Roasted Potato, Goat Cheese, Balsamic Reduction and Caramelized Onion Tart Recipe
Caramelized onions are one of those flavours that take everything it is paired with up a level. I had some leftover baked potato and thought about throwing them on a pizza but was feeling lazy so grabbed puff pastry instead. Balsamic reduction and goat cheese take it to the next level of deliciousness. Great with an arugula salad.
- 1 sheet Puff pastry
- 1 baking potato
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 1 tablespoon butter

- 1 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 cup goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt

Peel potato, slice into 1/4 inch slices. Toss potato, 1 teaspoon of thyme, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a large bowl. Put on a baking sheet and bake in oven 25-35 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Set aside. - Bring 1 cup of balsamic vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup. Will be a syrup/mollasses like texture. Set aside.
- Heat butter in a medium size saucepan on medium heat. Add onions. Add remaining teaspoon of thyme. Cook, adding remaining 4 tablespoons of balsamic every 5 minutes to deglaze pan. Total cooking time should be 20-25 minutes or until softened and thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
