Ingredients

4-5 tbsp olive oil
1-1/4 lb red onions, sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tbsp chopped fresh mixed herbs, such as thyme, parsley and basil
8 oz ready-made puff pastry
1 tbsp sun-dried tomato paste
black pepper
thyme sprigs, to garnish

Method

  1. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a pan and add the onions and garlic. Cover and cook gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft but not browned. Stir in the herbs.
  2. Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F.
  3. Divide the pastry into four equal pieces and roll out each one to a 6-inch round. Flute the edges and prick all over with a fork. Place on baking sheets and chill for 10 minutes.
  4. Mix 1 tbsp of the remaining olive oil with the sun-dried tomato paste and brush over the centres of the rounds, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  5. Spread the onion mixture over the pastry rounds and grind over plenty of pepper. Drizzle over a little more oil, then bake for about 15 minutes, until the pastry is crisp and golden. Serve hot, garnished with thyme sprigs.

Makes 4 servings.
