Method

  1. Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan until the butter has melted. Cook the onion over a medium heat for about 10 minutes until beautifully golden, stirring often. Stir in the sugar and cook for another couple of minutes. Tip the onion and juices into a bowl and set aside. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C.
  2. For the pastry, rub the butter into the flour to make fine crumbs. Stir in the parmesan, thyme and a pinch of salt. Add the egg yolk and 2 tbsp cold water, then mix to make a dough. Wrap in cling film.
  3. For the tomatoes, heat the butter and oil in a 20cm tart tatin tin on the hob until quite hot. Stir in the sugar and garlic, then put in the plum tomatoes cut-side down with a few thyme sprigs, and sizzle for no more than 1 minute. Scatter in the whole cherry tomatoes and tuck in a bit more thyme. Take off the heat and spread the onions on top. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Roll out the pastry until it's slightly bigger than the top of the tin. Lay it over the onions and tuck any excess down the sides.
  5. Bake on a baking sheet for 25 minutes until golden. Cool for 5 minutes, invert a plate over the top and upturn the tart onto it. Scatter with extra thyme and black pepper.

    This was really good, I loved the pastry which was a bit like a cross between a pastry and a dough being made with the self raising flour, loved it and will definitely make again!

    Added some sun dried tomato strips & used cheddar in the pastry as hadn't got any parmesan. Scrummy. Even my daughter liked it and she doesn't like tomatoes!

    Have been making this on and off since 2002 (still have the page torn out from the magazine). Add some sundried tomatoes as well. Always a great success.

    Likewise, I don�t have a tatin tin, so I cooked the ingredients in a frying pan and then stacked them up in a sponge tin. When I turned it out it was just like the picture. I used whatever tomatoes where growing in the garden and served it with green salad and a potato tortilla. Went down well as lunch for friends, it wasn�t so good the next day though, so make it and eat it.
