Chop onions. Melt butter in a saucepan and add leeks and onions. Simmer very gently on low heat with lid on for 15 to 20 minutes. Add chopped spinach, chives, the cayenne and 8 tablespoons of the cream. Simmer, uncovered, to reduce in volume. Check for seasoning. Add the pine nuts and fill the tart shells with this warm filling. Whip the remaining cream and top each tart with a dab of whipped cream. Slip the tarts under the broiler for a minute being careful not to scorch them. Alternative directions for cooking the filling in the microwave: Combine the chopped leeks, onions and butter in a large Pyrex container. Cover with plastic wrap and cook on High for 10 to 15 minutes. Add spinach, chives, 4 tablespoons of cream and the cayenne. Cover and cook on Med/High for 5 minutes. Proceed with regular recipe. Hallie's comment: this recipe is from 1986 and microwave ovens tend to be much higher in power these days so you may wish to adjust the cooking time and power level to suit the microwave you are using. Makes two dozen 1 1/2-inch tarts. "These delicious appetizers can be made ahead and slipped under the broiler at the last minute." The tart shells used in this recipe were a pate brisee recipe but I don't see why you can't use regular unsweetened tart shells either from your favourite pastry recipe or even store bought. They were baked at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden. From Recipes Only magazine Nov/Dec 1986. MC format by Hallie. Untried.
