Quick tomato tart

Well it's quick if you haven't got to make the pastry....

I used a pre-rolled pack of supermarket puff pastry, but you can make your own, though it's a bit of a faff, and there are some good vegan puff pastry recipes.

4 large tomatoes, sliced
1 tablespoon soya cream
oregano
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper



  1. Pre-heat the oven to 200C.

  2. Place the rolled out sheet of pastry on to a baking sheet, or better still, to get really even cooking and a nice crispy base, use one of those wire ones sold to cook oven chips on.

  3. Brush the surface with cream up to 1 cm from the edge.

  4. Sprinkle the cream with oregano.

  5. Lay the slices tomatoes over the cream to just cover the pastry.

  6. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the tomatoes, sprinkle with balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper (I use sea salt and black pepper)

  7. Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

  8. Cool on a wire rack so that the base stays crispy.

  9. Transfer to a plate when cool, cut up with a pizza wheel.

  10. Chomp, enjoy the taste and the juices running down your chin.


Yummy.

PS I do have knitting content to blog, honest.....
