Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

This recipe originates with Mme Renaud, the mother of my French exchange, Sophie. At thirteen, I watched her make it with both interest and apprehension (having some doubts about both mustard and tomatoes) – and was absolutely transported on first bite. It tastes like summer and holidays.

Ingredients

1 x 320g sheet of puff pastry (all-butter if available)
2½ tbsp smooth Dijon mustard
330g vine tomatoes, thinly sliced
5g fresh tarragon, finely chopped
1 tsp sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan/220°C/gas 7. Unroll the puff pastry and place in a lined roasting tin. Spread the mustard all over, leaving a 2cm border around the edges.

Arrange the sliced tomatoes over the mustard, then scatter over the tarragon, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil, then transfer to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately.
