It’s a long time since this website was behaving itself properly so I’m going to try a very short post (because it’s very frustrating to write a lot and then have it disappear!)
I’m sure you’re wondering “What to do with a glut of tomatoes?”
Well, one thing you could try is tomato tart. You need tomatoes, puff pastry and cheese, mostly
Put your tomatoes in a frying pan with a dash of olive oil, a teaspoon of sugar, black pepper, some herbs if you want. Cherry tomatoes can be left whole ( and look best) but any tomatoes will do, cut to an apprpriate size. Cook over a highish heat for a few minutes to caramelize then set aside.
Roll out a rectangle of puff pastry for your flan base and cut some strips to raise the edges- stick them on with water- you know what I mean, I’m sure. Prick the bottom with a fork and leave in a cool place till you’re ready.
Pre-heat oven 220C/425F/Gas 7
Spread the base of the tart with soft sheese, eg Boursin or a creamy goats cheese, and top with the tomatoes. Bake for about 20 mins or so, until it looks fabulous, sprinkling some parmesan over half way through.
Best served hot with salad.
Lovely .
Now I wanted to include some artistic pictures of tomatoes but the website wouldn’t let me. You could click on the link below to see some if you want. It’s the best I can manage.
