This is one of those really simple dishes that you will find youself making a lot (like we do!!). It makes a great starter but we actually have this as a whole main course. Using shop bought puff pastry means that you just need some red onions and some tomatoes and you are pretty much done.

This is a recipe that is easily made Vegan by using vegan puff pastry, but topping it with mozarella or cheddar cheese also makes a nice addition. The end result is a fresh, sweet and zingy tart that you and your guests will enjoy.
