Servings: persons

2 cups plain flour (8 oz)
4 ounces sunflower margarine
1 tablespoon mixed herbs (dried)
1 pinch salt
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons olive oil
grated nutmeg, to taste
1 (14 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon sugar
thyme leaves (from a small sprig)
salt & fresh ground pepper
⅔ cup stoned black olives, sliced (3 oz)
2 tablespoons capers
fresh parsley, chopped, to garnish

1
Pre-heat the oven to 375F, 190 C, gas mark 5.
2
Rub the flour and margarine together until it forms fine crumbs, then mix in the dried mixed herbs and salt; mix to a firm dough with a small amount of cold water (you can make the pastry in your food processor).
3
Roll out the pastry and line a 9 inch flan dish; bake the crust blind for approximately 15-20 minutes, removing the baking beans and paper for the last 5 minutes of coking to allow the pastry to crisp up; when cooked, set aside to cool in the flan dish.
4
Meanwhile gently fry the onions and garlic in the oil for about 10 minutes until soft and transparent; stir in the nutmeg, tomatoes, sugar, thyme and seasoning and simmer gently for 10 minutes until the mixture is reduced and slightly syrupy.
5
Remove from the heat and allow to cool; mix in the olives and capers.
6
When ready to serve, spoon the filling into the flan case, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve at room temperature.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
