The Recipe

Step 1

In a large oven proof frying pan heat the butter, sugar, balsamic on a medium heat until the butter has fully melted and the sugar had dissolved. Now add the tomatoes and season with a good pinch of salt. Cooked for around 5 minutes until the tomatoes have started to pop to release their juices. Remove the tomatoes and reduce the liquid down to at least half, and is of a caramel consistency.

Step 2

Add the sliced garlic, thyme leaves and re-add the tomatoes to the pan.

Cut the pre-rolled puff pastry into a large circle, a couple inches larger than the pan you are using. Lay the pastry over the tomatoes and tuck the edges around the tomatoes. Poke a couple of holes into the pastry to allow the steam to escape.

Step 3

Bake in the oven for 30-35 mins until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 mins. Then run a knife around the edge of the pan, place a large round plate on top of the pan and carefully flip out the tart. Cover with few fresh basil leaves and cracked black pepper.
