I think it is probably them years since I last posted. A lot has happened in that time - but mainly that our twins were born in 2016 - and my cooking for enjoyment definitely took a backseat.
This one was inspired by a post on facebook from ‘A bowl of stew’. One of those one minute posts - but I saved this one and kept coming back to it.
The tomatoes were a Lidl special - I think I might have been better using bigger ones - but I love the colour in this one.
I did not change anything from the original post - other than cooking a bit longer on the hob before putting in the oven - and using hot honey rather than standard.
Served with a green salad - this was a really
1 tbsp oil oil for frying
4-5 tomatoes, or more smaller
2-3 shallots
2 cloves garlic - sliced thinly
Salt and black pepper
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp hot honey
Small bunch basil
1 sheet puff pastry - cut to size of pan
To Garnish:
Basil leaves
Crumbled feta
Balsamic glaze
1. Slice the tomatoes and shallots so that they are all roughly the same depth - probably about 2cm. Fry in a pan with the olive oil over a medium heat and a big pinch of salt for 5 minutes.
2. Add the garlic, black pepper, honey and balsamic vinegar and cook for another 5 minutes without stirring.
3. Take off the heat and add the basil and then cover with the puff pastry.
4. Fork that pastry all over, tuck in the edges with a spoon and then put in the oven at 190 for 25 minutes.
5.Leave to rest of 5 minutes, make sure the edges are not stuck to the pan, and then flip onto a plate.
6. Garnish with the remaining basil leaves, crumbled feta, and finish with a drizzle of the balsamic glaze.
Insanely good
