Isle of Wight Tomato Lunchbox Tarts

These lovely, individual tarts filled with slow-roasted Isle of Wight Tomatoes, pesto and mozzarella are easily portable and make a great alternative to sandwiches. They are certain to go down a treat on a picnic or simply as a tasty lunch in the garden.

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

You’ll need

375g pack fresh ready-rolled puff pastry

2 heaped tbsp fresh basil pesto

50g Slow Roasted Tomatoes with Garlic, Basil and Extra Virgin Oil, roughly chopped

Two big handfuls of Piccolo tomatoes, halved

100g mozzarella roughly chopped

Olive Oil

Fresh basil leaves to serve

What to do

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Unroll the puff pastry and cut into four equal rectangles. Score a 1cm border around the edge. Prick the centre of the pastry all over with a fork, place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

Spread the pesto over the centre of the pastry, top with the chopped Slow Roasted Tomatoes and then the halved Piccolo tomatoes and finally the mozzarella.

Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Return to the oven for 10 minutes.

Serve with a few fresh basil leaves on top.
