Ingredients

FOR THE MARINATED TOMATOES:
Cherry tomatoes
Olive oil
Garlic
Thyme
Lemon juice
Tomato juice
Goat cheese mousse
200g goat cheese

100g double cream
Salt
Pepper

FOR THE ONION CHUTNEY:
White onion
Balsamic reduction
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

FOR THE CHEESE SABLE:
300g goat cheese
250g flour
250g butter
Tom berries
Mixed leaves
Olive oil

Directions

Peel the tomatoes and leave them to marinate for at least 4 hours.
With a whisk, work the cheese and add the cream. Continue to whisk until you have a smooth
texture. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a piping bag.
Chop the onions and sauté them in a pan, with olive oil. Add the vinegar and let it reduce slowly
until you get a chutney consistency (similar to a jam).
For the Sable, work the butter until you get a smooth consistency. Add the goat cheese and mix
it well in the butter. Whisk in the flour and cool down in the fridge wrapped in cling film. Once
completely chilled, transfer it to a table with flour and use a rolling pin until you have the dough
with 2mm thickness.
With a cutter or a knife cut in circular shape with 6cm diameter.
Cook it for 15 minutes at 160C.
To assemble:
Spread the chutney in the plate with the same diameter of the Sable and cover with the Sable.
Plate the marinated tomatoes on the top, pipe the cheese in the small spaces between the
tomatoes around the “tart”.
Top it with some mixed leaves and use good olive oil to season the tart.
Bon appetit!
