Ingredients
- 2 large red onions, peeled and finely sliced
- 2 tbs balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbs Olive oil
- 1 tbs brown sugar
- 2 sheets of pre-rolled frozen pie crust, thawed but still cold
- 100 g goat’s cheese
- 3 sprigs of fresh thyme, roughly chopped
- Salt
- Pepper
Preparation
Step 1
♥ Place the onions, olive oil, sugar, balsamic vinegar and 2/3 of the chopped thyme in a large heavy-based pan. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until the onion begin to brown (about 10 minutes).
♥ Adjust the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring often, for about 30 minutes until the onions have reduced down and taken an almost marmalade-like consistency.
♥ Remove from heat and set aside to cool.For the pastry:
♥ Pre-heat the oven to 200˚C.
♥ Using a round cookie cutter, stamp out 12 circles from each pastry sheet.
♥ Divide the onion jam amongst the pastry cases and top with a piece of goat’s cheese (or you can add the cheese later if you prefer it fresh rather than melted).
♥ Garnish with the rest of the chopped thyme and serve.
♥ Makes approx 24 mini tartlets.
