Ingredients

  • 2 tbs olive oil

  • 1 tbs brown sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 8 roma tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 tbs balsamic vinegar
  • 2 sheets canola puff pastry, reduced fat
  • 2 cups rocket leaves

Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a frypan. Add onion and simmer over a low heat for 20 minutes to sweat. Add vinegar, sugar and salt and simmer a further 15 minutes until golden and soft. Set aside.

  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.

  4. Step 4

    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.
