CARAMELIZED ONION POTATO TART



Caramelized Onion Potato Tart image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large onion, sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large Russet potatoes, washed
2 to 3 tablespoons butter, broken into small pieces
Special equipment: parchment paper cut into large circle to fit saute pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Set a large skillet over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until they are tender and brown all over.
  • Using a mandolin (or sharp knife), finely slice the potatoes into rounds (you can place them in a bowl with a wet towel over the top to stop them from going brown while you work). Place the potatoes into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. When ready, add the onions and toss to combine without breaking potatoes.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon water to the same pan the onions were cooked in and allow it to come to a bubble. Using layered paper towels, wipe the pan clean.
  • Add some extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and add the potatoes to the pan, making sure the potatoes are flat. Top with the diced butter.
  • Take a piece of parchment paper and fold in half. Find the middle of the parchment along the crease and hold in place with your finger. Taking the right side of the parchment, pull it towards the center and fold it straight down to create a diagonal edge. Fold the parchment in half to create a triangle. Place the pointed edge in the middle of the saute pan on top of the potatoes to find its radius. Make a marker of where the pan edge ends (or starts). At this point you can cut the parchment at this marker and open to reveal a circle.
  • Cover the potatoes with the parchment paper and press down. Drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil over the top so it down burn and rub it in.
  • Place the pan into the oven on the top rack and bake for about 45 minutes.
  • When done remove from oven and run a knife around the edge to separate from the pan. Place a large plate on top of the saute pan and flip. Remove the saute pan. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into slices.

50g butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion , cut into thin wedges
1 tsp sugar
85g butter
175g self-raising flour

1 tsp sugar
1 fat garlic clove , thinly sliced
5 plum tomatoes , halved lengthways
several sprigs of thyme
300g pkt cherry tomatoes

Steps:

  • 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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes six 5-inch tartlets

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into small pieces, plus more for pans
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 (17 1/4-ounce) standard package store-bought puff pastry
4 medium yellow onions, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
5 small new potatoes, peeled
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Pinch of sugar

Steps:

  • Very generously butter six 5-inch round metal pie plates; set aside. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out puff pastry to a scant 1/4-inch thickness. Using a cutter or a small plate as a guide, cut dough into 4 1/2-inch rounds. Prick rounds all over with a fork. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Lay two or three onion rounds on the bottom of each pie pan. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice potatoes into thin rounds, about a scant 1/4 inch thick. Place potato slices, slightly overlapping, over the onion in two layers of concentric circles (they should completely cover the onion). Sprinkle potatoes generously with salt and pepper. Place chilled puff pastry rounds on top of the potatoes in each pie plate. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Immediately invert tartlets onto a platter. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook until mixture reduces to a syrup, about 4 minutes. Whisk in butter, a piece at a time, until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Glaze tartlets with balsamic syrup and serve warm.

ONION & GOAT'S CHEESE TARTE TATINS



Onion & goat's cheese tarte tatins image

Individual tarte Tatin-style bakes with puff pastry, caramelised onions, thyme and ash goat's cheese make a sumptuous vegetarian lunch or dinner party starter

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

100g golden caster sugar
50ml cider vinegar
vegetable oil , for frying
3 large white onions , halved
6 thyme sprigs , plus extra picked thyme leaves to serve
320g sheet all-butter ready-rolled puff pastry
150g ash goat's cheese log, sliced into six discs

Steps:

  • Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Put the sugar in a heavy-based saucepan and melt over a medium heat. Cook to a dark caramel, occasionally swirling the pan gently to help melt any remaining sugar and get an even colour. Add the vinegar, stir to combine, and pour into the tray, spreading it out. Leave to cool.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Add a splash of oil to an ovenproof frying pan over a medium-high heat. Lay the onions cut-side down and fry until blackened and just starting to burn, about 5 mins. Add the thyme sprigs, then transfer to the oven and bake for 25 mins. Once the onions are tender, remove from the pan. Space them out evenly, cut-side down, on the caramel and leave to cool.
  • Once the onions are cool, cut the pastry into six equal discs, each large enough to cover an onion half. Cover the onions with the pastry, tucking it under slightly. Put the tray in the fridge for 1 hr so that the pastry firms up a bit.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the onion tarts for 20 mins, then reduce heat to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 10 mins more.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Once cool enough to handle, turn the tarts so the onions are now facing up. Lay a slice of goat's cheese on top of each and bake for a further 10 mins. Remove from the oven and sprinkle over a few thyme leaves to serve.

POTATO, GOAT CHEESE AND CARAMELIZED ONION TATIN



Potato, Goat Cheese And Caramelized Onion Tatin image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     casseroles, appetizer, main course

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 medium onions, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound baking potatoes, peeled and cut across into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 ounces soft, mild goat cheese, like Montrachet, crumbled
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped shallots
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 sprig fresh thyme
1/8 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup Madeira
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 cup vegetable broth

Steps:

  • To make the tatin, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch round gratin dish. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cumin and cook until golden brown and soft, stirring from time to time, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet, add the potatoes and toss to coat. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Layer the potatoes in the prepared dish. Bake until tender, about 40 minutes. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  • Top the potatoes with the goat cheese and then the onion mixture. Place the pastry on a work surface and press out the seams. Cut out a 9-inch circle and pierce it all over with a fork. Place the pastry over the cheese.
  • Meanwhile, to make the sauce, melt 2 teaspoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Refrigerate the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add the mushrooms, shallots, garlic, thyme, tarragon and basil and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the Madeira and dry red wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Add the broth and simmer until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes.
  • Increase oven heat to 400 degrees. Bake the tatin until the pastry is brown, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the sauce to a simmer. Cut the butter into small pieces. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually whisk in the butter pieces. Remove the thyme sprig.
  • To serve, run a small knife around the edge of the tatin to loosen. Invert onto a plate and cut into 4 wedges. Place 1 wedge on each of 4 plates and spoon some of the sauce around each one. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality puff pastry for the best results.
