Caramelised onion tartlets

Ingredients

• 1 sheet frozen reduced-fat puff pastry, thawed
• Oil spray
• 2 red onions, thinly sliced
• 3 tsp balsamic vinegar
• ½ tsp dried thyme or oregano
• 30g goat's cheese, crumbled
• Sprigs of fresh thyme
• Cracked pepper

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
2. Heat a heavy-based frying pan over medium heat and spray generously with oil. Add onions and cook for 30-40 minutes over very low heat or until the onion mixture is thick and brown. Add vinegar and dried herbs and cook for a further 3 minutes. Adjust seasoning.
3. Meanwhile, cut the pastry into 4x4 squares to create 16 tarts. Using a sharp knife, score the edge of each tart ½cm from the edge, making sure not to cut all the way through. Prick the base of each tart with a fork 3-4 times. Place on oven tray and cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Spread each tart with the onion mixture and scatter with goat's cheese, a sprig of fresh thyme and season with black pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
