Tomato and Basil Tarts
- 1 Recipe puff pastry
- 1 Recipe tomato coulis
- 6 medium tomatoes vine ripened
- 3 tablespoons basil shredded
- 1 x vegetable oil
- 1 x salt and black pepper
- Quickly roll out the pastry and cut out six 4-5" rounds.
- Place rounds on a thick baking sheet and sprinkle with a little cold water.
- Place baking sheet in freezer until ready to assemble and bake tarts.
- Slice the tomatoes and lay them on paper towels for thirty minutes to drain off excess moisture.
- This will prevent the tarts from being soggy.
- One half hour before serving, preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Take the baking sheet from the freezer and spread a layer of Thick Tomato Coulis over the pastry rounds leaving 1/2 inch rim around the edge.
- Arrange the drained tomato slices over the coulis and scatter with shredded basil.
- Sprinkle with salt and some freshly grated black pepper then drizzle with oil.
- Immediately place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
