Tatin of Shallots with Goat’s Cheese
Tarte tatins look very impressive but they're fairly easy, making this recipe a must-try for dinner parties
Method
- 1
Roll out the puff pastry to a 25cm round. Add 50g of the butter to a 20cm non-stick pan and allow to melt, then add the peeled shallots and season.
- 2
Cook on top of the stove gently until the shallots are ¾ cooked. Add the port to the hot pan until all of the port has evaporated. Take the pan off the heat and allow the shallots to go cold.
- 3
Cover with the pastry and tuck the pastry down the sides of the pan to completely obscure the shallots from your vision. Prick a few times with the tip of a small knife.
- 4
Cook in a preheated oven at 180C/350F/Gas 4 for 20–25 minutes. Next, make your vinaigrette by mixing the mustard, honey and vinegar together. Then slowly add in the oil to ensure the vinaigrette comes together.
- 5
Remove the pan from the oven and allow to settle for five minutes before turning out on a dish. Serve with the goat’s cheese, hazelnuts, vinaigrette and rocket.
