Ingredients
Pastry:
225 ml cake flour
2.5 ml salt
125 ml cold butter, chopped
125 ml LANCEWOOD® Cheddar, finely grated
3 egg yolks
30 ml ice cold water
Caramelized tomatoes:
125 ml Huletts caramel sugar
60 ml white balsamic vinegar
30 ml fresh thyme leaves
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
250 ml cherry tomatoes, halved
Tart:
200 ml Spekko parboiled rice, cooked
230 g LANCEWOOD® Medium Fat Roasted Onion Cream Cheese
Fresh basil sprigs to garnish
Method
Pastry:
Place the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in the LANCEWOOD® Cheddar. Add the egg yolks and mix together to form a dough adding a little cold water if the mixture becomes too dry. The pastry should come together in a ball. Wrap the pastry in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Caramelized tomatoes:
In a pan, combine the sugar and balsamic vinegar and stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer and cook until thick and syrupy. Add the thyme, salt and pepper and tomatoes and remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
Tart:
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Roll out the pastry into a ring large enough to fit a 20 cm tart tin. Drape the pastry over the tin to line it. Poke the pastry surface with a fork. Top with a generous layer of Spekko parboiled rice and bake for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden and crisp. Spread the LANCEWOOD® Medium Fat Roasted Onion Cream Cheese over the baked pastry and top with the caramelized tomatoes. Garnish with basil springs before serving.
