Roast Tomato Tart with Goat’s Cheese
A light and flaky bed of puff pastry smothered in tomato and shallot relish with thick tomato slices and soft melted goat cheese.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large shallot(s) finely chopped
- 1 large garlic clove crushed
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 5 tomatoes really ripe, peeled and quartered
- 1 package puff pastry ready-made
- 6 plum tomato(es) sliced in thick slices
- 1 goat cheese log
- 1 egg beaten for glazing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and very gently sauté the shallots and garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper and add the cumin.
- Add the white wine vinegar and simmer until the volume has reduced by half.
- Add the peeled tomato quarters, cover the pan and simmer until you have a nice thick relish (about 30 mins)
- If the pastry is not pre-rolled, then roll it out to ½ cm thick.
- Cut out 6 rounds using a 12 cm pastry cutter.
- Then carefully cut an inner circle with a 7 cm pastry cutter, but do not cut all the way through.
- Prick the centre with a fork to stop the middle rising.
- Spread a tablespoon of the relish in the centre of each pastry round and place two plum tomato slices on top.
- Brush the borders of the tart with the beaten egg.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
- While the tart is in the oven baking, slice the goat’s cheese log into 6 thick slices, drizzle with honey and place under a hot grill to melt and slightly brown.
- To serve, place a slice of melted goat’s cheese on top of each tart, add a small portion of salad leaves tossed in a light vinaigrette and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
