Goats Cheese & Caramelised Onion Tart
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 90 g goat cheese
- 2 tomatoes
- 250 g salad leaves
- 1 cucumber
- Prepare 2 tomatoes (halved) by roasting them in the oven on baking paper, until semi-soft, about 30 minutes.
- In the meantime saute onions until soft.
- Add 3 tablesspoons of balsamic vinegar and all the sugar and cook until the liquid has reduced and onions are soft and caramelised.
- While onions are cooking cut puff pastry sheets in half to form 4 triangle.
- Trim the triangle by 1cm and place the 1cm strips around the very edge of the triangles to form a 'case' for the filling.
- Use a little cooking spray on the edge to bond the pastry.
- Place the puff pastry in the oven and brown very slightly 5-10 minutes (place on rack under the tomatoes).
- Arrange saute onions evenly on the semi-cooked pastry.
- followed by chunks of roasted tomato and goats cheese on top.
- Bake at 200 degrees C in a pre-heated oven for 15 minutes or until pastry is crisp golden.
- Toss salad leaves and sliced cucumber with remaining balsmic vinegar (& a little olive oil if desired).
- Arrange mixed salad on a plate and position the cooked pastry next to the salad.
- I always add a splash more of the balsmic vinegar to the recipe when serving, as it gives the whole meal a wonderful flavour and compiments the onion and tomato beautifully!
