Servings: persons

1 Butter, for greasing
250 g (8.8oz) Ready-made puff pastry
1 Plain flour, for dusting
1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar, plus extra to serve
12 Sun-dried tomatoes from a jar, drained
85 g (3oz) Goat's cheese, sliced
100 g (3.5oz) Rocket leaves, to serve
1 pinch Sea salt
1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp Olive oil, to serve
4 tbsp Olive oil
0.5 Onion, chopped
2 Garlic cloves
1 Large tomato, chopped
1 Thyme sprig
1 tbsp Reduced balsamic vinegar

1
To make the tomato base, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat.
2
Add the onion and garlic and cook, partially covered, for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
3
Add the tomato, thyme and the remaining olive oil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 35-40 minutes, stirring often to avoid browning or burning the tomato.
4
If the mire gets too dry, add a few tablespoons of water.
5
Stir in the reduced balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
6
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4 and grease a 20cm/8in tart tin with butter.
7
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until it is about 3mm/1/ 8 in thick and 25cm/10in in diameter.
8
Line the tin with the pastry, taking care not to stretch it.
9
Press down gently to push out any bubbles and roll the rolling pin along the top edge of the tin to trim off the excess pastry.
10
Prick the base with a fork and chill for 25-30 minutes.
11
This will prevent the pastry from shrinking during cooking.
12
Place the tart tin on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden.
13
Remove from the oven and do not turn the oven off.
14
Brush the pastry with the balsamic vinegar and then return it to the oven for a further 3 minutes.
15
The vinegar will seal the top of the pastry and ensure that your tart is crunchy.
16
Be careful not to overcook it or it will become dry and bitter.
17
To assemble the tart, remove the thyme sprig from the tomato base and spread the base over the pastry.
18
Arrange the Oven-dried Tomatoes and goat's cheese on top and season with salt and pepper.
19
Place the tart in the oven and bake for 3-4 minutes until the cheese starts to melt, but don't allow it to melt completely.
20
If you want, you can flash it for 2 minutes under a grill, preheated to high, to give it a lovely colour.

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

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
