These finger foods are a bit more laborious to do, but if like me take you to other spinach can amortize the time. La Brisa is much good, now I have bought several molds and I can get different types of tarts. The flavor of red mousse was good but did not make me mad, to get a color similar to red I had to abound with the extract of tomato, perhaps it would be better to make a pepper cream or something else.

100 g soft butter

For the mousse Green
