Description

Need a meatless meal? Try this tomato tart. It is easy and delicious as well. It would be a perfect dish to make when those garden tomatoes are ready to be picked!

Ingredients

• 1 head garlic
• extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lb.- about 4 or 5, medium tomatoes, similar to each other in size
• 1 sheet puff pastry, chilled until ready to make
• 1 t. fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
• kosher salt, to taste
• freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Slice off just the top of the garlic head so that a small amount of each clove shows through. Place the garlic head in a small ramekin; drizzle a little olive oil on top, just enough to cover the exposed cloves. Sprinkle with kosher salt; cover the ramekin with foil. Place the ramekin in the oven; roast 40 minutes. Set aside to cool.
3. Once garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves into a bowl; mash with the back of a spoon to make a paste.
