TOMATO AND BASIL TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the tomatoes in the skillet with the vegetable oil, salt and pepper, and honey or sugar. Arrange together as tightly as possible. Sprinkle the tomatoes with the bread crumbs - this will soak up some of the juice which come out of the tomatoes during cooking. On a well-floured counter, roll out a circle of puff pastry the same size as the top of the skillet. Place the puff pastry over the tomatoes, tucking it around them so the tomatoes are encased. Brush the pastry with the lightly beaten egg on the top only. It does seem a bit pointless, as this will be the underneath of the tart, but I like that bit of extra crunch that it adds to the pastry and it looks so much more presentable for that minute before you turn it upside down!
• Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is well puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes, then tip away the excess liquid (if any) and put a large plate upside down on top of the skillet. Using oven gloves, press the plate down hard and then quickly flip the whole thing so the skillet is upside down and the plate is on the bottom. I do this over the sink because there is usually some leakage! Remove the skillet. Once the tart is cold, rip up some basil or mint leaves and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper if required. Serve cold with cold meats, cheeses, olives, or salads.

TOMATO TART WITH BASIL CRUST

Steps:

• To make the crust, place the tomato paste, basil, butter, egg, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides. Add 1/2 cup of flour and process just until incorporated. Add the remaining flour and pulse just until dough is crumbly. Press the dough together with your hands. Divide in half and shape each piece into a rectangle that is 3 or 4 inches wide. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough to a rectangle slightly larger than 12 by 5 inches. Trim to 12 by 5, preferably using a fluted pastry cutter. Place side by side on the baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour before baking.
• To make the filling, place the cream of wheat in a bowl. Bring the tomato juice to a boil and whisk into the cereal. Stir in the Parmesan. Mix in the oil, vinegar, garlic and celery. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the baking sheet and bake the crusts until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
• To serve, preheat the broiler. Spread half of the filling over each crust. Overlap the tomatoes in rows over the filling. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over each one. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Place 4 inches under the heat source and broil until the cheese is browned and the tarts are heated through, about 5 minutes, watching carefully. Slice into 4 or 6 servings, sprinkle with basil and serve immediately.
