Tofu and Sesame Mini Tarts

I used to eat tofu a lot when I was a true vegetarian, however have not had it for a long time till I made this recipe.

Tofu can be quite versatile as it can take on the taste of the food you cook it with.

However, it can also be quite bland, and I find many tofu meals need added salt and pepper.

When buying the tofu, make sure it feels firm as even those that are labelled as "firm" are sometimes quite soft, and they crumble in the recipe if soft!

You could probably use a bought pastry however I often like to make my own.

Preparation Time: 25 minutes plus 30 minutes fridge time
