Tarte Tatin aux Tomates

Tarte Tatin aux Tomates is a delightful twist on the classic French upside-down tart, featuring caramelized tomatoes nestled in a flaky vegan pastry. This savory dish showcases the rich flavors of ripe tomatoes, herbs, and a hint of balsamic vinegar, making it a perfect centerpiece for any meal.

Ingredients

• Cherry tomatoes - 250 grams
• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Vegan butter - 75 grams
• Cold water - 50 ml
• Balsamic vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh basil - 10 grams (chopped)
• Garlic - 1 clove (minced)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the vegan butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add cold water gradually and mix until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
4. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add the cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, black pepper, and chopped basil. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened and the mixture is fragrant.
6. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out into a circle slightly larger than your skillet.
7. In a 20 cm (8 inch) oven-safe skillet, arrange the cooked tomatoes evenly, cut side up. Pour any remaining liquid from the skillet over the tomatoes.
8. Carefully place the rolled-out pastry over the tomatoes, tucking the edges down the sides of the skillet.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
10. Let cool for a few minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
