Ingredients

8	tablespoons	butter	softened
3	ounces	cream cheese	softened
1	cup	whole wheat flour	sifted
2/3	cups	pecans	chopped
1	each	egg
3/4	cups	brown sugar
1	tablespoon	butter	softened
1	teaspoon	vanilla extract
1/8	teaspoon	salt

Directions

Prehead oven to 325 F. Mix together the butter and cream cheese in a small bowl or food processor. Add the flour and blend thoroughly. Divide and shape into 30 balls. Wrap all 30 balls together in plastic wrap and chill slightly. Place each ball in a tiny ungreased fluted tart pan or muffin cup. Line the pans by pressing the dough with your fingertips against the bottoms and sides.

For the filling, place half the pecans in the dough-lined pan. Beat together the egg, sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt until all lumps are gone. Pour the egg mixture onto the pecan topped dough.

Dot with the remaining pecans. Bake for 25 minutes or until the filling is set. Cool 5 minutes on a rack and remove from the pans before they are cool, as the caramel will set. These tiny tarts freeze easily.

Delicious and easy. I had these Pecan Tassies at a Christmas party last nite. With all of the sweets on the table, this was, by far, the best thing there! The lady who made them said they are very easy. It's 8am and I've already put the ingredients on my grocery list. Merry Christmas from Trish

Ceviche

You've probably gotten this message already: Don't drain the lime juice!!! Ceviche is not Mexican, it's Ibero-American. It's also consumed in Spain and Southern France and there is even a variant in the Philippines (as a Spanish import). The Japanese love it too. For example, Nobu, the famed NYC & London Japanese food restaurant carries it. Peruvians are perhaps best known for taking Ceviche to an art form (quality, variety, presentation) and as a national symbol. There are over 20 varieties of Ceviche in Peru alone. From the humble Seabass (corvina) to Mixto (varied seafood ingredients, all marinated in lime, which they call "limon"), to Ceviche de Paiche, a Sturgeon-like fish that lives in the Amazon river basin. Chileans and Ecuatorians also take pride in their many varieties and their Ceviche-making tradition. You might be interested in putting all of them as a sub-section. Truly yours, Alexis Valencia.
