Hot fillings for puff pastry tartlets

These little pastries are all about using ingredients at hand, so when you have food left over (fish pie, beef stew, chicken in sauce) don’t waste it – freeze it. Defrost, cut into smaller pieces and fill your pastries with it. What could be more lovely than a mini, homemade beef pie as a finger snack with a large glass of red wine? Fill them ahead and line them up on your baking tray to simply pop in the oven when you are ready to serve.
