- 1 Orange, grated zest of ( use juice in filling)
- ¼ x 5ml tsp Fresh grated nutmeg

- Juice from 1 orange (above)
- 4 Cloves
- 1 x 5ml tsp Soft dark brown sugar
- 250g/ 9oz Goats cheese
- 9 Baby plum tomatoes (halved)
Method
1. Prepare the pastry. Place half the measured Pastry Mix in a bowl with the butter, orange zest, nutmeg egg and water. Mix to a smooth paste with a fork. Work in the remaining Pastry Mix to form a smooth ball of pastry. Knead on a work surface lightly dusted with the White Mix for 2 minutes.
2. Wrap and chill pastry for about 20 minutes.
3. Roll out thinly and cut into 16 rounds using an 8cm/ 3" pastry cutter. Place pastry rounds into patty trays.
4. Prepare the filling. Place the onions, oil, orange juice, cloves and sugar in a medium pan. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover and cook on a low heat for 10 – 12 minutes until soft but not browned. Divide onion mix between the pastry cases. Top with small rounds or squares of goats cheese depending on how it is bought. Finish with a tomato half in the centre, cut side up.
5. Oven cook until the pastry is golden and the cheese has started to melt. Best served straight from the oven whilst still warm. Alternatively allow to cool and freeze. Reheat straight from frozen for 20 minutes at 180°C/160°C Fan/350°F/Gas Mark 4
