I’ve been making this tomato tart for years. It’s my most requested recipe — it’s super simple to make and tastes incredible. It’s perfect for a buffet, lunch, or picnic. Just add a few store cupboard ingredients and voilà! It costs £9.24, which is £1.54 per person.

Serves 6. prep time 10 minutes, cooking time 25-30 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp olive oil
150g sliced red onions
Salt & black pepper
1 tbsp of brown sugar
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
1 sheet of puff pastry
1 beaten free-range egg, to glaze
990g cherry tomatoes, halved
Fresh anchovies
Basil leaves thinly sliced
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Heat the oil in a shallow pan over medium heat, then add the onion and season.
Once the onions soften, add the brown sugar, garlic, and balsamic vinegar.
Keep stirring, then add a splash of water to dissolve the sugar.
When the onions are caramelised, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
Grease a baking sheet and roll out the pastry.
Use a sharp knife to make cuts, 4cm in from each edge.
Brush the outside of the pastry with egg and sprinkle with sea salt.
Spread the onions in the middle of the pastry, leaving a 4cm border all around.
Top with the cherry tomatoes and bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden around the edges.
Finally, top with anchovies and basil, serve and enjoy.
