CARAMELIZED, ONION, EGGPLANT AND TOMATO TART
Steps:
- To make the crust, in a large bowl whisk together flour and salt. Add chilled olive oil and using clean hands or a fork, mix until the oil is incorporated and the mixture is the consistency of small peas. Add the ice water and mix until dough has just formed. Shaped into a 6-inch disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Heat the oven to 375 F. Coat a large baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Mist the eggplant rounds with cooking spray, then season both sides of each slice with salt and pepper. Arrange the eggplants slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until soft and golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside. While the eggplant cooks, in a large saucepan over medium, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and saute until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and the thyme, then reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally so the onions don't burn, until very soft and browned, about another 30 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and remove from heat. Mist an 11-inch springform tart pan (or a tart pan with a removable bottom) with cooking spray. On a clean, floured surface using a floured rolling pin, roll the chilled dough into a 13-inch circle. Transfer the dough
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no blemishes.
- Don't peel the tomatoes. The skin of the tomatoes adds flavor and texture to the tart.
- Use a variety of onions. Sweet onions, such as Vidalia onions, will give the tart a milder flavor, while yellow onions or red onions will add a more pungent flavor.
- Caramelize the onions before adding them to the tart. This will bring out their sweetness and flavor.
- Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will give the tart a rich, flavorful taste.
- Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The tart should be cooked through, but not overcooked, or the filling will become dry.
- Let the tart cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Tomato and onion tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. The tart is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and onions.
With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, tomato and onion tart is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
