Preparation duration: 10 minutes

Cooking duration: 25 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2 to 3 cups of cherry tomatoes sliced in half

1/4 cup mascarpone cheese

1/4 cup olive tapenade

1 sheet of puff pastry (about 250 g)

salt and pepper to taste

Equipment:

baking sheet

oven

knife

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat your oven to 425 F degrees. Grease a large cookie sheet.Cut the puff pastry sheet in two. Take one half and roll it out a bit. I actually formed it in a dough then rolled it out, just so that I used most of the puff pastry for the tart. Once you roll it out, cut out about 6" round, using a plate as a guide. Repeat with the other half of the pastry.Place the pastry rounds on the greased cookie sheet. Using a knife, mark a shallow cut about 1/2 an inch from the edge of each round to form a rim. This is a great trick. what will happen is the pastry will rise around the tapenade and tomatoes, very smart idea.You'll need about 1/4 cup of tapenade. Use about half of it to spread it over the pastry rounds, and make sure you keep it inside the marked rim. Pile half the tomatoes which are cut in half, over the tapenade, again keeping them inside the rim.Add salt and pepper to taste.Bake for about 15 minutes, until the rim of the pastry rises. Take the tarts out of the oven, dot it with mascarpone cheese in between the tomatoes, and dot some more tapenade. Bake again for another 10 minutes or until the mascarpone cheese has melted.

Food Joke

Juan was driving down a country lane in his pickup when suddenly a chicken darted into the road in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, but realized that the chicken wasspeeding off down the road at about 30 miles an hour. Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn`t catch up to the accelerating chicken. Seeing itturn into a small farm, Juan followed it. To his astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of thechickens had three legs.The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said, "Three-legged chickens? That`s astonishing!"The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred `em that way because I love drumsticks."Juan was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?"The farmer smiled. "Dunno. Haven`t been able to catch one yet."
