Ingredients

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Olive Oil: 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Red Onion: 2 large red onions, trimmed at the root and cut into thin wedges
  • Feta Cheese: 100g feta cheese, crumbled
  • Balsamic Vinegar: 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Black Olive: 175g black olive, pitted and chopped
  • Light Muscovado Sugar: 2 tbsp light muscovado sugar
  • Ready Rolled Puff Pastry: 375g sheet ready-rolled puff pastry

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then gently fry the onions for about 10 mins until golden and soft. Add the sugar and balsamic vinegar, then cook for a further 5 mins until the juices are reduced and syrupy. Leave to cool.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry onto a baking tray. Score a line a finger-width in from the edge all the way around, then cover the middle with the onion mix. Scatter the feta and olives over. Season and drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the topping.
  3. Bake for 15 mins or until the pastry is risen and golden and the base is crisp. Cut into wedges and serve with a green salad.
