Introduction :

This is a lovely, very savoury, tart delicious served with green herb mayonnaise.

Eat it as a starter, for lunch, or as part of a picnic. The tart can be prepared entirely in advance and cooked just before required.

For a larger tart to serve 10 - 12 people simply double the quantities and use the large size (11”) Silverwood dish.

Method :

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and add the onions and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated and the onions are caramelised. This will take at least 15 minutes. Add the Balsamic vinegar just before the end of cooking. The onions should be very soft, thick and jam-like. Set aside.
2. Grease and line the bottom of an 8” tarte tatin dish, other ovenproof dish or frying pan with a disc of greaseproof or magic paper. Arrange the tomatoes on top. Scatter with the tarragon, followed by the cheese, thinly sliced, and finally the onions.
3. Cut a disc of pastry just larger than the tin and lay it on top of the onions, tucking the edges down the sides. Prick with a fork and cook for 15-20 mins or until golden and puffed up.
4. Rest for a few minutes before turning out onto a flat round plate or board. Replace any pieces of tomato that get left behind. Decorate with basil or rocket. Serve warm or cold.
