Ingredients
-
320 grams
puff pastry
-
2 tablespoons
butter
-
3
red onions
-
500 grams
small tomatoes, mix of colours and types
-
quarter cups
sugar
-
3 tablespoons
water
-
200 grams
goats cheese, crumbled
-
1 handful
basil
Directions
-
Melt the butter in a pan and add the onions, finely sliced, and a pinch of sugar.
-
Fry for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelised and soft.
-
Add 2 tbsp of water to deglaze and stir until reduced and thickened and set aside.
-
In an oven-proof pan add the sugar and water and cook until melted and amber in colour.
-
Do not stir the pan but shake it gently to dissolve.
-
Add the vinegar and gently shake the pan to incorporate the vinegar into the caramel.
-
Add the olives and turn off the heat.
-
Add the tomatoes spreading them evenly in a single layer.
-
Spread the caramelised onions over the layer of tomatoes.
-
Roll out the pastry so it is 3 mm or one eighth of an inch thick and place over the onions, tucking the edges into the sides so that when it is inverted it will be concave-shaped.
-
With a knife, make a few small holes in the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
-
Bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes then allow to cool for 5 minutes before inverting it quickly but carefully onto a serving dish.
-
Scatter crumbled goats cheese and basil leaves onto the top and serve.
