I saw these lovely tomatoes on my friend, Sophia Lindop's blog and it immediately inspired me to do something with the lovely tomatoes in my fridge.... sadly not from my own garden, like hers!!There are so many delicious recipes for tomatoes, but I felt like a Tarte Tatin.
A classic Apple Tarte Tatin has lots of butter and sugar and we all know that those ingredients are definite no-no's when trying to eat a little more healthier! So, although I chose the name for this recipe, I broke every rule for making a classic Tarte Tatin. I roasted the tomatoes in the oven with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar and I made a pastry with wholemeal flour and used a little oil instead of butter......
Tomato Tarte Tatin
For the filling
1 large onion - cut in thick slices
about 10 small tomatoes- halved
EVO
salt and pepper
a little sugar
Preheat oven to 220C
Place halved tomatoes in the hot oven and roast for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, heat a skillet with a metal handle. Add a little oil and brown the onion slices . Now add the tomatoes, cut side down. Let it cool down a bit while you make the pastry.
For the pastry
2 cups wholemeal flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup low-fat milk
salt/pepper
2 tsp baking powder
Mix all the ingredients together and roll out. Cut a cirle the size of your pan and place the pastry over the tomatoes and onions.....fold in on the sides. Bake in a hot oven until the pastry has browned. There is enough pastry for another tart. I made another flavor...recipe to follow!!! Serve with a salad and something cold and crisp to drink!!!!
I received two awards and will reveal all when I am not in such a hurry...I want to take my time!!!

wow how nice. really wish to grab a piece.
Oh Nina. Can I come live with you? This looks like the most delicious tatin I've ever seen. Absolutely perfect.
Nian, Nina, Nina... What more can I say? You always blow me away.
Now this would have been perfect for the sweet/savoury WTSIM event :) I love savoury tartes tatin and they are just a lot healthier than the sweet ones as you can caramelise the veggies in olive oil and you don't use sugar. I've always wanted to try a tomato one - maybe your recipe will give me the push I needed!
Such a great combination! Love your pictures!
This looks so tasty! I'm really excited to try this as soon as tomatoes are in season.
Nina, Nina, this pizza looks perfect!!!! MMMMMMMMMMMM......& congrats on your awards?!?!!

A tomato and onion tatin sound really good!
Your tomato tart is to die for. I'm crazy about tomatoes and I think you've made one of the prettiest dishes yet.

This looks so good! I love tomatoes, cheese and pastry in any combination.
Well done on the nomination!
Hi Nina - it looks divine! We made one last November, with a recipe from the Chocolate & Zucchini cookbook. I recommend that one as well, it was a big hit.
Oh how lovely your melting cheese looks!
