  • 1 tbs balsamic vinegar
  • 2 sheets canola puff pastry, reduced fat
  • 2 cups rocket leaves

Method

  1. Step 1

  2. Step 2

    Place tomatoes on a lined baking tray. Brush with balsamic vinegar and bake in a slow oven, 150°C for 20 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Score a border around the pastry leaving a 2cm edge. Spread caramelised onion over sheets of pastry within the border. Arrange tomatoes over top.

    Bake in a hot oven, 200°C for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden and puffed. Serve topped with rocket.

Tips

  • Roma tomatoes are oval shaped tomatoes that are available in the fresh vegetables section of the supermarket.
  • If roma tomatoes are not available any variety of red tomato may be used in this tart.
  • Why not try making mini tarts. Cut your pastry sheet into four equal squares and divide the topping up equally between each one.
