This Seafood "Chilli Jam" Tart can be made as one big tart, baby tartlets or the filling can be used in vol au vants too. The fiery flavour of the chilli jam is slightly muted but still has a perfect ummani kick, against the creaminess of the the faux bechamel, made with milk and corn flour. You can use any type of seafood, a pure prawn tart would be absolutely delicious too.
