What Sup: Butternut and caramalised onion tarts

These could be served as a starter or made larger for a main portion.
you will need rolled puff pastry, cut into squares( you could experiment with size and shape of pastry to put your own creative touch on the dish). Place squares 2 cm apart in oven proof nonstick dish.  Use a fork to squash the edges and form a crust.

In the middle of the pastry place cooked butternut (this can be cooked in microwave while you work with the pastry). I used a little nutmeg, salt and rosemary to flavour butternut. In a pan fry up one large onion in butter till brown add a little brown sugar and remove from heat when it starts to caramelise. Place onions in centre of pastry with the butternut. Cover the top with a white sauce and bake at 200 degrees for 20 min.
White sauce: 1tbs butter, 1 tbs flour, half cup of milk season with salt, garlic and black pepper.
Melt butter and add flour to form paste. Add the milk and heat. Stir till in sauce thickens and pour over the butternut and onion before baking.
