  This tart is really quick to make and I'm not sure it deserves its 'moderately easy' rating as it's actually very straight forward. Serve it with a green salad and it's a brilliant veggie centrepiece. I cannot wait to make this again - it's really delicious.

  I made this as a starter for a dinner party a few weeks ago. Everyone sung its' and my praises. It is such a simple, yet effective recipe and looks like it's taken hours, which of course it hasn't. Will certainly make this again.

  It works well with different types of pastry too - I'd use puff pastry for a special dinner, but whip up some plain shortcrust when having it for supper. I've also tried flaky pastry, which is nice.

  I have made three changes. I use red onions instead of shallots. I also make it in individual dishes as I found the big tart hard to cut and the portions didn't look tidy. And finally, when I have tipped the tarts out onto the plates, I crumble some mild goat cheese over the top and pop it back in the oven for 5 minutes to warm the cheese.

  Absolutely lovely. I used molasses sugar and vanilla and balsamic dressing which gave it such a rich flavour. Went down really well. Next time I am going to try making it with a scone topping to make it a little healthier. It was great cold the next day and also reheated well.

  Really great recipe. The cooking of the onions down to the sticky stage takes longer than you'd think, but don't rush it, or it won't be so oozy and soft.
