Mediterranean tarts

Free-form tarts are the easiest pastries to make: no lining or blind baking required. This recipe uses tomato, olive and anchovy for the filling, and don't skip the fresh herbs on top.

Ingredients

  • 200 g tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 5–6 green olives, pitted, roughly chopped
  • 4 pieces bocconcini
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 3–4 anchovies
  • ½ bunch basil, leaves only, roughly torn
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed, cut into large circles
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1–2 tsp black sesame seeds
  • fresh herbs, such as parsley and chives, to garnish
  • extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C.
  2. Place tomato and olives into a mixing bowl. Tear bocconcini into pieces and add to tomato mixture, then add anchovies and basil. Season with salt and pepper and mix until combined.
  3. Place a pastry circle on a baking tray. Place a heaped spoonful of the mixture into centre of pastry to act as a guide for edges. Brush edge of pastry with egg. Pinch and roll edges up, turning tray as you go and leaving a gap so you can add more filling.
  4. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet. Fill both with leftover mixture. Brush rolled edges with egg and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden.
  5. Garnish with mixed herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
