More tartlet with chicken and asparagus
Tartlet with chicken and asparagus is a classic Danish dish. In Danish, the food is called “tartelettes in chicken asparagus”.
Traditionally, chicken is used instead of chicken, as are fresh white asparagus and Danish tartlet shells.
These are usually served as an appetizer or at a buffet table, but they can also be served as a main course with other dishes.
Where do you buy Danish tartlet shells?
Check at a slightly larger grocery store to see if tartlet shells are sold. I bought “Lukas Tartellator” from the brand “Karen Wolfe”.
How do you store leftover Danish tartlets?
Once you have heated and filled the shells, they are eaten immediately.
If you are not sure that everything will be eaten, do not fill the shells with the chicken and asparagus filling. Make this when it’s time to eat, it’s quick to heat up and fill the shells.
Store the unused tartlet balls in a dry and cool place (at room temperature) and store the remaining fillings in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.
Eat 1-2 a day.
