Caramelized Onion, Olive and Goat's Cheese Tart

Makes 2

2 Tablespoons olive oil
4 brown onions, sliced
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
salt and cracked black pepper
1/2 cup kalamata olives
100g goats cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon lemon thyme leaves
2 sheets puff pastry, defrosted

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Then add the onions and cook for 10 minutes or until they soften.

Add the brown sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper and continue cooking for another five minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

Preheat oven to 210 C. Scatter onions over the defrosted pastry, leaving a 3cm border. Top the onions with the olives and the goats cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and puffed. Then scatter with thyme and serve the tart warm.
