Ingredients
Tomato
800 g, halved or quartered, if large
Olive Oil
1 teaspoon(s)
Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon(s)
Chilli flakes
1 pinch
Light Mozzarella
125 g, very thinly sliced
Basil, fresh
1 tablespoon(s), handful
Ready rolled light puff pastry sheet
320 g, uncooked
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 160°C, fan 140°C, gas mark 3. Put the tomatoes in a large roasting tin and drizzle over the oil and vinegar, then scatter over the chilli flakes. Season to taste and roast for 1 hour, until the tomatoes are starting to dehydrate. Remove from the oven and set aside.
2
Increase the oven temperature to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6 and line a baking sheet with baking paper. Unroll the pastry and trim the edges to a 20cm x 30cm rectangle, discarding the trimmings. Put the pastry on the prepared baking sheet and score a 1.5cm border. Prick the inner rectangle all over with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes, until the pastry has risen and is starting to turn golden.
3
Remove from the oven and arrange the tomatoes on the inner rectangle, leaving the border uncovered. Top the tomatoes with the mozzarella and return to the oven for another 10-12 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and golden. Remove from the oven and scatter over the basil leaves to serve.
