Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 500g pack ready-made puff pastry
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 small garlic clove , crushed
  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 6 large plum tomatoes

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to fan 200C/conventional 220C/gas 7. Divide the pastry into six pieces and roll out each piece on a floured surface to make a 15cm round. Place the pastry rounds on two or three non-stick baking sheets.
  • Mix the chopped mint and coriander in a small bowl with the crushed garlic, olive oil, cayenne pepper and 1⁄4 tsp salt.
  • Trim away the top and the bottom of each tomato, then cut the rest of each tomato into 4 thin slices. Spread a dessertspoon of the herb mixture over each pastry round, leaving a narrow margin of pastry uncovered. Arrange slices of tomato, overlapping, on each tart and sprinkle the remaining herb mixture on top. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake the tarts for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden. Serve while still hot.
