Red Pepper, Tomato and Vintage Cheddar Tartlets *Featured Recipe*

These tasty tartlets are perfect for the upcoming sunny weather (I am being positive!!!). Ideal for outdoor eating, these would be great for a summer picnic.

Red Pepper, Tomato and Vintage Cheddar Tartlets

Ingredients

2 large onions, peeled and chopped

50g olive oil

2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes

1 red chilli, deseeded and finely diced

5g sugar

2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped

1 tbsp rosemary, finely chopped

200g ready made puff pastry

2 Ramiro red peppers, cut into strips

Salt and pepper

200g Pilgrims Choice Vintage Cheddar, grated

Method

Cook the onions in olive oil until soft and melted for about 30 mins.

Add the tomatoes, chill, garlic, rosemary and peppers to the onions and cook over a gentle heat for about 45 mins (stirring occasionally) until everything has reduced and become really thick. Remove from the heat, cool and add some seasoning.

Meanwhile, roll out the pastry and line 8 individual tart tins.

Scatter half of the cheese in the base of the pastry cases. Spoon in the tomato filling and finish with the remaining grated cheese.

Bake in a pre heated oven at 200c, 400f or gas 6 for about 30 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden.

Serve warm or cool and pack up for a picnic.

If you prefer this could easily be  made as one large tart, decorated with rosemary sprigs and served as a light lunch with salad leaves.
