Fresh and Sundried Tomato Tart Serves 4-6 This olive oil pastry will definitely become one of your favourites, not only because it is a healthier option, but it also tastes delicious with any savoury filling and is easy to make. The only watch point is to leave it at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften after mixing and before rolling. The roasted fresh and sundried tomato combination is an absolute hit! If making in advance - bake the pastry and roast the tomatoes. Assemble and bake for the final 10 minutes on the day.
