asparagus tips as a garnish and cut the stalks and the sweetcorn into 1 cm/ ½ inch slices.
- Stir-fry the mushrooms in the oil for 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Add the stock and bring to the boil. Add the cornflour and stir until thickened. Add the chives and lemon juice then gently stir in the asparagus stalks, sweetcorn and carrots. Simmer for 1 minute to heat through. Check the seasoning.
- Spoon the mixture into the tartlet cases and garnish with the reserved asparagus tips. Serve immediately.
