Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
16g
1 onion
160g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g
3 tomatoes
390g
1 sheet puff pastry
250g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven and Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Slice the onion thinly and set aside.
- Slice the tomatoes and set aside.
- Chop the parsley.
2. Caramelize the Onions:
- In an ovenproof skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.

3. Deglaze the Pan:
- Add the vinegar to the caramelized onions and stir to deglaze the pan, allowing the flavors to meld and any browned bits to dissolve.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Tarte Tatin:
- Arrange the tomato slices over the caramelized onion mixture in a single layer.
- Lightly season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Carefully place the puff pastry sheet over the tomatoes and onions, tucking the edges down the sides of the skillet.
5. Bake:
- Place your skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and fully puffed.

6. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of the tart to loosen it.
- Carefully invert the skillet onto a serving plate, so the pastry is on the bottom and the caramelized onion and tomato are on top.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the tart for a burst of freshness.
7. Enjoy:
- Slice and serve warm. This tarte tatin pairs beautifully with a side salad or can be enjoyed as a light lunch or appetizer.

Tips:

- Thinly slice the onions to ensure they caramelise evenly and release their sweetness.

- Roast the tomatoes lightly before adding them to the tarte tatin for an enhanced, concentrated flavor.

- Be sure to keep the puff pastry cold until you’re ready to use it to ensure it remains flaky and crisp after baking.

- Let the tarte tatin cool for a few minutes before inverting it onto a plate to prevent any hot caramel from spilling.

- Sprinkle some fresh parsley over the tart before serving for a burst of colour and freshness.
