Quick, easy, posh.

I love Sunday roast, and I am determined to have a veggie alternative which looks and tastes more sexy than the meat. I know it’s not the best picture, but don’t let that put  you off my caramelised onion and goats cheese tarts,  perfect for Sunday Roast, it’s quick, easy, and super tasty.

You will need : Ready made puff pastry (why bother make your own?!), red onions, brown sugar, butter, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.

Apparently to get good caramelised onions you need to fry them for ages, but I find half a hour is enough time for this recipe! All you need to do is soften the onions in the butter and olive oil, add the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and let it boil down to a thick consistency. I hate measuring, so I do this to taste. Add a little bit of balsamic and sugar at a time and taste to make sure the balance is right. Around three onions need one cup of balsamic, and one cup of brown sugar. Pile the caramelised onion on to the puff pastry, and cover in goats cheese. Bake in the oven for around 20 minutes, but you’ll know when they’re ready.

I’ve tried this recipe with brie, cheddar and feta, be creative. These would make a great starter, just served with some salad and balsamic cream. Yum!

Perfect, easy, and better that quorn!
