Servings 6 small tarts

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large Shallots finely chopped
  • 1 large clove of garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tbsp White wine vinegar
  • 5 Really ripe tomatoes peeled and quartered
  • 1 package Ready made puff pastry
  • 6 Plum tomatoes sliced in thick slices
  • 1 Goat’s 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.
