Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then gently fry the onions for about 10 mins until golden and soft. Add the sugar and balsamic vinegar, then cook for a further 5 mins until the juices are reduced and syrupy. Leave to cool.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry onto a baking tray. Score a line a finger-width in from the edge all the way around, then cover the middle with the onion mix. Scatter the feta and olives over. Season and drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the topping.
  3. Bake for 15 mins or until the pastry is risen and golden and the base is crisp. Cut into wedges and serve with a green salad.

Extra onions

Why not make double the amount of onions and keep half in a jar in the fridge - perfect with cheese and cold meats or for adding a sticky sweetness to gravy the next time you have sausages and mash.

    After reading all the comments before I made this I adapted it slightly. I doubled the amount of onions, omitted the sugar as it was bound to be too sweet for me with that amount of sugar in it...but I did put in two teaspoons of redcurrant jelly. Caramalised the onions really well before putting them on the tart. Put some grated cheese on the pastry base before putting on the onions to help them stick. Didn't put olives on ...I love them but no-one else does so not worth putting them on just to be picked off!! Used feta but next time will use goats cheese as does need something sharpe to cut through the sweetness of the onions. It was yummy. Went down really well. Tasty warm and cold. Definately make it again.

    Made this as a starter for a dinner party and it went down a storm! Left the olives off (as I dont like them) & didnt put sugar in, but would definitely make again, possibly adding sundried tomato or bacon? Yum!

    Tasty recipe, but the onions were definitely not enough to cover my pastry. Next time, I'll add another one...or two!

    I've just cooked this but I made individual tarts for a party next week. They are delish! I think they'll go down well. I was a bit disapointed that the feta doesn't melt. Maybe next time I'll try goats cheese.

    Bit disapointed in this recipe. Next time will try mozzarella as this will melt unlike the feta. And will use less sugar next. I have a sweet tooth but not that sweet !
