Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 sheets puff pastry
• 1 spanish onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 90 g goat cheese
• 2 tomatoes
• 250 g salad leaves
• 1 cucumber

Recipe

• 1 prepare 2 tomatoes (halved) by roasting them in the oven on baking paper, until semi-soft, about 30 minutes.
• 2 in the meantime sauté onions until soft. add 3 tablesspoons of balsamic vinegar and all the sugar and cook until the liquid has reduced and onions are soft and caramelised.
• 3 while onions are cooking cut puff pastry sheets in half to form 4 triangle. trim the triangle by 1cm and place the 1cm strips around the very edge of the triangles to form a 'case' for the filling. use a little cooking spray on the edge to bond the pastry.
• 4 place the puff pastry in the oven and brown very slightly 5-10 minutes (place on rack under the tomatoes).
• 5 arrange saute onions evenly on the semi-cooked pastry. followed by chunks of roasted tomato and goats cheese on top.
• 6 bake at 200ºc in a pre-heated oven for 15 minutes or until pastry is crisp golden.
• 7 toss salad leaves and sliced cucumber with remaining balsmic vinegar (& a little olive oil if desired).
• 8 arrange mixed salad on a plate and position the cooked pastry next to the salad.
• 9 i always add a splash more of the balsmic vinegar to the recipe when serving, as it gives the whole meal a wonderful flavour and compiments the onion and tomato beautifully!
