Tomato, Olive and Onion Tarte Tatin Recipe by Jeremy Walker.

Ingredients

45 ml butter 
15 ml brown sugar 
15 ml balsamic vinegar 
200 g baby or pickling onions ('if big, cut in half')
2 punnets of Rosa tomatoes ('if big, cut in half) 
160 g olives, de-pipped
5 ml finely chopped fresh thyme 
5 ml finely chopped fresh origanum 
salt and freshly ground black pepper 
1 x 400 g roll ready-made puff pastry 
1 round of feta cheese 
fresh rocket or basil leaves

Recipe

Serves 4-6 

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. 

In a deep, medium-sized pan over medium heat, melt the butter, sugar, and balsamic vinegar together. Add the onions and fry for 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes and olives and cook for another minute. Transfer to a pie dish spread out evenly, and season with herbs, salt, and pepper. Roll out the pastry and cut it into a round just bigger than the pie dish. Cover the mix with the pastry round, pushing it gently into the sides without leaving any hanging over the edge. 

Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Allow to cool a little and then loosen the edges with a knife before turning out onto a shallow serving platter. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and garnish with fresh leaves ('rocket or basil is delicious'). 

Wine Pairing

Grangehurst Cape Rose Blend
