Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 12 oz beetroot 350g, approx 1-2 beet, cooked
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 oz soft goats cheese 30g, approx, log or from a round

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F/190C.
  • Start by rolling out the puff pastry a little then putting a small skillet/frying pan on top to measure and cut out a round disk the size of the skillet.
  • Peel the beetroot if not already peeled and cut into slices around ¼in/ ½cm thick.
  • Melt the butter in the skillet/frying pan then add the vinegar and sugar. Stir until dissolved and cook a minute.
  • Lay the beetroot slices around the pan, working from the outside, layering round then filling any gap in the middle. Do this while the butter-sugar mix is still on the heat, being careful not to touch it with your fingers.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and dot chunks of goats cheese on top of the beetroot.
  • Carefully lay the pastry disk over the beetroot and tuck the edges down as best you can round the sides.
  • Bake in the oven until light brown on top, around 20 minutes.
  • Allow the tart to rest a minute or two before inverting. Serve warm or cold.
