Caramelised red onion tarte tatins are an elegant and flavorful dish that's perfect for special occasions or a simple but impressive weeknight dinner.

The tarte tatin method results in a beautifully golden crust and deeply flavorful filling that will surely delight your taste buds.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Melt the butter in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced red onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until the onions are softened and start to caramelize.
- Add the chopped garlic and fresh thyme leaves, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the onions.
- Pour the vinegar into the skillet, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is slightly thicker and caramelized. Stir well to make sure the onions are coated.
- While the onion mixture is being prepared, cut the puff pastry sheets into circles slightly larger than the diameter of your skillet. You may need to overlap and press together two sheets if your skillet is large.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Allow the caramelised onion mixture to cool slightly.
- Carefully place the puff pastry circle over the onions in the skillet, tucking the edges down around the onions.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Place a large serving plate over the skillet. Using oven mitts, carefully flip the skillet to invert the tarte tatin onto the plate, so the caramelised onions are on top.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is melted and slightly caramelized before adding the onions for a richer flavor.
- Slice the onions evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Fresh thyme adds a wonderful aroma and flavor; however, you can also use dried thyme if fresh is unavailable.
- Keep an eye on the sugar mixture to prevent it from burning; a golden brown caramel is ideal.
- Allow the tarte tatins to rest for a few minutes after baking before inverting them to help retain their shape.
Caramelised red onion tarte tatins bring together the sweetness of caramelized onions and the flakiness of puff pastry to create a delightful and visually appealing dish.
