“Can you do the Pizza Maker?”

Remember old school HC pit classic The Pizza Maker, well this is like that, but “The Tart Maker…”

No one should have time to make pastry after a day in work for dinner for one, so buy ready rolled yeah.

You will need:

Ready rolled puff pastry sheet

One block Halloumi

Tomato puree

Balsamic vinegar

Olive oil

Salt & cracked Black Pepper

Wedges:

Sweet potato

Olive oil

Salt, pepper & Smoked Paprika

Sweet Chilli and mayo mixed for dipping

Rinse your sweet pot, slice into thick wedges, don’t peel never peel the skins are the best bit! Pre heat the oven to 200, place the wedges in a tray drizzle with oil and loads of S&P and a healthy sprinkle of smoked paprika, give the tray a really good shake to coat the wedges. Bake at the top of the oven.

Roll out your pastry sheet; mix together in a ramekin tomato puree, balsamic vinegar, a little olive oil, lots of s&p, and a little water to thin out.

Spread thinly onto pastry sheet, top with healthy chunks of halloumi, I use the whole block and have it over two days, but you will prob want to share with loved ones whereas I do not.

Place on a baking tray, bake in the middle of the oven, here is the only tricky bit, halloumi exudes quite a lot of liquid whilst cooking so after about ten mins remove from the oven and carefully pour off the excess liquid or you will get the dreaded “Soggy Bottom” and will end up “a man of constant Sorrow”.

Return to the oven, shake your wedges, put the tart back in for another 10-15 until golden brown, may require 5 mins off the tray for the bottom to brown, but do this once the top is cooked so it holds together on the grease-proof.

Once it’s all cooked, serve with the sweet chilli mayo for dipping and a nice fruity beer.

I would recommend listening to Young Conservatives and considering your voting options ready for tomorrow.

Enjoy
