Method
- Tarte Tatin
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- In a large oven-proof frying pan over medium heat, add olive oil and fry the rashers until golden on both sides.
- Place the leeks sliced-side down into the pan, then add the butter, thyme, vegetable stock, water, castor sugar, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
- Close with a lid and allow to cook for ten minutes.
- Remove the lid and fry until the liquid has evaporated.
- While the leeks are cooking, roll the pastry out on a flour-dusted surface and cut it into a circle, slightly bigger than the pan.
- As soon as the pan juices have evaporated, remove the pan from the heat.
- Place the pastry over the leeks and tuck it in on the sides.
- Brush the top with beaten egg and bake for 15 minutes.
- Feta & Sundried Tomato Cream
- Whip the feta and cream together in a large mixing bowl.
- Fold in the black pepper and sundried tomatoes.
Serve
Remove the pan from the oven, place a plate over it and flip the tarte tatin onto the plate.
Top with feta and sundried tomato cream, garnish with micro herbs and serve sliced.
