- Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Arrange the tomatoes cut-side up on a wire rack set over a roasting tin. Sprinkle with sea salt and scatter the tarragon leaves over. Put in the oven for 2 hours, until semi-dried. Remove from the oven and increase the temperature to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
- Divide the butter between 2 ovenproof frying pans (about 18cm each) or 1 large one and put over a medium heat. When the butter foams, stir in the balsamic vinegar and season.
- Divide the tomatoes between the frying pans, arranging them cut-side down in a single layer. Remove from the heat. Cut 2 circles of pastry large enough to cover the tomatoes then lay them over the top, pushing down gently. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the pastry is puffed up and golden. Carefully invert the tarts onto plates, sprinkle with tarragon leaves and serve.
