Goats cheese and red onion tartlets

I make these tarts using my proper Yorkshire pudding tin (4 shallow cups in the tin) so it makes perfect shallow little tarts.

• 4 slices of bread
• Splash of olive oil
• 2 large red onions cut in half and very thinly sliced
• 50ml red wine
• 50ml balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 small round of goats cheese (from the chiller aisle, not the cheese counter, there's one in a white packet with a goat on the top for 99p), sliced into 4 circles.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

Heat the oil in a shallow based frying pan, add the onion and saute for 5-10 minutes until soft.

Add the red wine, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar and simmer on a low heat for around 20mins until the liquid goes thick and sticky.

Grease the Yorkshire Pudding tins.  Get a cookie cutter or a saucer a little bigger than the size of the yorkshire pudding cup and cut out circles of bread.  Put them into the cups and gently push them into the edges to form a little case.

Divide the onion mixture equally between the cases and lay a slice of goats cheese on the top of each tart.  Put in the oven for 10-15 mins until the cheese goes golden brown on top.

Caremalised red onion and goats cheese tarts

I know that everyone has their own recipe for this but I have a big thing for goats cheese, so here we go!

Puff pastry (pre-rolled if you're as lazy as me)
A large red onion
A block of goats cheese (as big as you want)
sugar
salt/pepper

Pre heat your oven to gas mark tart and then cut some circles of pastry from the puff pastry that looks bigger than they'd need to be. Butter a muffin tray and then put your puff pastry in the holes and fork them before placing in the oven to blind bake for about fifteen mins.
Chop your onion into a half and then thin slices. Place into a sauce pan with a knob of butter and cook slowly with a couple of tea spoons of sugar until the onions soften and make their own caramel.
After the tart cases have blind baked take them out of the oven and fill the bottoms with the red onion and top with as much goats cheese as you can possibly fit in. Put them back in the oven at gas mark golden brown and cook till they look amazing. Enjoy with a nice salad, good company and if your host is kind enough, some chocolate orange coffee. Noms!
